This holiday season, it’s okay to let some things go 💛
Perfection. Pressure. People-pleasing. Guilt.
You deserve rest, joy, and boundaries too.

Take a moment to check in with yourself and ask: what can I release to make space for peace?

💡 Watch for symptoms like

• Coughing
• Fever
• Wheezing or trouble breathing

🛑 Stay home if you’re sick, wash your hands often, and cover coughs and sneezes. Small steps make a big difference.

🍞 Let’s talk about carbohydrates 💪
Carbs give your body energy and help fuel your brain and muscles. They are an important part of a balanced diet.

There are two types:
✨ Simple carbohydrates
🍬 Quick energy but can cause fast blood sugar spikes

✨ Complex carbohydrates
🌾 Longer lasting energy and more fiber to keep you full and focused

Both play a role in your health, and it is all about balance and choosing what makes your body feel good.
