The One Habit to Keep During the Holidays

You don’t need a perfect routine—just one anchor habit.

The holidays are busy, messy, and unpredictable—and that’s okay.

This isn’t the time of year to chase perfection. It is, however, the perfect time to protect one simple habit that keeps you grounded when everything else feels chaotic.

Think of it as your anchor habit: the one behavior that makes everything else easier, even when your schedule is all over the place.

Why One Habit Is Enough

When routines fall apart, trying to “do everything” usually leads to doing nothing.

But one anchor habit gives you stability. It keeps you connected to your health, your energy, and your goals—without adding stress.

You don’t need a full plan right now.
You just need one thing you can do consistently.

Four Great Anchor Habits to Choose From

1. Water Intake

More hydration means better energy, better digestion, fewer cravings, and easier recovery.

A simple goal: start your day with a full glass of water.
When you hydrate well, your body stays steadier—even on the busiest days.

2. Protein at Every Meal

Protein keeps you full, supports muscle, and stabilizes blood sugar.

No need to overthink it—just include a palm-sized portion at each meal.
You’ll feel more energized and less tempted to graze all day.

3. Daily Steps

Walking reduces stress, improves mood, and keeps your body moving between big meals and long stretches of sitting.

Aim for 5,000–8,000 steps, even if they’re broken up throughout the day.
Movement doesn’t have to be a workout to count.

4. Sleep First

Good sleep is the foundation of everything: energy, hunger regulation, recovery, and mood.

Aim for a consistent bedtime and a simple wind-down routine.
Protect your sleep, and your workouts—and sanity—get easier.

Pick One. Commit to It.

You don’t need all four.
You don’t need a perfect schedule.

Just pick one anchor habit and commit to it.

That single habit will help keep you steady when schedules change, parties pile up, and your routine looks nothing like normal.
