Pearl of Wisdom Number 17 - Christmas Giving

With only a week left until Christmas day, how are you feeling about it?

Hate it and find it a difficult time of the year to get through?

Or maybe the festive season brings about an ambivalent state of mind?

Love it, but sometimes feel drained or overwhelmed by the whole thing?

I could be wrong but Christmas, and the run up to the end of year,  normally brings about one of these feelings in most of us,  so which one do you fit under?

Having to manage awkward, uncomfortable or just niggly feelings can be a bit bah humbug for us all, even more so if you feel extra pressure at this time of the year so maybe approach this season with a fresh, different out look?

Winter Wellness Tool Kit

Now that the days are really getting colder, darker and down right more dismal it's so important to take care of yourself not just physically but emotionally too!

The Christmas period and end of year chaos can have a mixed affect on our wellbeing and mindset, and although a new year can bring about hope and positive change - which we should totally embrace - January/February time can be quite hard on our resilience and our ability to keep focused, not mention our immune system too, and then there's the question of our bank balance! No wonder winter can be a tough time for many!

To keep myself focused and feeling merry and bright throughout these chilly grey months I have put together a little winter wellness toolkit and I'm sharing it with you today.
