Ever noticed how the run-up to December can sneak up on you?
I find this is about the time of year when people who arrived at their summer hols completely knackered look back and think, “That’s when I should have taken a step back … put things in perspective, rationalised my priorities, or simply deleted something off the to-do list until the new year.”
We seem to treat the end of the calendar year here in New Zealand as some kind of armageddon or reckoning around completion – as if everything has to be done by then in order to feel sufficiently successful or to have earned a long holiday. Finishing satisfied is great, but what kind of balance could you strike between now and then – between great action and keeping yourself well – so that it’s satisfaction, not exhaustion, you’re nursing as you tuck into your summer BBQ?
With all this said, this is a great time to check in with yourself:
How would you like to feel when you arrive at the summer hols?
How do you want the next couple of months to go?
If you’re in good shape, focus on what will help you stay that way.
If you’re feeling stretched, this might be the time to pause and re-evaluate – what’s on your plate, how your week is structured, and what helps you recharge?
If you really want to front-foot your arrival into summer feeling fantastic, you have a couple of options:
Wellbeing Strategy Session
If you were crawling to the finish line last year, this is for you. We’ll take stock of where you are and plug in small but powerful strategies to help you regain (or maintain) balance in the weeks ahead. Small because you don’t need any more complexity or to-dos – just a few smart shifts that can make a big difference to your energy, wellbeing, and yes, your satisfaction. Includes 60 minute session and supporting materials.
Get in touch to book yours and arrive at summer thriving, not knackered.
21-Day Brilliant Balance Coaching
Alternatively, if you’re ready for an even more thorough reset right now, this 1:1 programme is your kick-start to a new normal. Over three weeks, you’ll get:
– Three Zoom sessions: 1 x 90 mins, 2 x 60 mins
– Supporting materials tailored for you
– Email and chat access to me throughout
Check it out here.
Why not spend the rest of the year on purpose – but not on the hamster wheel. And make the next couple of months yours.
