"Love yourself enough to live a healthy lifestyle."
– Jules Robson
Living a healthy lifestyle is a personal choice we all make daily through various actions, beliefs, and behaviors customarily practiced. When we love ourselves and value life, we prioritize positive habits and understand how pivotal good health is to live a high-quality life. The combination of a positive self-image and a desire to take care of our health, fitness, and wellness naturally go hand in hand.
The past two years have posed unprecedented challenges for many of us, changing our regular daily habits, which may have altered our exercise routines, social connections, and eating behaviors. These new and unfamiliar life changes may have presented positive and negative outcomes as we attempt to re-establish our "new normal."
This holiday, you can become the support for someone in need of a re-boot due to a covid funk. You don't need to spend a ton of money, order an item online only to experience delivery delays, or sit for hours trying to think of the "perfect" gift.
Try something new this holiday season and give the gift of your time and attention to help someone you love to get back on track and into a healthy habit lifestyle rhythm.
Here are a few simple and easy lifestyle gift ideas to help stir up those creative juices:

Give a handmade coupon to help a loved one with home chores, clear an area of clutter, or anything else someone you love may need a bit of help with currently.
For many of us, myself included, it's difficult to ask for help at times, even when we know we need it. If you witness someone in your circle, who could use a little service, give them a handmade gift card. In this month's newsletter, we supply free DIY Gift Card in the activity download!
Give handmade family photo ornaments.
Brighten someone's day with visual reminders of family photos. In last month's post, we shared tips on bringing more positivity into your environment, and one suggestion was family photos capturing special moments that bring us joy. Bring more joy into someone's environment this holiday season with photos reminders of how much they are loved.
Take the kids to choose a gift for a child in need.
Every year while my son was growing up, we went to the mall and stopped at the Salvation Army Angel Tree to choose a request card and purchase a gift for a child in need. For my son and me, this was a great way to practice kindness and compassion while receiving those happy hormones you get from giving to others.
The global pandemic, which continues to this day, forced many to lose their jobs, experience food insecurity, and be unable to provide gifts for their children this holiday season. There is no better time than now to help those in need and begin a family tradition of service to others.
Teach your children the priceless life skill of helping those in need through the simple choice to participate in the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Project. You can gift a child or seniors with requested needs this holiday season.
The ideas listed above only break the surface of the many ways you could help someone in need of some support this holiday. Give those you love, a neighbor in need, or a stranger you've never met who could use some help right now the precious gift of your time, attention, and kindness.
