The countdown to Christmas has begun!
How many of you are thinking about your to-do lists?
Presents to buy.
Deadlines to meet.
Family to accommodate.
A lot of my clients feel that significant changes to their routine, like Christmas, can be very stressful...
Not just because of the additional things to tick off their mental "lists", but because work has suddenly stopped dead when they were going full-steam-ahead!
Lots of my clients also feel completely at a loss in that period between Boxing Day and New Year.
Secretly, they would rather be at work.
They might sneakily check their emails of an evening (and inevitably get stressed out thinking about what's waiting for them when they go back).
Or they might try and do a bit of work to "get ahead" of the January rush.
The term "workaholic" might get thrown around in their household.
Our life experiences impact the different masks we wear around friends, family and colleagues.
If what I've just said has struck a chord with you, we should have a conversation about counselling.
Anna.
