Hello loves,Popping in for a holiday pep talk! If you’ve been here for a while you know I am a big fan of lowering the bar and experimentation, and I think December is a great time to do both. We tend to put healthy habits on hold until after the holidays because it is just too hard to be “good” with all the celebrations and temptations, and while it can be difficult to be disciplined when we are outside of our routines, I think it also allows space to play around with how we support our well-being. With all of the busyness around this time of year, I identified my non-negotiable habits so that I can stay sane and energized. For me that means lifting weights and eating a high-protein breakfast at the moment (not in that order) and anything else beyond that is a bonus. Maybe you let your diet be what it is but you focus on sleep, or staying hydrated or chewing your food. Consistency doesn’t necessarily mean repeating the same actions over and over, but staying committed to the mission. Think of it as a dimmer switch rather than on/off. As the season calms down you can slowly increase your capacity but you’ll have a running start and you’ll know what habits actually work. I love trouble-shooting strategies for maintaining good health, so book a FREE 20 minute consult with me if you would like to create a road map into 2025.
