The Christmas marathon has officially started.
We are heading into the weeks where we spend a lot of time looking after everyone else; buying, wrapping, organising, and hosting.
It’s easy to start sprinting now and have nothing left in the tank by the 25th.
I’ve uploaded a free audio practice to the website today to help with exactly this. It’s formally called 'Meeting Yourself With Kindness', but I like to think of it as 'The Oxygen Mask'.
I originally recorded this for professional surf instructors. The rule is simple: if the instructor is cold or exhausted, they can't keep the group safe. You have to put your own oxygen mask on first to be of any use to anyone else.
It’s a short (6-minute) guided session and it's completely free to listen to here:

Give yourself 6 minutes tonight. You deserve it.
