Gratitude & Grounding
This week lands in one of the most emotionally charged seasons of the entire year. Thanksgiving, family dynamics, travel, disrupted routines, heavier meals, and heightened expectations all collide at once. It is a week where energy gets loud, schedules get messy, and the nervous system gets pulled in every direction. That’s exactly why we focus on gratitude and grounding this week.
Gratitude is stabilizing.
It breaks the cycle of stress, comparison, and overwhelm by shifting your focus back to what is steady, supportive, and meaningful. During a week where old patterns get triggered and emotions can run high, gratitude pulls you out of reaction mode and back into presence.
Grounding is regulating.
Holiday weeks come with more sitting, more food, more noise, and more stimulation. Grounding practices—like deep breathing, mindful movement, slow walks, and intentional pauses—help you stay anchored in your body instead of getting swept up in the chaos.
Together, gratitude + grounding give you the emotional foundation you need to move through this holiday with strength, clarity, and calm. This challenge is designed to help you stay centered, connected, and intentional—no matter what the week brings.

Core Stability Through the Holidays
This week’s physical challenge is designed to counter everything the holiday season throws at your body: extra sitting, long drives, heavier meals, emotional stress, and the classic “holiday slouch.” Each day targets a different part of your core—deep stabilizers, obliques, low back support, posture muscles, and functional balance—to keep you feeling strong, upright, and energized.
You’ll train the muscles that help you stand taller, move easier, digest better, and stay grounded, even when your routine gets messy. With just 20–25 minutes a day, you’ll build resilience where it matters most and walk into the holidays feeling solid, supported, and centered.
