As we step into this holiday season...
As we step into November, the holiday season is officially coming at us in full force. This time around, I propose we look at these next two months not as a count down to the new year, but as a count UP. This is your time to LEVEL UP your life, to REIGNITE your spark from within, starting right here, right now (because your happiness doesn’t depend on some future date). No more, I’ll wait until the holidays are over, feel icky about myself for the next 2 months, and then I'll be ready to get on board with my health & start living the life I desire. Nope. Not this time.
Because the holidays are all about FEELING GOOD. They’re about rejoicing with friends and family, gratitude, bonding over delicious food, traditions, and connecting with others - so many positive, pleasurable experiences. And if you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m all about inviting in that pleasure.
I truly believe that when we connect with what is most pleasurable to us, what makes us feel the most alive, and allow that to be our ultimate guide, there will be nothing standing in our way.
When your behaviors around taking care of your health & wellbeing are motivated by pleasure - not willpower - you are no longer taking away from the joy of the holiday season, you’re actually accentuating the pleasure.
Think about how cool that is for a second.
For years and years, I used to think that making “healthy” choices would take away from my experience of the holiday season when in reality, it’s actually the exact opposite. When I make choices that allow me to step into my healthiest, most vibrant, confident, lit-up self, I FEEL GOOD. I don’t feel sluggish, I have more energy, I want to be more social, the list goes on. And when I feel good - mind, body, soul - my holiday experience gets that much better.
One of the best parts is that I no longer associate the holidays with trying not to eat too much or wishing I had more willpower to just “restrain” myself from all of the goodies… because to me, that didn’t feel good either.
When you decide you are worthy of making the decision to step into your best health, because you want to feel good, not because you should - you begin to feel a deeply rooted connection to yourself and the world around you.
Everything around you appears more radiant than before: candles smell cozier, your sweater feels softer on your skin, your relationships blossom…
and all those twinkly lights that you see all over the city and trees… well, those are just extensions of your sparkle from within.
It’s time to shine baby. Make today the day you decide that you are worthy of nothing less than experiencing the best holiday season (and life) yet.
Because the only thing standing in the way between your dreams and your reality is choosing to believe that it’s actually possible for you and making the empowered decision to take action.
