If Christmas is a "feeling" which one is it to you?
YES - Christmas can be a wonderful time of year full of joy, festivities, singing cheesy songs, good food and better company.
However...
Christmas can also be a time of dark days and nights, cold weather, financial pressure, stress and guilt.
I imagine most would, when considering my opening question, say Christmas is a whole array of feelings and that is okay.
Let me repeat - THAT IS OKAY!
A surprising majority of men and women report some negative feeling toward Christmas wether that is stress, loneliness or something else.
If you feel down around the Christmas Season you are not alone!
What can be done?
👉🏼 Don't forget to take care of yourself by reminding yourself you are only human and what you feel is normal.
👉🏼 Exercise frequently - you may not break PRs each session or instantly achieve your goals in one workout but you will instantly receive mood boosting chemicals in each time you exercise.
👉🏼 Understand that making yourself guilty at Christmas for eating all the enjoyable Christmas food. Isn’t what you should be doing, enjoying food with friends and loved one creating memories is worth it. Your life and health goals won’t be completely thrown off track for enjoying Christmas so don’t gift yourself guild for Christmas this year
