Christmas is coming and many people look forward to a holiday, yet the moment the break arrives the body crashes. This often happens because we overload ourselves before the holiday and enter it exhausted. Take a moment to slow down, choose one short term goal and protect your energy. Celebrating your progress and reducing burnout helps you enjoy your time away with more calm and presence. Bring YOU into the holiday season.

You're winding down for the holidays, relaxing... and BAM! A brilliant idea hits you. The first thought? "It can wait until the New Year." Stop right there. This happens because you're relaxing, changing your internal frequency, and opening yourself to receive new insights. These "holiday ideas" are precious! Don't let Christmas lead to procrastination and forgetfulness. Write that idea down right now! When the holidays are over, you'll have the gold ready for goal-setting and action. Dare to dream, dare to capture.

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.
