It's almost impossible to avoid the rules and stress of diet and wellness culture during the holiday season, so how can we lean into the grace of God when we are with family and everyone's differing opinions on food? In this mini-episode of the Joyful Health Show, I'll break down three key areas to focus on during the holiday season to reduce stress and enhance joy so God can be glorified during our time together.

You can remember these 3 key areas by the letter C:

1. Christ: Worship and prayer does wonders to awaken your spirit to the joy around you, immediately diminishing stress and worry

2. Community: Notice and appreciate those who are around you this holiday season, even as you might be grieving the loss of others.

3. Common grace: No matter what's on the table or in the conversation, we can all give thanks for how God blesses each of us without needing to earn His love.

Listen in for the 3 things to not focus on this holiday season so you can let more go and let peace reign! May you rest in His grace and find joy in the season.
