tips for well-being: navigating the end-of-year rush

The festive season can be a wonderful time, but it often comes with increased social demands, financial pressures and schedule disruption, which can quickly deplete your energy reserves. Here are three simple reminders to help you stay grounded this month:

Prioritise Presence Over Perfection:

It’s easy to get caught up in making everything perfect. Give yourself permission to let go of impossible standards. Focus instead on enjoying moments with loved ones, rather than obsessing over the details.

Schedule in 'Sacred' Downtime:

Treat rest and relaxation like any other important appointment. Schedule at least 30 minutes of intentional downtime each week—whether it’s a quiet cup of tea, a walk in nature, or simply listening to music.

Know Your Boundaries:

Saying "no" to an extra commitment is saying "yes" to your mental health. Boundaries protect your energy. Decide what you can realistically manage this month and communicate your needs clearly and kindly.
