A little earlier each year! The Silly Season
Hey Reader,
I know, its not even the 1st of November and I’m writing about the run up to Christmas.
The last two years haven’t really gone as expected, and last year a lot of us were unable to spend time with our loved ones over the Christmas period. However, this year is back on and the invitations are sliding in thick and fast.
Over the next few weeks, I will be talking to you about ways to navigate the silly season, so it remains enjoyable, healthy and stress free.
I love a good catch-up and I already have a few invitations that have come in, my issue is that like you I am time poor. I’m also a little hesitant about stepping out into the wide world, even though restrictions have lifted.
Here are my top tips for managing your time and invitations during the silly season: 1. Don’t overcommit! Pick a few quality events to attend and don’t spread yourself too thin, the Christmas season can often become more stressful than it needs to be.
2. Batch friends/events! Get more friends into one session, try to get groups of friends together for a celebration rather than trying to navigate multiple individual events.
3. No is a valid response! You do not need to feel guilty about saying no, it is a valid response and you do not need to explain why.
Stay tuned for more tips and some festive freebies over the month of November.
In Joy
