Thanksgiving was the kick off to the festive holiday season, which can be fun and celebratory, but also stressful and overwhelming at the same time. We are often surrounded by our loved ones as well as some of our favorite foods we only get once a year, leading to temptations and ultimately indulging.
Many cravings or the intense focus on food isn’t really about the food itself. It can often be a result of internal conflict. However, when you can get clear about what you’re anticipating as the holidays approach and what you want out of them, the holidays can be managed differently than in years past. For the next couple weeks, I’ll be releasing a new video each day to discuss different reasons our willpower has a tendency to dwindle during the holidays and what you can do about it. The first video will present the roadblock we experience and the one the next day will provide some solutions, tips and strategies you can use.
In this video I discuss what happens when we feel uncomfortable at parties and holiday gatherings.
