Holiday Balance

Feeling a little sluggish  & blah after the  Thanksgiving Food Fest? It's natural for everyone to indulge around this time, but punishing yourself mentally or physically isn't necessary. Instead, spend your energy being mindful of balancing out all of the "extras." One of the most important parts of attaining true healthy living and happiness is balance. Did you overload on too many holiday sweets one day? Skip the sugar and give yourself extra veggies the next. It's a simple as that!


If you know you are going to enjoy some of your favorite seasonal treats (your great-aunt's special cookies,  MY double layer pumpkin pie), schedule in a little extra physical activity to balance it all out. Sometimes the last thing you have time for during the month of December is going to the gym. So try some fun exercise with friends or family like ice skating, a walking tour of holiday lights, or dancing in your living room to holiday tunes, family walks around the neighborhood.  These are some great way to keep your digestive system flowing and keep some harmony. 
 
Happy Holidays!  Be Blessed!!
