I’ll be the first to admit I tend to overdo it at the holidays. There are so many incredible treats and foods that I have a really hard time restraining myself to small tastes of each thing. Not to mention that we are so focused on everything else that smart, healthy choices like getting enough water, enough sleep, and enough self-care go right out the window. And then we pay for it when the holidays are over and we are left feeling drained and not knowing how to get back on track.
But what if you could set up some healthy habits now that can carry through the hustle of the holidays?

In January Crystal Paine created a 15 Days to a Healthier You series and it was so popular that she’s turned it into a full length course! I remember reading her posts and picking up a few new to me easy tips that helped me make smarter choices.
From Crystal:
It has been a big passion of mine for a long time to build women up to become their best selves from the inside out. That’s why I have created my new 15-day holistic health course designed to help you prioritize your health with the strategies, support, and know-how you need to create real, lasting change –without the overwhelming time commitment!
Yes! Real, lasting change is what we need, not tasks that feel like a chore and we forget about next week.

When you sign up for 15 Days to a Healthier You, you’ll get access to:
Daily videos where I’ll be your coach and cheerleader to jumpstart your success to better health!
Daily lessons covering important topics like why self-care is important, what self-care really is (probably not what you think!), and why self-care looks different for different people.
Daily projects to help you stay on track and meet your personal goals.
Access to an exclusive members-only private Facebook groupwhere you can find encouragement from others who are going through the series.
Bonus access to all of the original 15 Days to a Healthier You video series so you can get the most from this program!
Bonus links and resources I love for additional inspiration!
The regular price for this course will be just $15 — that’s only $1 per day!! You can see all the details about the program over at the sales page.
But wait! There’s more 😀 I can’t believe this incredible sale they are offering for this course!!
* November 8th: You can get the full 15-day program for only $5 — or $0.33/day!! Sorry, folks! That deal is gone!
* November 9th: You can get the full 15-day program for only $10 — or $0.67/day!! Shucks, you missed that one too!
Let’s make some healthy choices together and be ready to take on the holidays without coming out the other side feeling exhausted or less than stellar about our choices.
I too love the thought of applying wellness choices before the holidays! (Running a series on it on my blog now, too!). Great ideas, I’ll check it out-Proactive is always better than reactive!
Thanks, Jill! And I enjoyed your post about deciding to be diligent. I’ve got your other posts marked to read!
It’s great to create these healthy patterns ahead of time. Then it’s easier to stick to, and less harmful when we fail!
Absolutely, Aryn! Thanks for stopping by 😀
This is so important – especially for teaching our children since they are just starting to form their habits! The holidays are a wonderful time, but it’s good to be proactive to not let our health go in all the festivities!
Yes! If they see us running ragged or ignoring our basic needs they are going to learn the same things. We need to teach them the good habits now – starting with keeping our priorities straight.
I’m choosing to adjust some things in my routine before the holidays too – #1 being "stop being a mombie" and go to bed for goodness sakes! So far it is helping.
Ha! I’m so guilty of the mombie life. I want to stay up to spend time with my husband but pay for it at 2pm when my eyes start glazing over. A cup or two of coffee later and I’m back to staying up late again. Such a terrible cycle.
