Every year around this time, we all make sure that our plates are overflowing with turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing. And while these traditional Thanksgiving foods are delicious and healthy in their own way, it’s important to remember that you don’t have to overindulge if you don’t want to – as long as you avoid the worst foods on the holiday table. Luckily, there are plenty of delicious yet healthier alternatives to many of your favorite Thanksgiving foods, from turkey to mashed potatoes to stuffing, you can fill up without feeling stuffed and bloated afterwards no matter how much you eat!
The importance of taking time for yourself
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the frenzy of the holiday season and forget about taking care of yourself. This can be especially true during Thanksgiving, when you’re cooking for your family or hosting friends for dinner. Remember that it’s important to take some time for yourself so you can recharge and stay healthy. Here are just a few ideas for things you can do this Thanksgiving:
– Have a talk with your loved ones about your expectations for the holidays so they know what your boundaries are.
– Eat smaller portions of the food you make and serve. You don’t have to eat everything!
– Take a walk outside instead of sitting all day watching TV or playing video games. Your brain will thank you for it!
– Get into bed early tonight so tomorrow morning you feel refreshed!
Tips for reflecting on your wellness
In today’s society, it seems like many people’s idea of wellness means eating healthy and exercising. And while that’s great and all, there are other aspects of wellness that are overlooked more often than not. Make this Thanksgiving a time to reflect on your mental well-being. Are you happy? Do you have any regrets? What do you want for yourself in the future? If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, talk to someone about it! It’s always better to reach out then stay silent. You deserve happiness and life is too short not to enjoy it.
Why Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reflect on your wellness

This year has been tough, but it’s important to stop every once in a while to acknowledge how grateful we are for our health. The holidays are the perfect time to do that since they remind us that there is more to life than work and work-related stress. So think about what makes you feel good during these holidays: whether it be spending time with loved ones or going on walks outside, try and focus on those things as often as possible.
