A different way to end the year...

Life feels full right now. Christmas parties, shopping, preparing food - while also trying to wrap things up at work before the pause. Time speeds up as we rush toward one day, often working ourselves into the ground along the way.

Over the past few emails, I’ve shared that I’m approaching the end of this year differently.
I’m not feeling the pull to rush.
I’m not cramming my schedule.
I’m letting flow lead the way.

And something really beautiful is unfolding because of that.

Lately, I’ve been having a lot of clarifying conversations. Things that might once have stayed hazy, or quietly brewed into confusion, are now being spoken about with care and honesty. “Confrontation” used to feel heavy for me. Now, speaking up feels more like opening a door early, while the issue is still small and solvable. Life is getting easier. Truly.

I’m also not sweating the small stuff. When something hints at triggering a reaction, I pause. I breathe, and I ask a simple, liberating question:

Is this worth it?
Worth my energy? My focus? My emotional bandwidth?

Most of the time, the answer is no, and I move on to something better. And when the answer is yes, I fully commit to the conversation, the decision, the task at hand. More energy into what matters. Less into what doesn’t. It’s incredibly freeing.

I’ve also noticed this: if I’m trying to squeeze something into my schedule, it probably doesn’t belong there. Rushing is my least favourite state. I’ll happily wake up earlier just to avoid that feeling of being behind.

This is how I relate to time - I want space. Space to enjoy, reflect, adjust, learn, and appreciate. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, try removing one task from your day. Maybe two. Whatever consistently doesn’t get done likely wasn’t essential in the first place.

The consumerism of this season has never really landed well for me. I soften it by shopping small and local, from real people I know or encounter. That way, when I give a gift, it feels good on many levels. Less pressure, more alignment.

People need less stuff and more quality of life, more presence and care. Don’t feel obliged to add to clutter, or to the bank accounts of the super-rich. When your spending feels aligned, the energy exchanged through giving changes completely. Everyone feels it.

And finally, we recently adopted two kittens. Highly recommended. A few furry balls of mischief have a remarkable way of anchoring you in the present moment and reminding you what actually matters. I’m getting less “done”, and my priorities feel clearer than ever.

As we move toward the end of the Harvest and into the quieter energy of Winter, allow yourself to slow. Let your body soften. Let your attention turn inward. This season offers a natural rhythm, one that supports reflection, restoration, and a more sustainable way of living. If we listen, it shows us how to live with more ease and more joy.

I’d love to hear what this season is stirring for you.
Hit reply and tell me what you’re doing, or not doing, this month.

Sending blessings for peace, presence, and joy,
- Jennifer
