Thriving Through the Holidays

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is coming up next week! And you know what that means. The Christmas season is right around the corner and I want to help you make this year different.

This year, you're going to be THAT person come Christmas time. The happy one who can enjoy the holidays all while looking good and feeling even better. Not the "average" person who survives through the holiday season on caffeine and adrenaline all while feeling stressed out, exhausted, and worried about weight gain, finances, and family drama.

THRIVING THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS

A 30 day online program designed to teach you how you can indulge in your favorite holiday treats and traditions without sacrificing your health or peace of mind. And yes, this truly is possible.

When I introduced this program last year, many people expressed concern about dieting over the holidays. So, let me set the record straight: Thriving Through the Holidays is not a diet or a detox and we don't focus on deprivation. This is a program that was designed to compliment your lifestyle and fit in easily with your holiday schedule.

What is the main focus of Thriving Through the Holidays?
1. Stabilizing your blood sugar levels with food, so that your body won't be so affected by all of the extra sugar during the holidays.
2. Eating foods that give you lasting energy so that you won't feel sluggish and exhausted all season long.
3. How to find a healthy balance between sacrificing and indulging, so that you can enjoy your favorite treats without feeling guilty.
4. Way more than just food! We will touch on stress management, sleep, alcohol, and setting healthy boundaries.
5. Weekly devotions and prayers that are designed specifically to help you keep your eyes focused on Jesus during Christmas time.

*This content retails at $400 when conducted in an individual program.

How Thriving Through the Holidays works:
**This year I am offering Thriving Through the Holidays exclusively to you, my mailing list subscribers.

Each Monday in December you will receive an email from me with healthy holiday recipes, handouts, tips, a devotion and prayer topic, and worksheets with action items. This allows you to review the content at your own pace, around your busy schedule.

The cost of the program is $49.00

"But Jesus Often Withdrew to Lonely Places and Prayed" Luke 5:16

The one thing I learned that really changed my life and my health when going through my health coaching training was the power of listening to your body. How to be present; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This was about so much for than food, but that's how it all started for me.

How do you feel after eating pizza for dinner?

How well can you concentrate when you skip breakfast?

Are you emotionally stable after eating dessert?

Once you learn to really listen, and not just assume, you will start to notice that your body really does communicate to you how different foods make you feel. But, as I said before, it is about so much more than just food.

How do you feel when you wake up early in the morning so you don't have to rush?

How do you feel when you exercise right after work instead of doing it in the morning?

How do you feel after you've spent the day with good friends?

So often we are told exactly how we are supposed to feel, or the "most healthy" way of doing things. When in reality, every person is different. One person may feel the most benefits of exercising first thing in the morning. It gives them more energy, helps them to concentrate better, and promotes healthier food decisions throughout the day. On the flip side, another person may need to exercise right after work in order to relieve stress. They find that they can't relax and enjoy being with their family at night, they aren't able to sleep because their mind is spinning, and they find themselves emotionally eating to relieve stress when they don't exercise right after work. The sad part is, a lot of people don't make these connections between what their body needs versus what they have heard is the best way of doing things.

In the end, listening to your body physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually becomes a powerful tool that God uses to bring healing.

As you may have noticed, I have been absent on the blog this past month due to being sick and feeling worn down. In the past, I would have pushed through that and kept right on blogging until I got so incredibly sick that I was forced to take a break. These days though, I have learned to listen to my body and take those breaks before hospitalization is necessary. Rest is something that did not come easy to me. But, God has taught me a lot on the subject of rest. It honors God and it honors our body (God's temple). Jesus himself rested as often as He could by withdrawing to lonely places.

The good news is that I am back to blogging and really excited about it. The weekly prayers will resume in December with some awesome content on stress relief to help you manage all the Christmas craziness. Stay tuned!
