Ways to Give the Gift of Wellness this Holiday Season

We associate the holidays with some of the most typical “unhealthy gifts and habits.” Alcohol. Desserts. Our favorite tasty foods loaded with sugar, butter and salt. Staying up too late. Drinking more caffeine to complete more of the tasks on the holiday season to-do list.

Maybe, you’re making a lot of changes to your lifestyle, and you’re hoping for a gift that fits your lifestyle. You’ve made progress with exercising regularly, eating more fresh food, and even learning how to meditate. You’re hoping that the ones closest to you recognize that your life has…changed. Your family and friends ask you what you want for gifts during this holiday season. Your brain attempts to process this question.

“What do I want this year for the holidays that fits the new me?”

Maybe, you’re buying a last minute gift for that special someone in your life. You admire his or her lifestyle. He or she is working out at the gym everyday before work. You frequently see him or her eating a healthy meal filled with fruits and vegetables. You have conversations with him or her about dodging the bar scene and cutting out alcohol on the weekends. You’re struggling with finding the right gift when you know that the fancy bottle of liquor, homemade batch of cookies, or gift card to a fast-food chain that you had in mind just won’t work.

“What gift should I buy this person?”
