How Super-Moms Reduce The Holiday Stress
Holiday stress is the mother of all stresses because if you don't quite feel like super-mom yet in a normal month, you're about to find out why Santa needs elves. There is a secret to getting it all done, happily, and it actually starts with taking care of YOU first.
We all know how good it feels in the morning to craft a list and check off the boxes as the day goes by, don't we? What if I told you that pretty much ALL super-moms have one thing in common that they're not telling you? Their secret to combating the stress associated with life and especially around the holidays - THEY are on that to-do list every day.
You know that exercise is good for you, but you're too busy and stressed to fit it into your routine! Exercise should be part of your stress-management plan. After a walk/jog or swimming laps in a pool, can't you agree that you forgot about life's irritations that were bothering you before you started? Being active can distract us from our daily worries and simultaneously boost our feel-good chemicals, endorphins, helping that feeling to last longer throughout our day. Now committing to some kind of healthy routine during the holiday season is not only a good idea, it can make November and December so much more enjoyable - because you have a better chance of being in a good mood.
Our Holiday Survival Challenge is designed to give you daily, simple check-ins that pertain to your health and happiness. It is made up of a group of other women who are also committed to working out, following a meal plan that they pick out, and focusing on all of the positives in life. It's a tool that we use every year to make sure we are taken care of - so that the show can go on for our children and families who are expecting miracles in the form of presents, décor, meals, train rides and parties.
Who our Holiday Survival Challenge is NOT for:
Someone who looks at exercise and eating healthy as a type of punishment or counter-balance for enjoying treats.
