Holiday Party Survival Tips

1. Don’t Save Yourself for the Main Event• In other words, eat before you go. • It may sound counterintuitive but if you

eat a small, healthy snack like a smoothie or salad before a party, you’ll make better choices once you step up to the buffet table because you won’t be famished.

• Likewise, eat breakfast and lunch before a dinner. You’ll eat less and feel more satisfied.

2. Pick Your Poison • Allow one or two quality

indulgences for the treats you love and enjoy.

• For most, it’s unrealistic to deprive yourself this time of year so don’t try.

• If you allow it, you won’t go nuts with it but if you forbid it, you could break down and overdo it.

Holiday Party Survival Tips3. One On One Off• Resist the urge to binge drink and

keep pace with your pals. • Alternate your cocktails with plain

water, kombucha or seltzer. • Ask for it in your cocktail glass of

choice so nobody will know. Or just own it.

• You’ll wake up bright-eyed and busy-tailed the next day. Everyone else? Not so much.

4. Schedule “You” Time• Don’t forget to take care

of yourself and spend some time re-charging.

• If you don’t schedule it in, it won’t happen and you can’t be your holiday cheeriest without it.

5. Get Choosy• Don’t feel obligated to go to

every event you’re invited to. • Assess the ones that feel right to

you. • Go to the parties and get-

togethers where you’ll feel inspired, energized and supported; avoid the ones where the Negative Nancys will be.
