The Magic Minute Episode 8: Holiday Food, Family + Politics

Happy thanksgiving! We are hitting food, family and politics in today's Magic Minute.

 

Kaylee gave some advice on handling family drama: 

1. Set ground rules ahead of time, to talk politics or not. Especially if it's a bipartisan table, if you feel safe, go ahead and reach across the aisle. Er, we mean, table. :) 

2. Stick to "I" language (I feel like/ I think....) 

3. Getting too heated? Have a pre-planned temporary exit strategy.

Carolyn touched on a few points for not ending up in the food coma:

1. Move in the morning

2. Eat normal meals ahead of time

3. Have a 1 plate rule- no seconds, and no piling food to the sky.

Also, don't stress about it so much! it's just one meal, next day get back on track. Wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving. xoxo
