"You can make holiday wellness work for you by staying flexible with your regimen, weaving movement into family traditions, and going easy on yourself-especially while traveling."
""We expect to have time off and be our 'best selves' when we step back from work and have all the space to create healthy routines," she says."
""We set ourselves up for failure thinking we'll be swimming in time that is actually usurped with all our other holiday activities-ones we love and the ones we loathe.""
""During the holidays and always, don't think of one meal, day, or season away from healthy habits means failure," she says."
Holiday schedules and obligations often disrupt healthy routines, so maintaining wellness requires realistic expectations and self-compassion. Lowering expectations reduces pressure and frees time for connection, flexibility, and small health-supporting actions. Accept occasional indulgences without labeling a single meal, day, or season as failure. Weave movement into family traditions and prioritize gentle activity over rigid gym sessions. Plan travel with kindness to personal needs and choose manageable habits that fit holiday rhythms. Focus on connection, fun, and small consistent practices to sustain long-term well-being through the busy season.
