- Healthy Holiday Habits and Tips
To ensure we’re on track for a brighter, healthier 2022 – we've put together four simple tips for you to keep in mind as we wind down and enjoy some much-deserved rest.
Keep hydrated with water
While this one may seem like a no-brainer, water at holiday functions, on holiday or even during our typical, day-to-day routines can often become forgotten amongst the holiday blur. To ensure we’re remaining hydrated, even more so when consuming alcohol, remember to drink water throughout the day and between drinks.
Practice moderation
No doubt we all look forward to holiday eating and drinking – no one says no to dessert. So, without feeling restricted and limited, practice moderation. Enjoy and savour your drinks by sipping slowly and ensure your plate is still filled with good, healthy nutrients to support your overall wellbeing that will leave you feeling better in the long-run.
Set realistic goals
Holiday goals – often something people set as we enter the new year. While new year goals are by no means a negative, remember to remain realistic. An all-or-nothing approach tends to leave us disappointed or filled with anxious thoughts when they become too much pressure to achieve. Be honest with yourself and instead set small, achievable, daily goals. Celebrate your small wins – as these become the most impactful.
Focus on family and friends
After a difficult two years, it’s important we come back to the primary reason we’re gathering in the first place – to celebrate with those we love. Keep your focus on spending quality time with your family and friends – time most of us have had taken away this year. Focus on creating memories, being present and catching up with those around us.
