This Christmas, how would it be if you let go of all the expectations and gave yourself time and space to enjoy what matters most to you?
Christmas these days can be fraught with tension – challenging lists, agonising over gifts, juggling social and family commitments, cramming too much into your calendar, creating a house that’s perfectly decorated, producing a fabulous festive feast – especially if you’re dealing with ill health, relationship challenges, money worries, or feel burnt out. And, if someone you loved has died during the year, it can all feel like a blur. If you’re single or far away from home, it can seem like one of the loneliest times of the year.
I remember a Christmas when I had a miscarriage…. the Christmas after my husband and I separated… another after my sister died. It’s not easy and you might just want it all to hurry up and be done with.
Something new
Wherever there’s tension, something new can be created. This Christmas… how would it be for you to choose how you want it to be… how you want to be? You might just want to be quiet, to chill and relax. You might decide to say ‘no’ when you want rather than try to keep everyone happy. How would that feel?
If you find Christmas is a time when you feel trapped and don’t know why, contact me and we can have a chat to get clear about what matters to you and plan to celebrate in your own way so you experience the true meaning of the season for you. I’m offering a free one-hour session on Zoom to anyone who contacts me this week.
