Think back to your childhood\u2026 Holidays were ALWAYS filled with joy, excitement, and fun. Does it have to change?<\/span><\/p>\n Take a few minutes and think \u201cwhat does your ideal holiday look like?\u201d (Fuzzy targets don\u2019t get hit so begin with a clear plan of where you are going)<\/span><\/p>\n Who would you spend time with?<\/span> The only way to make this time meaningful is if you truly commit to taking action this holiday season. Here are three ideas to get you started:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0\u00a0Get up and move!<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n So it might be inevitable that you are going to eat more, but why does this mean that you are going to move less? Outside of overconsumption during the holidays’ people also tend to skip their daily fitness routine. There is no reason that everything needs to fall apart during the last leg of the race! We encourage you to exercise for at least 30 minutes four times each week during the holiday season.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be afraid to get creative with movement:<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n What is your exercise plan during the holidays?<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Comment with \u201cI\u2019M MOVIN\u201d if you won\u2019t abandon your workout time.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0Focus on more than the food<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n People often spend more time focusing on what they put in their mouths than on what comes out of their mouths by means of conversation. The key to controlling yourself during the holiday is to become distracted by something other than highly caloric items. Spend time playing games, telling stories, singing, dancing, and having fun! The more time you spend doing something outside of eating, the easier it will be to avoid another unhealthy holiday season.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Feel free to play a new family game, go on a family hike, do an art project, sing songs, dance around the house, etc.\u00a0\u00a0Holidays are intended to create new traditions so use this time wisely because when looking back you will be overjoyed with the memories that you captured.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Challenge for you:\u00a0 Have at least a ten-minute conversation with five people before taking your first bite of food at any holiday party.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0Be generous<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n One of the best ways to stay calm, content, and cheerful this time of year is to act generously with your loved ones, colleagues, and friends. This does not mean you need to spend a ton of money or do outlandish things, but the act of giving is the most rewarding experience you can create for yourself.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Whether this means giving your time, a small gift, writing a note, or simply expressing gratitude.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n You can define generosity however it is best for you, but during this holiday season, make a commitment to experience the gift of helping the people you care about most. This is the ultimate solution to creating a stress-free holiday!<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n As Anne Frank so eloquently said, \u201cNo-one has ever become poor by giving.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Comment with \u201cGenerosity is my Gift\u201d if you\u2019ll use this strategy.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n We really want to empower you to take action this year because you deserve to THRIVE. Taking control of your food, movement, and stress is within reach and the ideas we just discussed will help guide you during this time of year.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Yes, the holidays will be stressful. \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n But this year will be different because you are prepared to put your health first.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n Prove to yourself you CAN DO IT and watch what happens to all of the goals you set\u00a0in your life.<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n I know you have what it takes to make this holiday season happy and healthy and we\u2019re excited to support you, both in and out of the office, and be part of this experience!<\/p>\n \n\n\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] THE HOLIDAYS ARE ON THE HORIZON!
