Christmas Eve Pause

YOUR MINDFUL MOMENT

Christmas is one of the most loaded days of the year.

The pressure level is off the charts.

The kids are apoplectic with anticipation for the stranger who will commit multiple counts of B&E across the planet in just 12 hours and leave them with yet more plastic tat for you to step on.

Meanwhile, you’re trying to finalise plans before the in-laws descend and consolidate the precision logistics of trying to cook 15 different things, all of which will only be partially eaten in favour of the store-bought trifle & Walls Viennetta (did you know they still make that!)

So instead of using tonight to gear up for tomorrow, how about you use it to slow down?

Take a few last moments of calm and peace before tomorrow’s home invasion, and just breathe.

Now is the time to sit back, relax, pour yourself a glass of something that makes you smile and just breathe.

Because tomorrow’s going to come whether you stress about it or not. And you’ll enjoy it so much more if you wake up calm, rested, and present, not hungover, frazzled, and running on fumes.

P.S. Don’t forget to leave a few carrots for the reindeer and cookies for Father Christmas (but only AF whiskey, he’s driving tonight!)
