Ah, the holidays—time for treats, merriment, and… planning to get “back on track” come January 1st, right? But hear me out: what if you didn’t wait for the New Year to start building those healthy habits? Instead of hitting pause on your goals, try a small start now to make that transition come January so much easier. No need to go all-in right away—think of this as gathering the resources you need to avoid “International Quitters’ Day” (the second Friday in January) and stay in the game.
Step 1: Balance Your Plate, Feast Like a Pro
Imagine the holiday food spread as your loot chest: you can grab a little of everything without wiping out your health bar. A solid strategy? Start with some protein and veggies, then pick out the treats that really call your name. You’ll feel satisfied and still get to enjoy the good stuff. For a sneaky health boost, try ingredient swaps like Greek yogurt in dips or almond flour in baked goods. The best Greek yogurt, in my humble opinion, is Krema. Adding a scoop of Organic Greens Booster to your meals is another way to keep things balanced while still savoring holiday flavors.
Step 2: Fortify Your Energy Bar
The holiday hustle is no joke—between shopping marathons and late-night gatherings, it’s easy to feel drained. Hydrate like it’s a mana potion, and keep some energizing snacks on hand. Energizing Tea (a staple in this house. Pomegranate and peach are our favourites). and Vitalizer™ packs are like little power-ups to keep you steady through all your holiday quests. Getting into the habit of small daily boosts now will make January’s resolutions feel like leveling up instead of starting from scratch.
Step 3: Stay Merry, Stress Less
The holidays bring joy, but they can also bring stress. Even just five minutes a day of walking, deep breathing, or stretching can help you recharge your mental HP. And for those extra-busy days, consider Stress Relief Complex—a natural calm in a bottle to keep you focused and present with family and friends. Starting these habits now will make your transition to the new year feel seamless.
So, here’s your quest should you choose to accepts it: treat this season as your pre-resolution training ground. Keep it simple, build what you can, and January 1st won’t feel like a New Year’s grind.
You’re leveling up already—now go enjoy that holiday magic, balanced and ready!
