\u201cThere\u2019s truth in the saying, \u2018The final stretch is the toughest\u2019. For many, this holds especially true during the last weeks of December. Getting up in the dark to head to work\u2014dealing with traffic jams, packed buses or trains, or braving the cold on your bike\u2014only to return home at dusk or even later.
Work is demanding, the kids need attention, and the holiday preparations are in full swing. During this time of year, it can feel like you\u2019re juggling more balls than ever.
That\u2019s why, in this dark December month, it\u2019s all the more important to take good care of yourself. That means finding moments of light and creating space for rest.
How do you do that? As a coaching agency, we\u2019re happy to share a few tips!\u201d <\/p>\n

Begin with the end in mind <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Especially during times that feel (too) overwhelming or full, it\u2019s important to focus on the result you want to achieve. Planning to host a big Christmas dinner? Then visualise the happy faces around the table and the warmth of being together. That image brings positive energy\u2014whether you’re picking out recipes or doing the grocery shopping. <\/p>\n

Press pause on yourself now and then <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It only takes a minute\u2014ideally a few times a day. Use that minute to bring your attention to your body. Notice your feet on the floor, your fingers on the keyboard, or your back against the chair. These are micro-moments of physical relaxation.
Do you often forget to take these small pauses? Set reminders on your phone, or ask someone to help you remember. <\/p>\n

Taking stock

December kenmerkt zich ook door de start van de winter op 21 december. De winter gaat over afbouwen, afronden, stilte en de balans op mogen maken. Deze periode leent zich dus bij uitstek om mindful stil te staan bij het afgelopen jaar. Daarbij kun je bijvoorbeeld de volgende vragen in gedachten nemen: <\/p>\n
