2. 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.

3. 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.
