I don\u2019t know about you but I\u2019m finding it hard to believe that Christmas is only 5 days away. December always seems to disappear in a haze of end-of-year deadlines and festive activities.<\/p>

As much as I love Christmas and the holidays, I always look forward to New Year more. Partly because of the \u2018clean slate\u2019 atmosphere (I just love that new-exercise-book, back-to-school feeling) but also partly because it means the \u2018silly season\u2019 is over for another year.<\/p>

As an introvert and a highly sensitive person, the intense amount of socialising around this time of year always leaves me drained, even when that socialising is with my dearest loved ones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve come to realise the importance of self-care at the best of times, but most especially when life is more intense than usual.<\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not only does it mean I am more able to cope in tough times and enjoy the good times, but I\u2019m also more able to show up for and support those around me too.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t pour from an empty cup, after all. So I\u2019ve compiled a few tips to help you fill your own cup at this busy time of year:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Carve out some time and space for solitude and reflection each day. This is especially important if you are an introvert, because introverts need alone time to recharge. It\u2019s doubly important if you are a guest in someone else\u2019s home or have guests in your own home over the holidays, as your normal routines will be disrupted and there will be extra social pressures. However even if that doesn\u2019t apply to you, it is still a great time of year to make time for a little introspection. Take some time to reflect on the highs and lows of the year that has passed, and look towards your hopes and goals for next year.<\/li>\n
  2. Acknowledge your feelings. This can be a very difficult time emotionally, especially if you or those close to you are dealing with illness, grief or difficult family dynamics. Meanwhile, there are messages from all around telling us that we should be joyful and merry and bright, which can be especially jarring if, instead, it feels like the least wonderful time of the year. If this is you, don\u2019t fight it. Let the people around you know how you are feeling so that they can support you if that\u2019s what would help. There is no right or wrong way to feel, despite what the commercials say!<\/li>\n
  3. Carefully curate the media you expose yourself to. Amidst the Christmas movies and the cricket that fill the airwaves at this time of year, there is often a glut of news stories that leave me with a bad taste in my mouth. From the incredible amount of advertising disguised as news to the frequent reminders about distressing world events, being plugged into the media all day, everyday over the holidays can be an added drain on your emotional energy. If you are already full to the brim, give yourself permission to simply unplug for a few days. Unfollow people on social media that bring you down and avoid leaving the TV on all day, bombarding you with stories designed to make you worry more and spend big. If you absolutely have to stay abreast of current events, set yourself some designated times to check the headlines (e.g. the nightly news) and then bring your awareness back to the people and places around you.<\/li>\n
  4. Listen to your body. I\u2019m not about to tell you how to eat or move or sleep or think or breathe, because there is no one size approach that fits all. However, I do believe that it is important to be tuned in to the messages your body is sending and to respond accordingly. Perhaps it is asking for some more greens on your plate or a gentle jog before dinner. Maybe it\u2019s telling you to have an extra piece of Gran\u2019s glazed ham and that you are really worn out so you should rest as much as possible (i.e. more sleeping and less jogging!). It\u2019s also common for people to throw all caution to the wind and completely over-indulge, and if that\u2019s what you choose to do, all I\u2019m suggesting is to do so consciously. That way, you\u2019re far less likely to beat yourself up later, which serves nobody, least of all you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    May you have a safe and self-care filled silly season, however you choose to spend it.<\/p>\n
