Can you believe Thanksgiving is over? Where in the world has 2018 gone!? It's already time to start getting ready for Christmas & New Years. The season that is all about gratitude, happiness, and giving is in full force, however, I feel that is not always case. It seems that more often than not we are more stressed out finally, physically, and emotionally during this time of year. We put an unnecessarily large amount of demand on ourselves to decorate, buy the best gifts, go to all the holiday parties looking and feeling the best, and cooking the best holiday meals. Sometimes, that's just not realistic! We need to stop comparing ourselves to the Hallmark & Netflix original holiday movies; perfect family, perfect house, perfect love, perfect everything - real life is NOT like that...that's the fun of those movies!
If you're anything like me you do not have a Monday-Friday 9-5 job and you more than likely work at least 1/2 of the holidays every year. So now not only are you stressed about getting everything ready, you're stressed about fitting in to your already tight schedule. Then what? We fall apart and find reasons why we don't have time for ourselves. We are on the go 24/7, we turn to fast food because it's on the fly, we forget to hydrate, sleep is minimal, and naturally our workout goes out the window! So many people turn to the "I'll just make it my New Years Resolution" to figure out a better routine when life isn't as hectic.
Honestly, life doesn't always slow down after the New Year. It's just another excuse we say to ourselves when we aren't making the best of choices... and I know I'm guilty for falling into the trap and not changing my habits even after the New Year. Meaning during the holidays we need to stick together for accountability more than ever! We need to find a way to stay on track, share healthy alternatives to holiday favorites, help each other survive the break room treats, and managing working/studying through the holidays. A way to keep each other from getting overly stressed, turning to the wrong things, and have a support system of women who understand the craziness that is being a nurse during the holidays. It is time to make you a priority! You deserve it!
It is not selfish to put yourself first for 30 minutes per day. Â I'm going to say it again a little louder for those in the back, it is not selfish to put yourself first for 30 minutes per day. It is not selfish to politely decline the treats in the break room. It is not selfish to plan your meals or to eat healthy. It is not selfish to make choices that help your health and wellness.
What IS Selfish: Is not taking care of your body & mind and doing the first thing we learned in school; preventative health/health promotion. Not taking care of yourself can lead to health issues and how fair is that to your family, friends, your future children, your patients, and yourself!
It is time to take charge of YOUR preventative health! Control the controllable!
The Holiday Survival Guide is NOT about giving up everything that you enjoy to eat or love over the holiday season. It is SO not about being perfect. It is about enjoying what you love, finding time even with work, even with school, and passing on the things that don't make you happy. It is about finding time for YOU every day and helping your mindset by fueling yourself with positivity.
