The upcoming holiday season can seem overwhelming in many ways. I like the idea of working to find balance in your own life before the start of the main holiday busy-ness. A 30-day challenge with the focus on your fitness and/or nutrition can be a good way to increase your energy level and feel good about yourself when December begins.

Get YOURSELF Ready for the Holidays

30-Day Nutrition and Fitness Challenges

{Updated for 2016}

Even if you’re already very busy, you can improve your nutrition and/or fitness easily by following the 30-Day Nutrition Challenge and/or 30-Day Exercise-a-Day Challenge from Fit Body Full Life. In 2014, I did the 30-Day Nutrition Challenge where I set my own goal, which was to include fruits and/or vegetables in at least 4 meals/snacks each day. I successfully accomplished that and became much more focused on eating a healthy amount of fruits and vegetables each day.

For this 30-day challenge, I plan to drink organic vegetable juice one or more times each day to add more micro-nutrients into my diet. Even on Thanksgiving Day, that’s something I can do to improve my nutrition while still enjoying the holiday.

The 30-Day Exercise-a-Day Challenge just involved doing an exercise to a video, which was typically 2 minutes each day. That was easy to accomplish, and I learned some new exercises and became more focused on interval training and exercising for short amounts of time each day.

Since I did my first 30-Day Exercise-a-Day Challenge, I’ve been doing Christina’s dance workouts. I’m planning to do my 30-day challenge with at least one dance workout each day. On November 2, I’ll get lots of exercise when I participate as part of the Fabulous Chitwood Ladies Team in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure!

30 Days of Beautiful Nails Challenge

Christina has a 30 Days of Beautiful Nails Challenge on Christina Chitwood Performance. If you’d like to have beautiful nails for the holidays (or any time), be sure to check out Christina’s 30-day series.

30-Day Challenges

I’ve been enjoying doing 30-day challenges off and on for over 3 years now. A 30-day challenge is my favorite way to start a new, positive habit. You can read more about 30-day challenges in my 30-Day Challenge category.

Tips for Feeling Holiday Joy

When you do want to think about December holidays, you’ll find some ideas here for keeping the season in perspective: Spreading Christmas Cheer This Holiday Season. My category of Christmas posts is focused on feeling joy rather than stress. I hope you find some ideas that work for you.

Are you planning a 30-day challenge before the holidays?

Note: I have lots of word-art inspiration at the Bits of Positivity Facebook page and on Pinterest!

    Good luck with your challenges! Feeling healthy is nice (and what really matters, is to be fresh in the eyes of God).
