6 Habits to Hold Onto During the Busy Season

When the calendar is packed and responsibilities stack up, it’s tempting to give up on routines to “fix” the chaos. But here’s the truth: The busy holiday season is not the time to abandon the progress you’ve made this year. Instead, focus on holding onto the foundations you’ve already built – the steady rituals that keep your body resilient, your mind clear and your digestion moving smoothly.*

Here are six simple wellness habits worth prioritizing when life gets demanding:

1. Stay Consistent with Mealtimes

Regular eating patterns help maintain balanced energy levels and support a healthy digestive rhythm. Skipping meals – or eating at wildly different times each day – can leave you feeling depleted and less focused. Encourage clients (and yourself) to keep meals predictable, even if portions are lighter or simpler. For those times you need gentle, guaranteed support for healthy motility, reach for GI Motility Complex®.*

2. Keep Hydration Simple

Water remains the most underrated wellness tool. Staying hydrated helps maintain concentration, supports digestive function and promotes overall vitality. Practitioners know it’s not about expensive tonics or complicated regimens. It can be as easy as carrying a refillable bottle and setting reminders. You can also make your water work a little harder and your wellness routine a little easier, by adding probiotic stick packs or fiber.

3. Prioritize Rest as Well as Fun

Sleep is not something we should save for later or wait to stockpile when life slows down. Remind clients to aim for seven hours or more a night to help offset the added stress this time of year – and maintain a healthy immune system and mood. Adding magnesium to your routine can help promote soothing slumber, for more effective rest. The right kind matters, which is why we use a version that helps you feel better faster!**

4. Simply Your Digestive Support*

When things get busy, our normal eating patterns tend to be all over the place. This is when consistent digestive support matters most. Enzymes can help the body break down foods more efficiently, while probiotics help maintain balanced gut flora.* These foundations help ensure clients continue to feel their best, even when meals look a little different than usual. Our two core formulas, Critical Digestion and Complete Digestion, simplify this routine by combining our potent enzymes with a shelf-stable probiotic in a single capsule.

5. With Movement, Pick Progress > Perfection

Not every day – or, let’s be honest, every week – allows for a full workout. When time is short, focus on “movement snacks” of 15, 10 or even five minutes. Think: short walks, a set of bodyweight squats throughout the day, stretching between appointments or standing while on calls. These micromovements support healthy circulation, help manage stress and keep the body energized without requiring extra time.

6. Take the Same Approach with Mindfulness

Mindfulness doesn’t have to mean a 30-minute meditation or a yoga class. It could be one intentional breath before a meeting, a pause between clients or a gratitude reflection at the end of the day. These small practices help anchor the nervous system and promote resilience in high-demand seasons.
