In fact, it can be the dance floor of joy and success. Today, I’ve got five killer moves to help you dodge the self-sabotage blues and set the stage for a fantastic holiday season and an even better year ahead.

1. Make a Plan: Turn Your Plans into a Dance Routine
I know, making plans can feel like a chore. And you don’t follow it, right? It’s okay. Make one anyway. Big plans, small steps. That is your secret, okay? Here’s the scoop: big plans, small steps. Turn that plan into a dance routine you can’t resist. Let the beats guide you through the holiday hustle.
2. Commit Like a Superstar: Dial Up to 10/10
Commitment isn’t always a walk in the park. Ever said, “I can’t commit a 10 because look, I’ve failed all these times?” That’s kind of messed up, yet, we all do it. So don’t do that. Instead, just simply say, “You know what? This time I’m going to commit to it, and yeah, I’ve failed a gazillion times. So what?” That helps us dial up the commitment to a 10 out of 10. Forget past setbacks; commit like it’s the first time. Small steps, big dreams—that’s the secret sauce.
3. Don’t Forget About You: Get Closer to 60%
In the whirlwind of family, festivities, and drama, don’t neglect yourself. Even 55% is better than zero. Take small steps toward self-care. Shake off the drama, and open yourself up to the dance moves of happiness.
4. Own It: Say Goodbye to Neglect
It’s time to take charge. Stop neglecting your needs. No more “I’ll do it when…”. Own your life now. Book that massage, take care of yourself, and stop putting things off. The holidays are a great excuse to neglect yourself. It’s the season of giving. HINT: Make it a non negotiable to Give to Yourself First. And that does not mean “oh great I’ll have that extra food I know I’ll regret.” It means “I’m gonna treat my body with respect. I’m gonna treat MY TIME with respect.” That’s self care 🙂
5. Dance to Your Plan: Say Hello to the Rhythm
Throw a self-dance party and bid farewell to self-sabotage. Dance to the rhythm of your plan. Energy flows where attention goes. Shake off the blues and welcome the positive vibes. Even…and especially…when you don’t feel like it. Lay down for a 20 min pity party then say 3 things you are grateful for…and then smile and lift your arms up in the mirror. Give yourself that high 5 in the mirror and laugh at how silly it is.
Then, if you dare, be like Crazy Coach Carol and…DANCE LIKE NOBODY’S WATCHING.
