One thing you *must* pack for the festive season. Created by Dr Stewart Desson and I, we had a lot of fun creating this. It's an oldie, and a goodie. Tune in and discover: 1. The 1 thing to pack for the holidays 2. Our definition of it, what it means. 3. Three top tips of how to put it into action with your family and friends. Let me know what you think, what else would you pack for the festive season?

🎄 December reminder 🎄 You cannot do all of the things for all of the people. That’s true at any time of year but ESPECIALLY at this time of year. It’s totally unrealistic to get everything finished before the festive break. It’s a recipe for overwhelm and sickness when you do finally sit down for Christmas dinner. From a work point of view, take stock now and start to manage your own expectations of yourself. It can help to see the holiday not as an end point, but as a pause point that can be restarted again in January. Here’s how: 🎄        Write a list of everything you think you need to do 🎄        Put all the actions into three categories: must do, would be nice to do, can wait until January 🎄        Delegate as many of the “must do’s” as possible 🎄        Schedule the rest of the “must do’s” into your own calendar, and only tackle the “would be nice to do’s” if there is any space left Hopefully that will help you manage your own expectations of what you can do in the time available. If you can, leave your last afternoon clear for any unexpected “must do’s”. If you’re lucky there won’t be too many of those and you can start early on the mulled wine! #PublicRelations #Communications #Training 

EVERY. SINGLE. THING. I. NEED. TO. DO (or Remember). GOES. INTO. MY. DIARY. My digital diary (combined with the technique of time blocking) truly is my SUPERPOWER! It's my second brain, and I couldn't live without it in both my personal life and my businesses. It's all about being my future best friend and planning out exactly what I need to do to live to my core values. Here is a simple example relevant to the festive season...every year when I pack away all my Christmas decorations I create a calendar event letting myself know where I have hidden the dreaded elves for next year. Do you use a digital calendar in your personal life? Have you tried time blocking?

Here is my thought when I saw this first time. 1. It is a word game and all those numbers have a length of 26. By coincidence? Not. Must be a relationship between the English alphabet and the words we want to solve. 2. Those number looks very familiar, I have seen them so many times before, Let's ask AI about them. Here is the answer I got from the AI. The number 3.14159265358477623836260388 appears to be a numerical approximation of 𝜋...The sequence 3.14159265358477623836260388 seems to be either a rounded, truncated, or slightly inaccurate approximation of 𝜋 3. Typos? Aha, not. you can't make typos to all those 3 numbers in one question. Those errors (differences) are the information (keys) the person want to give us as a hint. 4. Try all combinations of the differences and positions in different way to see if we can get some English words that make sense, particularly related to Christmas as this the game is designed for.

Here are some printable mindfulness activities to help encourage a sense of gratitude and peace during the holiday period 💙
