After the joy—and often the hustle—of the holidays, January invites us to slow down and find balance again.

The transition into a new year doesn’t have to mean jumping straight into productivity or self-improvement. Sometimes, the healthiest thing you can do is set boundaries and rest. Say no to what drains you, and yes to what restores you. Create space in your schedule for stillness, reflection, or activities that nourish your energy rather than deplete it.

Rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement. By honoring your limits and reclaiming your time, you set the tone for a year built on balance, intention, and care.

Gentle reminder that you can survive discomfort!

Discomfort doesn’t necessarily mean danger and it doesn’t mean failure either.

Discomfort from difficult moments or emotions can still be safely experienced. When you take time to acknowledge the uncomfortable feelings rather than avoid them, you create space for healing and learn that you are stronger than you think! -Gia

Welcome to part 2 of our December series on Surviving the Season, focusing on building trust and flexibility with food.

Intuitive Eating is a powerful practice that allows you to choose freedom over fear. This approach aligns deeply with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles of mindfulness, acceptance, psychological flexibility, and value-focused action:

❄️Ditch the rules: Remove social and environmental constraints for eating. Unconditional permission to eat means food holds less power and control. Connect with your hunger and fullness cues through somatic awareness instead of external rules.

❄️Untangle the truth: Get curious about previously held beliefs about food and eating. Research helps expose diet culture myths, freeing you to make choices aligned with your values and physical cues in mind.

❄️Focus on experience: Use mindfulness skills like anchoring to the present and 5 senses grounding. When you eat, tune into the taste, texture, and aroma. This allows you to have the full experience of eating and tune into enjoyment.

❄️Build Trust: Living in alignment with your values of curiosity, presence, and compassion. Your body is trustworthy. Listen to its needs without judgment.

You deserve to navigate this season and every season with peace and self-trust. -Morgan

The holiday season can intensify distress around food and body image. Welcome to our December series on Surviving the Season, offering Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aspects of awareness, acceptance, and practical value-based steps towards food freedom this season.

This month, when you notice yourself experiencing a food or body image trigger, try these steps:

❄️Anchor to the present: Ground yourself by focusing on what you can see, hear, and touch right now. Notice triggering thoughts as just mental noise and allow them to float away. Focus on your breath. Step out of the thoughts and into the moment.

❄️Identify and defuse: Acknowledge difficult thoughts and emotions when they arrive. Observe them without judgment. You are the observer of these feelings, not the feelings themselves - “I am noticing I am having distressing thoughts about this meal and feeling anxiety.”

❄️Prepare your support system: Plan a safety net: a friend to text or a mantra to repeat. Let trusted others know how they can support you during this time. This gives you clarity when fear spikes.

❄️Focus on Values: Let your values (like connection, presence, and compassion) guide your choices, rather than the feared narrative of your thoughts.

Remember: You can choose your values over your fears. Look out for Part 2 next week! - Morgan

While the holidays can be a fun and joyous time full of love and connection, they can also be stressful!

Holiday stress is a very normal part of the season whether it’s financial strain, streaky travel, family expectations, or even the energy it takes to be extremely social.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed during this time, so here are a few tips to help you manage your stress this season:

Be proactive about your boundaries: You are allowed to say no to things BEFORE they drain your energy, not just after!

Intentional downtime: Resting isn’t lazy or antisocial. Try carving out some time for yourself to restore your balance.

Meaning over perfection: Shift your focus to moments that are meaningful to you, rather than making attempts to execute the “perfect holiday”

Check in: We love deep breathing and mindful moments. Take a moment to pause and notice any stress or tension in your body. Can you show those parts some love?

Stay connected: Reach out to friends or loved ones for support! We are also here to support you through the holiday season at Health in Tandem!

The holidays are tough on OCD - all the triggers, all the pressure for "perfection." Trying to fight the intrusive thoughts often just makes it worse.

What if your OCD wasn't a monster, but a scared inner "part" trying to protect you?

The Internal Family Systems (IFS) model teaches you how to approach that protective part with compassion, calm, and clarity (Self-energy). This is a key step to end the constant fighting within your own brain this holiday season.

Read the 3 steps to a more compassionate approach in our new blog! - Morgan
