This Week's Reflection

 

There's a lot to be said for slowing down. For starters, it might just slow down your heartrate! It might reduce your blood pressure. It might give you a better appreciation of the moment and being alive in it.

 

And, whilst year-end and new year are artificial - they're only dates in the calendar - there is a unique quality to these few days right now because, unlike almost any other time of year, most people are taking a break from the madness of ordinary everyday work - most people!

 

That means, at the very least, that you don't have the normal workaday pressures weighing on you. Appreciated that, take advantage of it by giving yourself the necessary luxury of doing a little nothing, you have the time.

 

And, even if you're overrun by family right now (it's not unusual and it's not unusual for it to be stressful), appreciate those who've turned up, even if they don't know how to behave themselves (that's not unusual either!).

 

Over these few days, you have an unusual opportunity to look after the most important person in your life... you. Profit from it.
