🎄 Lux Therapy Advent Calendar Day 29
“Today’s Mental Wellbeing Gift: The ‘Nearly New Year’ Negotiation”
We’ve reached that funny part of December where no one knows what day it is, what they’re supposed to be doing,
or why there are still Quality Street wrappers everywhere.
So today’s tool is a playful one with a sneaky therapeutic twist:
⭐ The ‘Nearly New Year’ Negotiation
When you catch yourself thinking:
“I should be doing more…” try negotiating with yourself.
Ask:
“What’s the minimum I can do today that future-me will appreciate?”
Maybe it’s:
Putting one thing away
Sending one message
Drinking one actual glass of water
Choosing one gentle thought over a harsh one
Then reward yourself as if you’ve climbed Everest.
Because in this weird week between worlds…
every small win is an achievement. 😉
