The December Rethink.
Back in the day when I used to work full-time, December was THE season for partying. Come the first of December I would typically eat and drink to my heart’s content, attend lots of social engagements, spend a lot of money and be feeling so bloated and tired come 27/12 that I’d often stay in for New Year’s eve and I would jump on the bandwagon of the typical January detox dieting to counteract how I’d been living throughout December.
Aside from the party...ing, there’s also a lot of pressure and expectation (whether self-induced or external) and life seems to get particularly hectic around Christmas. I find that a lot of people I know (me included, although less these days) cram in more social engagements than they have all year and feel they have to shop for people who they may not have even seen in months. There’s also the natural desire to want to hibernate, which comes from the darker days (in the northern hemisphere) combined with tiredness as the year starts to draw to a close.
Now, don’t get me wrong there’s also a lot of magic and beauty around Christmas – generosity, love, sparkly lights (who doesn’t love them!), celebrating, coming together and sharing. I know it’s a time of year that many love and look forward to, myself included. I love certain parts of it – the warmth, fun and being with people I love. But there’s also a lot I personally find can be too much or that I don’t agree with – the over indulgence, consumerism (with Christmas advertising urging you to spend and consume as much as possible) and feelings of obligation to name a few. Followed by the feelings of guilt and general exhaustion that come after the season if and when you overdo it.
How about a December where you do things differently, where you allow for spaciousness, retreating and gentleness (without the guilt) – which actually are natural things for us to want to do in this month with the shortest days in the northern hemisphere. How about a month where you honour the season of the year, but also take part in some of the kinder and more loving aspects of what Christmas is all about? How about a December where you don’t overdo it (whilst still enjoying it) and are kind and loving to yourself – body, mind and soul?
I understand how easy it is for me to write this, implementing it is another story, however, ( you knew that was coming) doing just one ☝️thing per day that is just for YOU, a coffee, a small meditation 🧘‍♀️, a quick read/ look of your favourite book/blogger, is a chance to let go, recharge and you benefit. In doing this you train your brain to take ‘time out’ and this gives you the best form of rehabilitation and relaxation to carry on. Be kind to yourself and others will prosper.
Happy Sunday

Learning new things and causes of PTS ( post traumatic stress).
I have just completed a course in something called the REWIND technique. This was created by Dr David Muss to change the thought process in holding trauma. It was fantastic and has given me yet another tool to help those who need it. Post traumatic stress can develop when people experience massively stressful events that involve childhood physical or sexual abuse, being sexually assaulted, or narrowly escaping g...
