3 simple shifts to help you ditch the ‘all-or-nothing’ mentality over the holidays
Leaving flexibility in your health routine to enjoy holiday indulgences prevents them from creating feelings of shame or guilt.There’s often an “all-or-nothing” mindset that comes with establishing a health and fitness routine. Many people think that to live a healthier lifestyle they have to jump in with both feet and completely eliminate unhealthy habits. In reality, this is pretty unsustainable.
and we are surrounded by temptations. If you typically throw healthy habits out the window completely, vowing to pick them back up in January, it’s a good sign that you fall victim to this “all-or-nothing” mentality. I’ve created a three-step plan to help you ditch this attitude and shift your mindset. These tips will help you develop a much more sustainable approach to making your health a priority, especially during the holidays.Living an “all work no play” lifestyle leads to burnout. While it’s important to prioritize your physical health, it’s also important to do what makes you happy.
If that means focusing more on your physical workouts and less on your diet one week, that’s okay. Other weeks, the opposite might work. Having one strict plan that you follow every single day can actually be a roadblock to your goals, because once you get off track, the urge to quit is strong. I was working with one of my weight-loss clients on her emotional eating. We simply focused on adding in healthy foods, like proteins, fruits and vegetables, and she noticed that the emotional eating subsided. Imagine how she would have felt if instead, we set a rule that she could not have any comfort food at all? The deprivation would almost certainly lead her to binge and then feel guilty.
