Why you shouldn’t slow down this Christmas

Why you shouldn’t slow down this Christmas

I’m already hearing people putting stuff off until 2017 because, ‘Let’s get Christmas out of the way first’ is creeping in. How about flipping it and going for a final push? In the next two weeks, you could:

  • Do a deal – a friend of mine drove 400 miles to see a potential business partner on Christmas Eve, did the deal and in the three years following, made millions.

  • Shift some weight – who says the diet should start in January? I bet you lose a few pounds in the next 15 days if you wanted to.

  • Make that call – you know that one you’ve been putting off? Yes, that one. Go on, pick up the phone and do it.

  • Have a clear out – as the decorations go up, it’s a perfect time to fill some bags for the charity shop or have a trip to the dump.

  • Start writing your journal – lots of people start writing a journal in January only for the habit to fade by February. If you start now, you’ll capture lots of Christmas memories and kickstart the habit.

  • Put yourself first – Ok, I’m sure there are lots of readers who think this is the least likely time of the year to do this. However, can I challenge you to create a little bit of ‘me time’ every day? Just sit, breathe and be thankful.

Only a couple of weeks to go! Be Brilliant!
