For my last blog post of 2021, there are a few things that I wish I could magic into your Christmas stockings this year. If I was able to send Twelve Days of Christmas wishes to each and every one of you, this is what I would send (sing it with me. Yes it does scan. Honest):
Bag of self-forgiveness
Bag of self-acceptance
Fewer obligations
Joyful, grateful outlook
Excessive kindness
Dancing, laughing, singing
A weekend doing nothing
altogether now: “Some F*cking FUN!”
Mental health support
Feeling safe and warm
Treats and gifts galore
And a sack-full of loving self worth.
Unfortunately, my Santa powers are not that strong. So how about this for a deal: I will keep sending you podcasts and blogs next year, and you will make a plan to give the above to yourself?
Wishing you all the very best for a joyful and restful Christmas. Helen x
