WOW! Less than a week until the big celebration and holiday. Where has December gone?
I hope you’re enjoying all that this season has to offer.
As it’s my first year in 3 years celebrating Christmas at home, I’m enjoying all the things – the family, the twinkle lights, the cozy nights by the fire as the rain falls….. AND the cookies.
Yup, you heard me right.
Cookies.
I mean, what is Christmas without the baking right?
It’s something we’ve all learned from childhood. To associate the joy and fun of the holidays with the act of baking.
And I still feel that pull too.
But over the past 4 years, I’ve changed what the holidays mean to me.
Baking is no longer the main event. It’s the side attraction.
And with this, I’m able to ENJOY those baked goods 100% more while eating 75% less than I used to.
THIS is Sugar Freedom! (See below for an exciting announcement!)
So that’s what I wanted to share with you today.
A few tips on how you can actually ENJOY the indulgences this holiday without going down the guilt and shame rabbit hole. (Watch my recent video here!)
- Be a part of the decision to indulge. CHOOSE to eat that cookie, instead of doing it mindlessly. Being in control in this way is such a beautiful act of freedom and choice that over time will let the guilt slip away.
- Be PRESENT with your sweet indulgence. Don’t eat on the go or in a rush. Sit down and chew slowly. Enjoy it as slowly as possible.
- Take 3 deep breaths (or walk) before reaching for a second cookie. Often times this little pause will help you steer clear of over doing it (which is often the cause of the guilt).
- Look after yourself in all the other ways to help with the increased sugar consumption (hydrate, lots of vegetables, move your body every day, get lots of sleep…)
- Plan ahead for those indulgences and stick with your goal. I love setting my intention BEFORE going to a party (Ie. I’m excited to enjoy 4 cookies and 2 glasses of wine…).
Ok… so for this exciting announcement I promised above 😉
