When the holidays feel chaotic, pick one small daily habit like a 15-minute walk or 7-minute workout. Doing it consistently gives your brain a concrete sense of control, which cuts anxiety and self-doubt.
Christmas is one of those times that we just feel a little out of control of our choices, and all sorts of things can happen—anything from food anxiety and stress to self-doubt and falling off the wagon. So one big tip from me: keep just one habit going right now. That can be a 15-minute walk every day or a 7-minute exercise video, anything that makes you feel good. That's all you'll need for your brain to feel that it's in control and not go AWOL. Anxiety and stress makes us feel like we're out of control, but you can do simple things to stop that happening, I promise you.
