For Real: Eat the Cookies!

Don't panic over the holiday food spread.
 
Maybe don't eat until your stomach hurts, and maybe don't bring the leftover desserts back home, but PLEASE, while you're with your family, enjoying them, make sure you also enjoy the meal - without guilt. Including the cookies.
 
Enjoy some real cookies this holiday season. Or some other thing you enjoy but think is “off limits”. 
Just do it consciously. Mindfully. Joyfully. And — as we teach in our coaching programs — slowly. 
Instead of scarfing it down furtively and waiting for the guilt, savor it. Taste the layers of flavor and try to extract every last one of them. 
Stay present and checked in. Choose with purpose. Then move on. 
Because, with the right approach:
You can enjoy food, connect with others, and be healthy and fit.  
All at the same time.
