Just winding down for the holidays, and loving the Christmas tree at home this year!
I want to wish you a really happy, relaxing and peaceful holidays, and also thank you for being a part of my nudgeme world. In these days of everyone fighting for our attention, I really appreciate the time you spend with me.
I hope you have got something out of my nudges during the year and found them useful.
Gentle nudge …
My gentle nudge going into the holidays would be simply this.
To remember that we are all doing the very best we can with the level of thinking that looks real to us in any moment … until it doesn’t. (Aka cut yourself and the people you love some slack.)
And to trust in that deeper part inside all of us where our innate wisdom resides, and is always working away for us … even in those times when stressful situations, or worry for loved ones, might be causing us to feel otherwise.
That wisdom, or intelligence of our true nature, is constantly providing us with a never ending source of fresh thought, creativity and resilience. And, as I’ve come to know, comes through more easily when our minds are quieter.
So when your thinking starts to get stirred up or triggered over the holidays, I find it comforting to see there is only one thing to remember. Give your thinking some space to settle down, and, in that space, you’ll allow for better, wiser thought to come through, which invariably leads to knowing just what to do.
All best wishes for now.

PS Look forward to being in touch again in 2020 about my new e.book of nudges for living more in your life and less in your thoughts in the new decade! I’ll be launching my virtual book club for it, probably kicking off around 20 January, and promise, not a New Year’s resolution in sight!
PPS I am even more conscious this year that Christmas (and other holidays celebrated) are not always the easiest of times. If you are struggling at the minute, my hope is this nudge will provide some comfort, and perhaps a new perspective for experiencing a different relationship with your thoughts. I share more on this in a short e.mail series of nudges here, which you might find helpful.
