This is an extract from my Christmas survival ebook – Fertilise Your Christmas (read more here).  Here’s to surviving the silly season and making it through with your wellness in tact!

PLAN. Have your go-to snacks and treats and where

possible offer to bring a plate (you have many appropriate

recipes now!). You won’t end up eating something that you’ll

later regret.

TAKE TIME. You don’t have to go to every single party, every

single ‘catch up’ or join in the craziness of hoards of people

at the shops. If you don’t manage to see your friends before

Christmas, chances are they’ll still look the same post

Christmas.

AVOID HANGOVER GUILTS. Know you might have a few

drinks? Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Coconut water is full of

electrolytes and helps to keep your body well nourished, ward

off any head or body aches and will put a zing back in your

step. Keep a bottle handy in your bag; take a good drink

before bed and also upon rising.

NOURISH. Eat for wellness. If it doesn’t serve you, you

probably don’t have to eat it. Remember, if it isn’t a

wholefood, it isn’t really food!

SLEEP. It’s pretty simple. It’s the elixir of wellness. 8 hours is

a minimum.

ENJOY. Above all, make the most of the time off, the chance

to take the pace down a notch come Christmas day and have

your health at the forefront of each and every moment.
