With the build up to Christmas many people feel pressure, stress and overwhelm. Instead of holding a long list in your mind choose one small action you can complete in the next 24 hours. Write it down and focus on that only. This simple method reduces overwhelm, builds motivation and helps you enter Christmas feeling calmer. Bring YOU into the season.

Saying I need often lowers your energy and motivation. Using I want, I would like or I would love creates a different mindset. The best choice depends on the context. Softness works in some situations and clarity works better in others. Your language shapes your confidence and your behaviour. Bring YOU into your communication.

Twenty five years in IT taught me that resilience is about preparation and recovery. Humans anticipate the worst and create anxiety without realising it. Look back at your setbacks this year and ask how you recovered. This reflection reveals your resilience and your strength. Bring YOU into your growth.

If you struggle to trust yourself, begin with one tiny promise each morning. Drink water, stretch, breathe, or choose any small action you can follow through. Self trust grows with consistency and small habits. Build confidence one promise at a time. Bring YOU into your day.

If you are ending the year asking “Why did I not do more” this is your reminder. Comparison destroys confidence. Shift the question to “What can I build next year.” This mindset change boosts confidence, motivation, and self worth. Bring YOU into 2026.
