• Do a friend or family member a favor
• Donate items you no longer use
• Make yourself healthy treats so you won’t feel deprived and can pass on the sugar-laden junk foods
• Give yourself the gift of time—carve out time to get a massage, soak in the tub, relax,…
• Set goals for developing the characteristics you most admire in others (e.g., patient, caring, appreciative, thoughtful, perceptive, etc.)

• Get outside!
• Stop eating when you’re full
• Choose organic ingredients for all your favorite holiday recipes
• Take enzymes or herbal bitters before meals, and with you to parties, to support healthy digestion and absorption
• Substitute vegetables in recipes whenever possible, i.e. zucchini for noodles
• Start a gratitude tree and write down one thing you are thankful for each day #gratefulthoughts
• Give your time instead of gifts. Sign-up to volunteer at your local homeless shelter or community meal
• It’s okay to say no – even if it is your grandma’s extra special German chocolate cake made just for you!
• Holiday travelers: pack healthy snacks to keep fueled and full and away from fast food (or: out of the drive thru)
• Not drinking alcohol but still want a fun and tasty beverage? Try a festive mocktail
