It’s that time of year again! It feels like just yesterday when I was writing last year’s Christmas article.
Many of you are busy during this season, whether you’re shopping for last-minute gifts, wrapping up your work for the year, baking, preparing meals days ahead or catching up with friends and family. The list is endless.
During busy times, we often forget to take a moment for ourselves to rest and recharge.
If you find yourself running around, trying to meet everyone’s needs and deadlines, it’s important to carve out some time for yourself.
It’s Not The End Of The World
Remember, it’s not the end of the world if everything isn’t done before Christmas. Not everything has to be completed right away—catching up with friends can always wait until after the holiday or into the New Year.
By not trying to cram everything in, you’ll create a more relaxed, meaningful, and memorable experience.
Reflecting
When I think back to the Christmas Days I had, the most precious and memorable ones are the simplest ones.
Some of my memorable Christmas Days are:
- The last Christmas with my mum and dad in Cyprus in 2020.
- Christmas with grandchildren and other children, their excitement and innocence.
- Volunteering days before Christmas. I found this very rewarding and fulfilling. It was like my heart was filled with gratitude. This is something we will do more of in the future.
- Experiencing Christmas overseas, different cultural experiences.
- Christmas with close friends and family.
- The new friends I made, that now hold a special place in my heart.
Grateful
Taking a moment to reflect on what we are grateful for can truly transform our perspective.
When we immerse ourselves in thoughts of gratitude, our hearts are filled with love, and we often feel inspired to engage in activities that bring us joy and fulfilment.
It’s a beautiful reminder of the connection we share with ourselves and the world around us.
Map Your Year Ahead
Now is the perfect time to Map the year ahead, 2025. Keep in mind all the things you are grateful for.
Plant the seed, nurture it, and cultivate it to thrive.
Allow the authentic you to shine.
