What’s meant to be a season of gathering, thankfulness, and giving, often results in stress and sometimes, straying away from the fitness goals we’ve worked hard to achieve all year long. We’ve put together this list of tips and tricks to help keep you on track this holiday season and to set yourself up for success in 2020.
Traveling? Regiment Your Routes.
Nothing can throw you off track like going out of town. Simply forgetting the right socks can keep you from sticking to the workout routine you hold yourself to at home. If you’re traveling this season, you probably already know where you’re staying. Plan out some running (or walking) routes for yourself. *Bonus* this may give you some extra quality family time, or the little break you need after a long day of cooking and mingling with your in-laws.
Hello Trial Classes!
This is another awesome travel hack. Ask your local friends and family members about popular gyms or studios in their area. Odds are, you’ll get an awesome deal for your first class AND maybe you’ll find a new workout class you absolutely love.
Keep Family Close, but CBD Closer
Whether you’re hosting, have some last-minute shopping to knock out, or are adjusting to a time change, Resilience CBD will be your best friend this holiday season. CBD works with your Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to promote balance throughout your body. Your ECS helps to regulate mood, anxiety/stress levels, and sleeping patterns. You’ll finish out the year feeling more refreshed than ever before.
Get Smart With Your Wishlist
This is a super effective, (yet sometimes painful) tip. You know that same voice that says ‘I’m getting up at 5:00 AM to hit the gym' even though you may actually snooze until 6? Well, channel that same optimistic thinking when sending wishlist items to your family. Maybe instead of that fancy candle, opt-in for new dumbbells or even some fun new workout clothes. This way, you’ll hold your future-self accountable and have a whole new wave of motivation when you receive them!
Holiday Food Musts
Pecan pie, eggnog, gravy, candy cane bark ...we know, it’s tempting. But fear not, we have a couple of survival tips to keep you from going overboard.
Tip #1: Resilience CBD Recipes. They come out with awesome, healthy seasonal recipes. Oftentimes, they’ll take a traditional dish we all know and love, and put their own healthy spin on it.
Tip #2: If you’re going to apotluck (or hosting one) you’re in luck. Why? Because you can bring whateveryou want! Even if you’re in charge of the mashed potatoes, you can always bringa side of green beans to ensure that you have a healthy side option.
Tip #3: Listen to your belly! How many times does that cookie stare you in the eyes and say, “EAT ME”, even though you are totally content? With all the holiday get-togethers about to take place, try to exude some self-control and pass on that beautiful platter of gingerbread cookies (...or maybe split one with a friend).
