As we head into the festive Christmas season, have you noticed how often the answer to “How are you?” includes the words “really busy”? It’s almost as if being busy has become a badge of honour.
But the truth is, constant busyness doesn’t do our wellbeing any favours. Just like a phone that never gets plugged in, we eventually run out of charge.
That’s why taking regular downtime isn’t something to feel guilty about. In fact it’s essential for your wellbeing.
A quiet cup of tea, listening to a guided relaxation, taking a few deep breaths by an open window, an afternoon power nap, curling up with a good book for ten minutes, or a slow, mindful walk can give your brain the reset it needs.
And the wonderful magic is that when you allow yourself to switch off, you boost not only your mood but your productivity too.
So perhaps this season, calm really is the new busy 🎄✨
With love,
