Summary

The holidays can bring so much joy, but let's be honest, they can also bring stress. Between travel, family gatherings, endless food options, and your normal routine flying right out the window, it's easy to feel like you've lost your rhythm.

But this season doesn't have to derail your progress or your peace. It just requires a little intention. So today, I'm sharing seven simple rules that will help you stay consistent, confident, and in control, without missing out on any of the fun.

These are the exact things I remind myself of every single holiday season, and they're the same strategies I teach inside Movement with Julie and Macro Counting Made Simple.

What I Discuss:

How to navigate the holiday season without losing your rhythm or peace
Simple strategies to stay consistent and confident through the chaos
How to enjoy food and family without guilt or restriction
The mindset shift that makes progress sustainable year-round
Practical tips to balance health, happiness, and holiday fun
