Shelly's Shares: Holiday Health Habits That Stick
Manage episode 519969012 series 3539680
Feeling stretched by parties, travel, and longer to-do lists? We dive into a simple plan to protect your energy and joy through the holidays by focusing on three anchors you can actually keep: steady sleep, balanced nutrition, and realistic movement. With warmth and practical detail, we map out how to turn noisy advice into a few daily promises that hold up when life gets busy.
We start with the sleep foundation—why seven to nine hours matters more right now, during these holiday months, not just for your body's repair but also to help keep stress levels at bay. Then we move into nutrition you can repeat anywhere: stressing the importance of consuming high quality nutrition and getting a balance of macronutrients on a daily basis. From there, we share how to keep workouts short but consistent, to preserve strength training, and walk for stress relief.
Throughout the conversation, we keep the mindset gentle and growth-oriented. Instead of chasing perfection, we lean on micro-commitments you can honor most days, plus a helpful reframe—shift from “why is this happening to me?” to “what can I learn from this?” You’ll leave with a compact toolkit to boost immunity, stabilize mood, and keep momentum through the season so you can show up with energy for the people and traditions you love.
If you’re a mom seeking community and accountability, listen for details on our Moms Who Flourish mentorship launching in January, with limited spots and special Black Friday bonuses. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a steady plan, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find Words of Wellness.
