Finish the Year Feeling Mentally and Physically Strong
Enjoying the holiday season doesn't mean everything "healthy" has to be put on hold. At Longevity, we believe that those holiday moments of indulging are part of life. They are here to be enjoyed without judgment. You don't need to exercise more because of them. Instead, keep to your fitness routine and stay diligent in your self-care.
Make choices that help you to feel good within the month so that you can go into 2021 on a high note. Do things like drink more water (especially after every alcoholic drink you might have); get to sleep early on the nights when nothing is going on; say "no" to something when it's the healthier choice; take the stairs instead of the elevator; pause and take a couple of conscious, deep breaths when you feel like you've had enough.
Your longevity depends on these small everyday choices and your body doesn't care if it is a New Year or not. Stay the course and feel good. Let me help you. Wishing you a very happy holiday season.
