What do you look forward to most over the holidays? I look forward most to spending time with friends and family, but a close second during the holidays is the enjoyment of a great meal and celebrating the end of another year.
I’m sure everyone has a good reason to celebrate, beyond the valid reason that 2020 is going to be over soon. During the holidays, the tendency to overindulge is natural and rational, given the goodwill and sense of accomplishment that come with each holiday season. However, that indulgence often leads to ill-fated New Years’ resolutions – to avoid forcing yourself into yet another New Year’s resolution where you declare this is the year you do something active every day of the week, it is important to stay mindful during the holiday season. Make your decisions based on what you are comfortable with and based on what you believe is the best decision for you, rather than simply eating or drinking because you can or feel like you have to during the holiday season.
I hope everyone enjoys this year’s holidays and is ready for a successful and healthy 2021.
