Prioritise Your Wellbeing This Christmas
The holiday season is upon us! For many, Christmas is a time of joy, celebration, and connection. But let’s be real—it can also be a little overwhelming. Work deadlines pile up, family expectations grow, finances get stretched, and the pressures to make everything perfect can weigh heavily on us.
That’s why it’s so important to focus on your wellbeing during this busy time of year. Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s the key to showing up for others with the energy, patience, and joy the season deserves.
Your Wellbeing Matters - Now More Than Ever
When life gets hectic, we tend to put our own needs last. You might be thinking, ‘Sure, but there’s no time for me when I have so much to do!’ We tell ourselves, ‘I’ll rest later,’ or, ‘I just need to get through this.’ And I get it. It’s easy to put yourself last on the list, especially when everyone else seems to need you.
But here’s the thing: when your wellbeing is neglected, it’s not just you who feels the strain. It ripples into your relationships, your work, and your ability to truly enjoy the festive season.
So, let’s flip the script. This Christmas, let’s make you a priority—starting with a simple but powerful wellbeing exercise.
A Simple Wellbeing Exercise
Take a piece of paper (or the Notes app on your phone) and write down everything weighing on your mind as Christmas approaches.
Ask yourself:
🌸What are my biggest stresses right now?
🌸Are there worries about work or upcoming deadlines?
🌸Do family dynamics feel tricky to navigate?
🌸Do family gatherings feel more stressful than joyful?
🌸Is money a source of anxiety this year?
🌸Are relationships adding to my stress instead of filling my cup?
Once you’ve written it all down, take a deep breath.
Putting your thoughts down on paper can be incredibly freeing. It takes the swirling thoughts out of your head and makes them tangible, giving you a sense of control. This list isn’t about solving everything all at once—it’s about acknowledging what’s there. From there, you can begin to prioritise and tackle one thing at a time.
Once you’ve identified your stresses, ask yourself:
🌸What’s one thing I can do to make this easier on myself?
🌸Who can I lean on for support?
Remember, you don’t have to solve everything at once. Sometimes, just acknowledging your feelings and making a small plan can make a big difference.
Tools to Support Your Wellbeing
If you’re looking for more ways to strengthen your wellbeing—not just for Christmas but long-term—I’d love to introduce you to my Workbench for the Mind program. It’s designed to give you practical tools to navigate life’s challenges, align your actions with your values, and build emotional resilience.
And it all starts with wellbeing.
W in WORKBENCH stands for Wellbeing because looking after yourself is the foundation for everything else. It’s about recognising your worth, setting boundaries, and giving yourself permission to rest, recharge, and grow.
Inspired by the idea that your mind is like a workshop, this program provides practical tools to help you manage life’s challenges, align your values, and build emotional resilience—all starting with your wellbeing.

As Christmas approaches, remember this: you are not your to-do list. You are not defined by the gifts you buy, the meals you prepare, or the roles you play for others.
Take the time to prioritise your wellbeing, and watch how it transforms the way you experience the holidays.
Because you matter.
Your wellbeing matters.
And when you take care of yourself first, you can show up for the season with more joy, ease, and presence.
So let’s start with you.
Write down your stresses, give yourself permission to feel, and take a small step toward prioritising your wellbeing today.
I look forward to seeing you at the free session or hearing how the workbook has helped you.
Let’s make this Christmas about more than giving—it’s about living. ❤️
🌸Suzi
