Thanksgiving is on the rise. With the Fall season in full swing, and my favorite holiday out of the way, it’s time to make room for the second day out of the entire year that I look to the most simply because of the food. That’s right folks, it’s time to make room for Thanksgiving!
Man, oh man I love me some Thanksgiving dinner! The mashed potatoes, cornbread (my favorite!), green beans, greens made with jalapeno peppers, mac and cheese, and of course the Turkey (Cajun flavor). My mouth is watering already.
Thanksgiving is usually the holiday where we all give ourselves a pass on eating healthy or at least being health conscious about what we are putting into our bodies. I don’t know about you, but it most certainly is the one holiday where I allow myself to slack off on working out! It’s not because I get lazy or anything like that, but mainly because I want to enjoy the holiday. Which means I want to enjoy the delicious food.
If this sounds anything like you then don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. You don’t have to let this Thanksgiving be the year that you repeat the cycle, or start to create the cycle of pressing pause on all your health and wellness goals for the rest of the year. Yes, we all want to enjoy the holiday without the stress or pressure of putting our health and wellness goals first, and the amazing thing about this process is that we can! We can still enjoy everything Thanksgiving has to offer and so much more, while staying on top of our health and wellness. [Read more…]
Hands up if you’re beyond excited that Halloween is just days away!!!!
Hands up if you tend to lose sight of all your health and wellness goals when Halloween finally comes around.
Self-care is so important! If you’re new to the blog then this is the first thing you should know about me. I place a high value on self-care simply because it has many positive health benefits. In addition to having many positive health benefits, self-care is by far one of the easiest ways we can actually take care of ourselves. While it does require time and effort, it also always revolves around something that you enjoy doing. So instead of feeling like you’re setting aside an hour of free time to do “work” or get “physically active for your health”, it often times feels as though you’re setting aside an hour of free time for personal use.
Feeling overwhelmed? Are you taking on more responsibility than what may be needed? Maybe you’re piling your plate up with more than what you can handle?
