December can feel so overwhelming because there is pressure from everywhere. Family, end of year feelings and of course, financial too. To combat this, why not try the “Three-Minute Dump-and-Do” : Minute 1 — Dump: Everything that’s stressing you. No censoring. Let it spill. Minute 2 — Circle: Circle the 1–2 things that genuinely need your attention today. Minute 3 — Do: Write one small action you’ll take for each. 3 minutes! That’s it! If you need a Prompt for Today, try this. Write for 5 minutes and answer this questions... “What am I worrying about that probably doesn’t matter as much as I think?” Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too.
