It’s my favourite time of the year and the BUSIEST time of the year. And breathe.
I’ve got client deadlines and meetings flying all over the place, Christmas Nativity and end of year productions rehearsals to navigate AND attend, mini-humans’ choir performances to listen to, presents to buy and wrap, holiday travel plans to organise, after-school clubs to manage, Christmas playdates to host and don’t get me started on New Year’s activities and their 2024 schedules. My. Head. Is. About. To. Explode.
And it is still my favourite time of the year. Twisted, I know.
So how am I coping with this mania ? Well…my survival technique is :
- Firstly, this blog is my initial form of meditation. Writing it down, seeing it in black and white, definitely dilutes some of the emotion around it.
- Breathing. Highly underrated. And works a miracle.
- Writing a priority list. Ticking it off. Sooooo satisfying.
- Outsourcing where possible !!
And knowing that it is ok if I mess up slightly. There are calls I need to make, emails to respond to, and it will all get dealt with in a last-minute flurry between attending the obligatory nativity performances and the eleventh-hour present buying dash. So fudge it. It will all get done. Perfectly ?? I think not. But there is also beauty and a little magic in it all being somewhat ruffled around the edges.
So take a second to know whatever you do is Just Good Enough. Xx
