On the Winter Solstice, the night is long - but not permanent.

Even the darkest seasons eventually give way to light.

Hold on to the small sparks. They matter.

Where do you find your light and energy during tough times?

20/12/2025

You’ve carried so much this year - more than most people know and more than you realise.

Take a moment to honour the strength it took to get here.

Your resilience is real, even if the journey has felt messy.

What challenges have you smashed through this year?

Release what’s been weighing you down…

Old expectations

Comparisons

Guilt, or habits that no longer fit who you are.

Letting go makes room for new possibilities.

What’s one thing you no longer need to hang on to?

Do one small act today that your January self will appreciate…

Tidying a drawer

Sending that email

Scheduling a rest day.

Tiny acts now create more manageable days later.

What will future-you thank you for?

If you’re neurodivergent, Christmas can be loud, bright, busy, and overwhelming.

Tips:

– Take sensory breaks
– Use noise-reducing tools
– Choose calm corners
– Set time limits for events

Your comfort matters.

What helps reduce sensory overwhelm for you?

When emotions spike, try this:

Name it →
Breathe →
Step back →
Choose a response.

You don’t need to react instantly. You can respond with intention.

Consider: Are you thinking with emotion or logic?

What’s a calming technique that works for you?

Gratitude doesn’t need to be big or profound.

A warm drink.

A soft blanket.

A kind look from someone you love.

Small gratitude still counts.

What’s one small thing you’re grateful for today?

14/12/2025

Presents or presence?

Perhaps the most meaningful gift you can offer - to yourself and others - is presence.

Slow down.

Feel the moment.

Notice the little things.

What’s one way you can be more present this week?

Have you noticed your mood dips at this time of year? You’re not alone.

Less sunlight, colder days, and busier schedules can take a toll.

Your feelings are valid - and you deserve support.

What helps brighten your winter days?

Be gentle with yourself today.

Speak to yourself in the way you’d speak to someone you love.

Soft words can shift even the heaviest feelings.

What supportive words do you need today?

Family gatherings can be warm and social… they can also be complicated and emotional.

Remember: you’re allowed to step outside, breathe, set limits, or leave early if you need to.

Your well-being matters.

What helps you stay grounded during family gatherings?

You don’t have to earn rest.

You don’t need to be exhausted to justify it.

Rest is part of staying well - not a reward, but a requirement.
