It is getting to that time of year again…

If you have checked your calendar recently - it seems shocking that we are literally only very few weeks away from Christmas. I know people say this every year but especially this year it seemed to come round especially quick. However, it is getting to this time of year again for many of us where things are getting incredibly hectic first before they start to calm down and give us time to reflect. But then finally the calm comes - it always does so hand in there.

The time before Christmas is a time of waiting for many of us. Rather than going from hectic event to event, we should really take some time to pause. It is ok if we don’t have a crazy busy December anymore and really spend the time with our children and family. Surely, we all worked hard and had very busy times this year in our lives, so it is ok to now take a step back and just enjoy the time we have until Christmas.

However, Christmas should also always be a time to reflect. What went well this year, what have we achieved and what areas should be still work on? What are our goals for the next year and where should we do thing differently? Thise things take a bit of time and careful reflection, by us not being too busy at this time of year, it is a great moment to think about them and prepare ourselves for a busy year ahead.

So, it is ok to take a moment and just enjoy ourselves in the pre - Christmas time. It is ok to take a moment and just have some fun with family and friends. It’s a time of year not to be stressed but to me merry - so make the most of it without feeling bad about it - it will do all of us good.
