Let’s reframe something right now … Christmas is not a reason to fall apart, flop on the couch, or talk yourself out of taking care of YOU.
Every year, the “hoo-ha” of Christmas tries to psych us out.
We start thinking about gifts, the tree, feeding the army, what to cook, who’s coming, what to wear, what needs cleaning, BLAH BLAH BLAH!!…and before we’ve even done anything, we’re exhausted in our heads.
Then comes the story:
“I’ve got no time for exercise.”
“I’ll just get through Christmas first.”
“I’m too busy.”
NO!!
Not true.
Not helpful.
And Not the mindset of a strong, smart woman who values her strength and health.
This is EXACTLY the time you need to be more focused than ever on your wellbeing — so you hit Christmas feeling strong, energised, happy, and proud…NOT tired, frazzled, and grizzling your way through December.
Christmas doesn’t get easier if you stop training — it gets harder.
Movement clears your mind
Strength reduces stress.
Consistency keeps you steady.
And showing up for yourself is the BEST gift you can give your family.
So instead of talking yourself OUT of it…Talk yourself INTO it. You can’t put your health on hold for a holiday season.
Everyday counts. Every session and rep counts. YOU count.
This year, choose a different script:
“I get my Christmas buzz from feeling strong.”
“My workouts make everything easier.”
“I’m finishing the year proud, not panicked.”
Because honestly — stop being a pain in your own butt!
Don’t spread the stressed-out energy
Spread the JOY
Be the woman who walks into Christmas calm, fit, glowing and ready to jingle and mingle
TOP TIPS FOR THE BEST LEAD-UP TO CHRISTMAS EVER:
Schedule your workouts like appointments — non-negotiable.
Your training time is YOUR sanity time.
Shorten sessions if you must — but don’t skip.
20 minutes is better than zero.
Keep up your protein + water — your energy will thank you.
Say NO to things that don’t matter and YES to yourself.
You control your calendar.
Don’t turn November & December into a food festival.
Enjoy the treats when they happen — but don’t pre-eat Christmas for 6 weeks.
Keep one space in your home “Christmas-free.”
A calm corner just for you.
Delegate what you can.
You’re not Santa. Share the load.
Pair Christmas prep with movement.
Walk while planning. Dance while cooking. Stretch while the oven heats!
Come to KWS MORE, not less.
You’ll walk out clearer, lighter, and 10× more capable.
Finish the year STRONG, not stressed.
Your 2026 starts NOW — not on Jan 1.
FINAL WORD
Christmas is meant to be joyful — not a battle.
Change your mindset, protect your habits, and stay connected to the strength you work so hard for all year.
Walk into Christmas feeling proud, not pressured.
This is YOUR season.
Own it. Shine through it. And lift others with your energy!!
