The holiday season is meant to feel joyful – but let us be honest, it often feels overwhelming. With last-minute work, endless events, unpredictable travel, and disrupted routines, December can leave you stretched thin.
When everything feels out of sync, it is tempting to say, “I will just start fresh in January.” But you do not have to wait for a new year to feel your best. You can feel strong, centred, and calm this month – even in the middle of the madness.
This is where your Holiday Reset Toolkit comes in. It is not a strict plan or a checklist. It is a collection of supportive tools – from simple meals and quick mobility flows to boundaries and check-ins – designed to help you stay well and grounded without burning out.
Let us walk through what that looks like.
A reset is not about perfection. It is about intention. This toolkit helps you maintain what matters without guilt, pressure, or all-or-nothing thinking.
The aim is not to control every meal or make it to the gym daily. The goal is to feel steady and strong without sacrificing your peace. You do not need to earn your rest. You need to protect it.
This December, use your toolkit to reconnect with what feels good – in your body, your schedule, and your routine. Because staying fit through the holidays is not about pushing harder. It is about moving smarter and choosing with care.
These are the five tools that will carry you through this season with energy and calm:
Easy meals that fuel you
Mobility flows for tired or travel-heavy days
Quick mindset check-ins
Boundaries that protect your wellbeing
Daily support through the MUV App
You will also get our downloadable Holiday Reset Pack, with recipes, mobility ideas, journal prompts, and more.
The holidays come with plenty of food – and that is not a bad thing. But when your schedule is off and your meals are random, your energy dips fast. The fix is not to restrict. It is to have go-to meals that support your body.
Here are three simple combinations that take less than 15 minutes:
Power Bowl: Roasted veg + grains or greens + a protein + healthy fats like avocado
Smoothie with Recovery Support: Blend almond milk, frozen berries, spinach, nut butter and a scoop of Shevive Recovery Protein
Quick Stir Fry: Sauté vegetables and protein with garlic and tamari, serve with rice or quinoa
These are not “clean” meals. They are balanced meals that help you stay energised and avoid crashes.
You do not need long workouts to stay active in December. Some days all you have time for is a stretch and that is enough.
In the MUV App, you will find:
Morning mobility flows to wake your body gently
Travel-friendly stretches for tight hips and backs
Wind-down sessions for sleep and stress relief
These flows are designed to fit into full schedules and low-energy days. They keep your joints open, your breath steady, and your routine intact.
Even ten minutes counts.
When you are rushing around and doing things for everyone else, it is easy to lose sight of what you need. These three questions can help you pause and reset:
What would feel most supportive to me right now?
Am I choosing this because I want to or because I feel guilty?
What is one small thing I can do today to protect my energy?
You can answer these mentally, write them down in your MUV journal, or use them to guide your choices.
It is not about over-analysing. It is about bringing your awareness back to yourself.
Boundaries are not harsh, they are kind. They protect your time, your energy, your health, and your peace.
This December, you might need to:
Say no to something that feels too heavy
Leave the gathering early if you are feeling overstimulated
Opt out of conversations that drain you
Skip the workout and stretch instead
Log off when your body says it is time to rest
None of this makes you weak or lazy. It makes you self-aware. That is a strength worth celebrating.
You do not need to figure this out alone. Inside the MUV App, we are keeping it simple and supportive all month long.
Join our Daily Check-Ins to:
Track how you are feeling each day
Choose a movement or rest option
Set a tiny intention for your wellness
Celebrate even the smallest win
You will also find guided sessions, mobility flows, and quick meal inspiration. It is not about perfection – it is about presence.
When your days are full, your body needs more than just motivation. It needs consistent fuel and support.
Our Shevive Wellness line is made to help women recover, reset, and restore without needing complicated plans.
Top picks for your December reset:
Recovery Support Protein – easy to digest, great after movement or as a meal
Greens Formula – supports digestion and immune health
Hydration Support – balances minerals and replenishes you after busy days or travel
Keep them in your gym bag or kitchen counter. You deserve tools that support you without fuss.
Q: Can I really stay consistent during the holidays?
Yes. It may not look like your regular routine, but that is alright. Consistency can be as simple as movement, water, sleep, or a mindset check.
Q: Do I need to work out every day?
Absolutely not. Stretching, walking, or resting are all valid parts of a December routine. Honour your energy.
Q: What if I “mess up” or miss a week?
You do not have to start from zero. Your progress is not undone by a few busy days. The goal is to return gently when you are ready.
Q: What is inside the Holiday Reset Pack?
It includes recipes, journal prompts, movement plans, and mindset guides – all tailored to the season and easy to use.
Q: Where can I find the mobility flows?
They are inside the MUV App under Stretch and Recovery. They are perfect for mornings, travel days, or evenings when you need to slow down.
You do not need to do it all. You just need a few steady anchors to keep you grounded. This month, let your reset be simple, kind, and sustainable.
With nourishing meals, supportive movement, daily check-ins, and space to protect your peace – you can move through December feeling more like yourself, not less.
Your Holiday Reset Toolkit is here. Use it. Trust it. And let it carry you into the new year with strength.
