Ok, I found myself needing a pep talk now that December has arrived so I decided to turn on the microphone and record the pep talk I give myself when I start to feel overwhelmed.

Here are my 10 strategies to thrive this season:

  1. Drink more water
  2. Find protein sources
  3. Move my body and get outside
  4. Choose the fun wisely
  5. Say no without guilt
  6. Lower my expectations
  7. Get rid of clutter
  8. Be quiet. Breathe
  9. Turn off my phone more
  10. Sleep. Don't forget how much better I feel when I sleep enough!
