In this episode, we delve into the concept of Christmas thought errors.
Consider this: the tendency for weight gain during the festive season is less about the abundance of holiday feasts and more about our personal mindsets, beliefs, and thoughts surrounding Christmas. The real culprits behind holiday overindulgence are our perceptions of Christmas festivities, the foods we encounter, and the social interactions we engage in, as well as our year-round outlook on life.
It's a logical conclusion when you think about it. The opportunity to overindulge is universally present during the holidays, yet not everyone succumbs to it. The distinction lies in the individual's mindset.
In this discussion, we aim to dissect the thoughts that generate emotions, driving behaviours misaligned with our health and wellness goals—specifically, the habitual overeating during Christmas. Understanding and altering these thought patterns is crucial before one can foster a healthier relationship with holiday eating.
