Before you make weight loss your next goal, ask yourself these questions.

On Sunday morning I woke up feeling a deep sadness--missing the studio, missing home, missing our community. I turned to Oscar and told him what day it was. “It’s the one year anniversary of shutting the studio down.”

Every year I post a holiday survival guide for clients. I usually include tips on how to find balance between parties, how to get tipsy without overdoing the sugar, and how to reduce the usual stress brought on by the holidays. This year is obviously a bit different. With time off and away from loved ones, it’s easy to be reminded of what we’re missing. Below you’ll find some tips that will help you create some sort of balance between the mental, physical, and emotional.

Some of you may even be juggling a lot more responsibilities than before such as homeschooling or caregiving. We live in a society that praises productivity and speed. Slowing down is not an option in the rat race. Let’s be real. Our lifestyles were already barely sustainable. How are we supposed to maintain those societal standards of success in a pandemic? The answer? We don’t. The solution? Slow down.
