How to protect your health this Christmas (Without ripping up the rule book)
Do you feel like the Christmas season inevitably means sacrificing your health?
“How you care for yourself in December shapes how you arrive in January. Not with remorse or exhaustion, but with a quiet sense of pride that you showed up for yourself in the small moments — the ones that matter more than you realise. Get intentional with your energy. Give yourself what you genuinely need, not what the month demands of you.”
— Nicola Farndell
