The first two weeks back can overwhelm any brain — especially neurodivergent ones. Instead of pushing harder, lower demands in small, practical ways:

• Shorten or simplify tasks
• Spread out deadlines or steps
• Offer clear routines and predictability
• Reduce non-essential expectations

These small adjustments give the brain space to regulate, focus, and settle — setting everyone up for a smoother start to the year.

I’m really grateful to have been part of this conversation with the Her Health™ Podcast. We talk about why brain health matters — and why it’s so often overlooked.

Gentle re-entry matters.

January isn’t about pushing harder or “getting back on track”.
From a brain perspective, this time of year is dominated by transition — and transitions are cognitively expensive.

After holidays, the brain is adjusting to:
•Increased demands
•Reduced novelty
•Less rest and flexibility
•Higher emotional and executive functioning load

For children - and especially neurodivergent individuals - this recalibration takes time. Attention, regulation and motivation often dip before they improve.

That’s not a failure.
It’s neurology.

This month, we’ll focus on gentle re-entry:
What the brain needs right now, and how best to support it as the year begins.

Brain Bits: random yet relevant 🧠🫐

Laughter, lights, carols, cookies… did you know these festive rituals actually flood your brain with oxytocin?

This “bonding hormone” keeps you connected, calm, and happier - even in the holiday chaos!

Make this season about moments that matter, not just tasks. Your heart and mind will thank you🎄✨

NeuroTruth 🧠

This festive season, give yourself the gift of saying "no".

Your energy matters more than any to-do list. Boundaries aren’t selfish - they’re essential. Protect your time, protect your joy, and show up fully for the moments that truly matter. ✨

Tiny Tweaks!
A 10-week journey of small, practical shifts that make a big difference for your brain and body.

#8: Capture the moment (figuratively)

The festive season can feel like it’s on fast-forward - shopping, cooking, socialising… the whole year rushing by in a blur!

This week, take control of time by slowing down just one moment a day. Be present, engage your senses—the smell of food, the sound of laughter, the view of the mountains—and really linger.

Examples:
☕ Sip your coffee mindfully, no devices
👶 Laugh with your child, fully present
🌅 Watch a sunset and truly see it

Pause. Breathe. Notice. Appreciate.

Even one intentional moment a day can help you feel calmer, recharge your energy, and truly savour the magic of the season 💫
