Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Consider the words from Hebrews 12:1: “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
The holiday season is a marathon, not a sprint. You need stamina—and that comes from wise daily habits.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Establish wise daily habits!
Think of these wise daily habits as ways to make your day easier without having to overthink what needs to be done to be healthy this holiday season.
Here’s your holiday wellness toolkit:
- Nourish with balance. Enjoy holiday treats guilt-free, but balance them with whole foods, lean protein, and plenty of veggies to stabilize energy and mood.
- Hydrate intentionally. Drinking water often gets forgotten amidst hot cocoa and festive drinks. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day to fight fatigue and support digestion.
- Move mindfully. You don’t need a full workout. Fifteen minutes of walking, stretching, or dancing to holiday tunes can reset your energy and mood.
- Prioritize sleep. Sleep often takes the biggest hit during this season. Commit to winding down 30 minutes earlier and create a restful atmosphere to boost recovery.
Make you swap one night of Netflix bingeing for a daily walk after dinner. This is a time to reconnect and recharge, lightening the mood and improving your and everyone’s energy for evening festivities.
This week, pick 1-2 of these habits to incorporate. Small steps build momentum and protect you, so you can fully enjoy the moments that matter most.
Train for life, love your journey!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
