The season of overwhelm and having too much to do has well and truly begun, and we are all beginning to feel the building excitement and pressure, set against an uncertain backdrop.
Offer yourself the best self-care you can and utilise the maiden’s superpower of planning and organisation to streamline your holiday season… gifts and cards, family visits, events and parties, meal planning, and everything else in-between. Self-care sometimes means a long soak in the bath, at other times it means doing the hard things that will help your future self.
Now is the time to allow your list making to go into overdrive, so that the other phases can enjoy their time without Christmas panic and anxiety setting in. Just don’t forget to carve out small moments of reconnection to yourself and to the natural world so the true beauty of the season doesn’t get lost in all the bustle.
