This is a beautiful time of year and for many it’s the best time of year. This is a time for family and friends. 

It’s also a very stressful time of year. Statistically, it’s the most stressful time of the year. So, how do we make time for ourselves, honor our boundaries, and feel more rested and relaxed without feeling burnt out?

Tomorrow begins the 12 Days Of Christmas. You may have thought the 12 days came before Christmas, but Christmas day marks the first day of Twelvetide; another name for the festive Christmas season. To celebrate this holiday time we offer a gift to help keep burnout as far away from you as possible.

That’s right, 12 days you can make your own with our 12 Days Of Christmas Journal filled with 12 days of self-care and mindfulness ideas designed to help you slow down, take stock of what’s important, and keep you enjoying the festive season.

Begin by thinking about what you are grateful for this holiday season. Write down some thoughts or draw an image of how you feel, or even cut out some pictures (or print them from your computer) and make a gratitude collage. Each day is another opportunity to be mindful, take some time for yourself, and be creatively expressive.
