Keep it easy: 5 ways to sustain your energy this season
Ho ho ho-ly moly, are you ready?
Ready to strap in and get set for what can feel like the most wonderful (and stressful) time of the year?
However you feel about Christmas, here are five ways you can sustain your elf energy (and sanity) this Christmas:
- Let go of perfection (and let those fugly decorations the kids love go on the tree). Don’t waste your time comparing your family or your plans to anyone else's, it isn’t always as it seems. Lean in to what makes you happy.
- Don’t overfill your calendar, you don’t need to have Christmas drinks with everyone. Give yourself some space and spend some time doing what really lights you up, ‘cos sitting down to enjoy a Christmas movie when it feels like there’s still loads to do is always a good idea.
- While we love getting our craft on, with wreaths, mulled wine, baking for school and presents for hampers, it can get a bit much amongst everything else. So we say, pick one thing to make and buy the rest. And if you still want it to look homemade, pop it in a cake tin with a festive napkin and you’re golden.
- Save yourself the Christmas Eve stress and get your wrapping done early. We love sticking a feel good movie on, pour ourselves a glass of something good and get the gifts wrapped without the time pressure. There’s enough of that already, don’t you think?
- Wrap a couple of candles for those times when you need an extra present. No matter how organised we are, it always feels better having a few extra gifts on hand. Our favourites are the festive blends from TK Maxx.
This Christmas you deserve more easy. Afterall, it doesn’t need to be hard, running a business is hard enough!
But we know a thing or two about making it easy and we’ll let you into a secret, putting strategy into your storytelling gets to be fun and you get to build the life and business you’ve been dreaming about all year.
Don’t get burned out before 2022 even begins, let’s keep it easy together. Book a FREE discovery call to see how we can help you finish the year strong and head into January ready for your best year yet.

Gabrielle Bernstein
I discovered Gabrielle Bernstein in the summer of 2019, inhaling her book The Universe has got your back while on holiday in France. Since then I've literally read her entire repertoire. I can't get enough of her positivity and make picking an affirmation card the first task of my day.

Day dreaming
Alone, with friends, family or our clients, I LOVE dreaming up ideas. I believe anything is possible. The first step is allowing ourselves to imagine what those possibilities could be.

Being in the mountains
Mountains, I love 'em. I love looking at them, hiking them and the endless possibilities they hold. Our favourite place to explore in the UK is the Lake District. Whenever we have a spare weekend or day, I jump in our van and head to the mountains.
