12 Days of Giving #3

I debated what to do about this post. There’s been a terrible tragedy in the world, and I don’t want to ignore that fact. But I also know we (I) need to have ordinary, everyday things to keep me busy and keep my mind off the horror.

So I’m continuing with the 12 days, and I hope somewhere in focusing on these activities you’ll find some peace.

Ready? This holiday season,

Give your body a break.

Yes, yes I did go there. Because it’s not only the season of potlucks, office parties, family dinners and too much chocolate—and yes, there is such a thing as TOO much chocolate— it’s the season of full days with all kinds of have to do NOW activities.

Maybe I’m the only one, but it seems often my exercising gets dropped off the urgent list and my healthy eating habits also get dropped. Double whammy- ick.

But it’s not possible to do it all, so find at least one thing you WILL and WON’T do this season. Like: I WILL make sure I at least get some walking in every day. If that means parking at the far end of the shopping mall, hey, at least you’ve added a few steps to the day. Or how about: I WON’T have more than one treat per day.

Going cold turkey isn’t the idea. Have some fun, but come post-holidays, I know I’m always happier if I’ve not thrown my hands in the air and simply gone hog wild.

You have any specific WILL and WON’T you want to share? Leave a comment and make a commitment! I’ve got a pretty travel mug with a deer on it, plus some lovely swag to go with it, as a gift for one commenter today.
