Thriving through the Holidays: SELF CARE

Heading into the home stretch of these Holidays (and every day!) remember to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! Do something nice for yourself. 💅🧖‍♀️💆

What is that “thing” that you always say you would love to do if you just had the time?
*Read a book...
*Give yourself a spa day at home...
*Go for a run...
*Cook your favorite (healthy) meal...
*Start working out...

Whatever it is, gift yourself this holiday season and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

What are you waiting for?! What are you going to make time for in order to CELEBRATE AND APPRECIATE YOURSELF?!

“Take a break and chill because this is the time of the year to rejoice, celebrate and also feel rewarded.” - Anonymous

Thriving Through the Holidays: AVOIDING HOLIDAY BLUES

You have heard your coaches at TFW talk about how regular exercise can increase self-confidence 🦸‍♂️, improve your mood 😃, help you relax 💆‍♀️, and lower ⬇️ symptoms of mild depression.

During this stressful time of year it is SO important that you are getting in your workouts in the dojo. 🏋️

Be on the lookout for the holiday blues 😩
There are a number of reasons people become more depressed during the holiday season. We experience an increase ⬆️ in stressors during this time which challenges our resources 🧠💲☮️⌚️ Sometimes our resources are not able to handle the extra stressors that are accumulating and this leads to an escalation in the intensity of the stressors.

Remember self-care, stay organized 📋, prioritize and don’t overcommit, use your planner 📒, keep to a schedule 📅, get in your exercise 🏃‍♀️🏋️, find your support system, and reduce the amount of time you spend with people who bring you down ☹️⬇️

Thriving Through the Holidays: TIME BOUNDARIES

Keeping with the theme of boundaries, let’s talk about setting boundaries with your time. ⌚️

As Warriors we often like to think we can do it all, and we don’t like to say no to others. 🦸‍♂️ We have to remember we are not superhumans. 🦸‍♀️ So listen to your body, listen to your needs and wants, and DON’T overschedule yourself! 📅

1 - Ask for help if you are feeling overwhelmed and having trouble getting done what needs to be done.

2 - Prioritize the events you desire to attend and don’t overcommit.

3 - When the holidays are filled with so many events, save your energy for those that are most important to you.

4 - Look at everything you have to do and rank them in order of importance.

5 - Plan for the most important and skip the rest. 🥇

Spend some time today making a list of all your upcoming commitments. What is non-negotiable? What are you most looking forward to? Which ones would you rather not attend? Make yourself a realistic schedule that you can stick to!

“A holiday is an opportunity to journey within. It is also a chance to chill, to relax. It is when I switch on my rest mode.” – Prabhas

What do these 5 AMAZING women have in common?!
They're ALL 60 years old or older! AND they all workout here at TFW South Erie and Erie Fitness Academy!

Studies have shown that strength and metabolic training have an extensive number of physical and mental health benefits for ALL ages; however, we all know that as we age we run into a few more challenges. So here is a quick list of benefits derived from continuing (or starting!) to workout after 60.

* Maintain bone density 🦴
* Lower blood pressure, resting heart rate, & blood glucose ❤️
* Improve/Maintain balance & coordination, reducing the risk of falls🤸‍♀️🤹‍♂️
* Improves the ability to perform daily tasks safely & easily 👨‍🌾👩‍💻👩‍🔬
* Improves mental health & helps to maintain social connections 🧠

Those are just a few of the many benefits to maintaining a regular exercise routine which includes strength training! If you want more information, or would like to join our program; stop in and check us out!

Thriving Through the Holidays: FINANCIAL BOUNDARIES

At TFW you have learned about doing things in moderation. Let's focus on SPENDING in moderation 💰

Two words to live by this holiday season - DON'T OVERSPEND. 💸

If you are struggling financially this year, don’t burden yourself with the pressures of spending money you don’t have in order to give gifts to others. 🎁

So many people feel uncertain about their jobs and their future financial status, now is not the time to add more burden to those stressors. Instead - Give the gift of your TIME or CREATIVITY. Make low cost presents or provide someone special with an experience they will always remember. Provide gift certificates for babysitting, snow shoveling, cooking a home cooked meal, etc. Make a budget and stick to it!

No, seriously….go ahead and make that budget NOW 💵. Put it in your phone or in your wallet so you have it when you are shopping and don’t forget to LOOK AT IT and STICK TO IT!!

Get creative with low cost ways to honor that special person while keeping your budget in check and not causing yourself additional undue stress. 😖😵

YOU CANNOT SHOW LOVE WITH A PRICE TAG 💲. You have to be comfortable with your spending and know that it is what is best for YOU!

“There’s something about a holiday that isn’t all about how much money you spend.” – Hilarie Burton

“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” – Mother Theresa
