Dec 19

As December winds down, the beautiful chaos of Christmas fades, we are left with a brief moment of peace before the new year begins.

December 26th is the one day I let myself linger in my pajamas without any guilt, soaking in the quiet after the festive rush.

To help you unwind and embrace this restful time, I’ve compiled a list of simple prompts to guide you through the final week of December—hopefully keeping your chore list at bay:

Light a candle and let its soft glow fill the room with warmth and tranquility.
Steep a cup of your favorite tea and savor the comfort it brings.
Grab a soft blanket, curl up with a good book, and let yourself relax.
Bundle up and take a peaceful winter walk, breathing in the crisp air and enjoying the stillness.
Slip on your coziest socks and settle in for a favourite movie or show.
Create a playlist of relaxing melodies to set a peaceful atmosphere.
Do a slow stretch routine, calming your mind and body for a moment of stillness.
Begin a favorite project you’ve been dreaming of but haven’t had time to start.
Write in your journal, reflecting on the blessings of the past year with a gratitude list.

I wish you a blessed and peaceful final week of December as you soak in the quiet before the new year begins.
