12. December - Healthy snack challenge🍫🥥🫐

Christmas is around the corner and ahh so many sweet temptations! There is nothing wrong with some lovely cakes and candy now and then, but too much sugar is not good for our health and wellbeing.

So we have a little challenge for you: During December, go through your sugary snacks shelf and see if you can replace some of it with with healthy snacks such as macadamia nuts, cashews, and pistachios or dark chocolate and almonds. It’s yummy, healthier and you will feel much better!

10. December - Perform an act of kindness🙏🏼

Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.”

You can perform an act of kindness almost anywhere and at anytime. You can be as creative and involved as you want — devoting days to an elaborate project, or doing good in just a few seconds.

Here are some acts of kindness I’m thinking of, but there are so many!

- Holding open a door for someone
- Letting someone with a few items cut in front of you at the grocery
- Smiling at a stranger and saying hello
- Counseling a friend
- Picking up your neighbor’s newspaper
- Calling an older, lonely person to chat
- Bringing your dog to a retirement home for folks to pet
- Helping an elderly person to her car
- Allowing a car to cut in front of you in traffic

9. December- Nutritional Challenge in December🥗

Creating lasting eating habits it’s not about calorie counting and following a strict menu, but actively creating an environment that will help you choose healthy options.

What does you environment look like? This challenges is to add one or more of this healthy eating environment actions:

1. Have a large re-usable water bottle close to you at all times.
2. Instead of having a snack table bowl with cookies or chocolate how about a bowl with almonds and walnuts?
3. Have diverse and different colourful vegetables and fruits available for snacking or cooking.
4. Keep the candy on a high cabin out of sight!
5. Print easy healthy recipes and tape then to your fridge so that you’d prefer to cook over eating out!

The key to building healthy habits is taking control and creating a healthy environment.
