This is because our body is pretty efficient at regulating itself if we’re listening to our hunger and fullness cues, Schreyer said. On the flip side, fullness is all about recognizing and accepting that your body is currently satiated. Basically, nothing horrible is going to happen if you slow down over the holidays — in fact, the rest may very well do you some good. If you’re worried because you’re exercising less, do another healthy activity — meditate, spend time with friends, stretch or go on a walk. If you’re unable to comfortably adjust your workout routine over the holidays, it may be worth talking about your worries with a mental health professional, Schreyer said.

“I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus,” says Charlie Brown, shuffling through the snow as other kids frolic to a song about the holiday’s happiness and cheer. Why do we need a holiday season to emphasize it?” he laments). But “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is maybe the most uncomplicated, most sincere and most direct. Watching “A Charlie Brown Christmas” this year, what stands out for me is that nothing changes for Charlie Brown to “solve” his depression. But maybe, in this moment, with the hope of something else ahead, it’s the way we’re supposed to feel.

DEI gradually received more negative connotations starting around 2022, as it came to be associated with what’s now termed “woke” ideology. I concluded the article with this:“(The) BLM and woke/DEI (movements) became an albatross around the neck of urbanism. How these became linked is understandable; how these became separated deserves exploration.”How did urbanism become connected with DEI and the “woke” phenomenon? Is it realistic to address matters of segregation, economic inequality and economic mobility get addressed in an economic fashion, and not a moral fashion? Pete has more than twenty years' experience in planning, economic development, and community development, with stops in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
