Take a Moment for Your Energy This Holiday Season
The holiday season can be overwhelming, filled with expectations, extra tasks, and constant movement. Pausing to check in with your energy creates space for clarity, focus, and small wins that carry into the New Year.
This week’s focus: Energy Audit
This week’s focus is an Energy Audit. December has a habit of stretching people thinner than they realise, so this theme helps you look at where your energy is leaking and where it’s being restored. The talking points below set the direction for the week, and the podcast goes deeper with guided reflection, breathing and a practical shift you can apply straight away.
Energy Audit Talking Points:
The impact of unmanaged drains - A look at how people, habits, routines and seasonal pressures can pull energy without being noticed, especially in the lead-up to Christmas.
Recognising and protecting the things that fuel you - Exploring the small stabilisers that keep you grounded during festive chaos and early new year planning.
Creating one intentional shift for the week ahead - Highlighting how a single decisive action can strengthen mental or physical energy as you move through December and towards January.

Podcast
The talking points give a clear overview, but the podcast offers a deeper experience. The audio guides people through the breathing, the reflection and the internal shifts in a way that written text can’t. It gives space to think and actually process what drains them and what supports them, especially during a hectic month. The podcast takes the work further so the insight becomes something they can apply in real life. Click here to listen to the podcast episode. New episodes drop every Sunday at 7pm.

Final Thoughts
An energy audit can be one of the most valuable practices during this time of year. The festive season brings pressure, pace and expectation, which makes it easy for old habits and draining patterns to slip back in unnoticed. Taking a moment to recognise what lifts you and what weighs you down creates a clearer path into the new year.
Small, intentional changes build real momentum. Whether you focus on one energy drain, strengthen one supportive habit, or try a single new action this week, it all contributes to a steadier mindset and a stronger sense of direction.
If you want to explore this theme more deeply, the podcast episode walks you through a guided process that helps these reflections land in a practical, meaningful way.
Until next time, protect your energy, protect your peace this Christmas.
