Have you been working on taking charge of your health this year?
With the holidays right around the corner, there’s often a big push to “stay on track” and not lose progress.
But… what if your body is asking for a pause? What if slowing down feels right?
I get it.
And, as it turns out, we’re actually wired to feel this way.
Research shows that, as we shift into winter, our bodies naturally crave more sleep, comfort, and even a little extra fuel.
In other words, what you’re experiencing is biology—not a lack of discipline.
Still, rather than letting go of your routines, what if you tried modifying them to fit the season?
If your focus is on building a consistent workout habit, here’s what that might look like:
Swap outdoor running for treadmill intervals.
Replace evening workouts with quick morning workouts.
Or try a meal delivery service in place of weekly meal prep while balancing holiday plans.
For me, it looks like finding simpler recipes to save time while meal prepping and hiring a cleaning service so I can focus my efforts on my business as we approach the end of the year.
In other words, life has its seasons…
Sometimes, we’re all in and going strong—and other times, rest is what we need most.
Seeing those moments as chances to modify rather than quit can break that “start-stop” cycle so many of us feel stuck in.
That’s why over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing ways to stay on track without the pressure this holiday season, including:
Setting boundaries to protect your time, energy, and health
Fully enjoying holiday treats without the guilt
Finding ways to keep moving—even with a packed schedule
Shifting from “have to” to “want to” around your health habits
And so much more.
Let’s have a happy, healthy, end to 2024!
