Tiny Wins for a Calmer Christmas
December can feel like one long to-do list.
Presents to buy, wrap and hide. The food shop. Who’s going where. Trying to make it magical for the children while remembering all the things that apparently make it magical.
And somewhere in all of that, you’d quite like to enjoy it too.
You can love Christmas and still find it a lot. You can be excited about making memories and wish someone else would do a bit more of the thinking.
Tiny Wins for a Calmer Christmas is a little bit of support for you in amongst all of that.
12 simple, three-minute resets to help you get out of your head, feel a little calmer and work out what you actually need when everything feels too much.
So you have something to reach for when…
✨ You’re getting overwhelmed in the supermarket and need a moment to gather yourself before carrying on.
✨ You’ve finally sat down, but your brain is still wrapping presents, planning lunch and remembering who you haven’t bought for.
✨ You want to say “we’re keeping it small this year” and need a little help with the guilt that comes afterwards.
✨ You catch yourself mentally checking the next job on Christmas morning and want to come back to what’s happening in front of you.
✨ It’s all over, you’re exhausted, and you need a bit of space to come down from it all.
The jobs won’t magically disappear. But having a way to pause can help you feel less caught up in them, with a bit more room to enjoy the Christmas you’re putting so much into.
What’s inside
🤍 12 three-minute resets, organised by how you’re feeling. Head too full? Everything too loud? Feeling like you’re not doing enough? Find the page that fits.
💡 Clear steps and an explanation of why each one can help. When you’re already overwhelmed, you don’t need another thing to work out.
💌 Permission slips for a Good Enough Christmas. For those moments when you need reminding that you’re allowed to make things easier.
👶 A gentle page for your first Christmas as a mum. There can be a lot of feelings wrapped up in that one.
🎄 A little Christmas tree to colour in as you go. A reminder of the moments you’ve made a bit of room for yourself, too.
Something to help, whenever you need it
You don’t need to start on 1 December or work through it in order. You might use the same page five times and leave the others for another day.
Open it on your phone, find what sounds like you and try one thing. That’s all you need to do.
A little bit about me
I’m Jodie, a mum with an ADHD brain and 13 years of figuring out how to look after my own mental health.
I’ve trained in breathwork, sleep and nervous system regulation, but I also know that remembering what might help is much harder when you’re in the middle of feeling overwhelmed.
This is my first Christmas as a mum too. I’m really looking forward to it, and I’m also aware that I could spend so much time trying to make it lovely that I forget to enjoy it myself.
I made this because I want some small, practical ways to come back to myself in those moments. I thought you might like them too.
Want somewhere to put all the Christmas jobs, too?
The Calmer Christmas Bundle includes this guide plus a ready-made Trello planner for your presents, food shop, budget and plans, so the list can live somewhere other than your head.
