OP-ED: “The Holidays” are 2-3 Days, Not 2-3 Months

You’re still you. And, whether you’re traveling, hanging decorations, or baking cookies, we’re still adult humans on this spinning rock.

The exaggeration of “the holidays” has got to stop.

Travel is crazy. Great. Should you delete your lifestyle for that? You’re better than that.

While I’m remarkably biased, the psychology of being connected to, enrolled in, and a part of a program is incredibly powerful. Rockstars who go on a year-long tour are more mentally healthy when they know they have a bed in a home that is theirs than those who don’t have a home and travel the same amount of time. In the same way, quitting, pausing, or mentally detaching from your strength program for “the holidays” is completely unnecessary.

Stay connected. Eat dessert, but stay connected.
