High on Life

127. Don’t Wait for January: Why December is Perfect for Your Health Goals!


Listen Later

In today’s episode of High on Life, Dr. Sasha High discusses why December (with all the holidays and treats!) is actually the best time to focus on your health and weight loss goals.

Rather than waiting for the New Year to roll around, Dr. High challenges you to break free from the mindset that you need the “perfect time” to start and encourages you to take small, manageable steps toward health and well-being—even during the busy holiday season.

“Waiting for January is perpetuating an internal belief that your circumstances dictate how you show up for yourself.”

Key Takeaways:

  • Stop Waiting for the "Perfect Time": Waiting until January to start fresh is a misconception that can keep you stuck in a cycle of deferring action. Life is rarely perfect, and waiting for the ideal moment only reinforces the idea that external circumstances must align for you to take action.
  • Progress Over Perfection: December is a great time to let go of all-or-nothing thinking. You don’t need to be perfect to make small, healthy choices. By focusing on progress, you can create a foundation for success that works with your real-life circumstances.
  • Small Steps Lead to Big Changes: Starting small in December, like drinking more water or adding a short walk to your routine, is more effective than drastic resolutions. Small actions now will help you build momentum heading into the new year.
  • Dr. High also offers 9 Practical Tips for Maintaining Health During the Holidays.
