What if you didn't make a new year's resolution?

What if instead, you focused on being exactly where you are?

Moved towards acceptance, rather than futurising/projecting into the year ahead, in this particular moment.

What if, you took some time to turn inwards after a hectic month of socialising, and doing?

Breathe.

Feel your beautiful body, your beautiful heart that pulses blood, the essence of you to every corner of your being.

What if,

you remember

​you are enough?

Breathe.

Some tips to support you through the Christmas Season:

1. Hydrate
2. You don't have to attend every event you're invited too.
3. Rest, sleep, eat well.
4. If you're going to multiple places on Christmas Day......find a way to do it so that you're minimising the stress factor for you. Can you do it differently?
5. Breathe.
6. Use mundane incidental moments like bathroom trips, in the car, to breathe, come back to centre.
7. When you find yourself getting overwhelmed, com back to the the present moment through your senses & your breath.
8. When you find yourself comparing your experience to others presented on social media, remember, it's a snapshot.
9. There are no should's.....easy to forget that when laden with obligations.
10. Manage your alcohol intake.
11. If you’re in recovery, go to meetings, reach out to your sponsor, friends in recovery.
12.If you're struggling, reach out to someone you feel safe with, or Lifeline 13 11 14.

Wishing you joyful & loving moments in your days,
Be kind to yourself, nourish, and nurture.

Love,
