You Can't Run a Marathon in an Hour

But you can walk a mile. Do that.

It's December 1st and there's no doubt, the next few weeks will include all kinds of craziness, stresses, and hopefully joyfulness. And a bit of overwhelm too.

Overwhelm usually occurs when you realize (or believe) you’ve taken too much on.
The To Do List is pages. The gifts. What to buy… The cards! Should we just not send this year and do a Facebook post saying ‘we’ve given the money to charity’ instead? And we still haven’t decided where we’re going on the ‘big day’.

Where to start?
And it’s only December 1st. Yes, it’s the official start of the festive season. Noddy has screamed, ‘IIIIIt'sss Chriiiiiistmaaaas!’ and John Lewis has made me cry (again).

You have 24 days. Not to run a marathon, but perhaps to walk one. A mile a day (and a couple of extras on weekends). Please be kind to yourself while you're thinking about being kind to others. Remember, you can’t be better for others unless you're better for yourself. First.
