Decorations Up ✅ Matching PJs ✅ Gifts wrapped ✅ Festive movies watched ✅ Cookies and cakes baked ✅ Festive crafts ✅ When we see festive movies or scroll through social media there are all these expectations of how to make it ‘perfect’. In reality it doesn’t work like that, especially if we are caring for someone. Sometimes, traditions that your family have had for many years may need to change or stop all together. Letting go of expectations and enjoying the festive season that works for you and the person you care for can make it a lot less stressful. Every family is different, and everyone’s festivities will be different too, especially when you are caring. Remember to be flexible as well. If one thing isn’t working, try something else. Do what works for you, not what others expect! It's always worth having a plan B, and be prepared to change your plans if a particular element isn't working. Do you have a plan B this year? Let us know your thoughts below. ⬇️ #CopingDuringTheFestiveSeason #CaringAtChristmas #CopingAtChristmas #CaringDuringTheFestiveHoliday

Creating space to be present and find joy over the coming festive period Before launching headlong into the frantic festive busyness. Take a moment and pause… Which of the upcoming interactions will bring you the most joy? What do you need to do to make sure you are fully present and able to experience the moment? Are there any ways of taking a few things off your festive list, to create a little more space to relax and enjoy the festivities? And… If you are a person who thrives on the frantic energy of Christmas. How will you take a moment to feel the joy of it? Whatever you choose to do, I hope you manage to find peace and joy in your festive interactions Happy Christmas x #FeelTheMoment #MindfulChristmas #TotallyPresent #ActiveListening #EmotionallyAvailable

The weekend is as good a day as any to make this post. And the festive season, the most opportune time... Let's remind ourselves about safe alcohol consumption. For men, < 14 units/week. Ladies should limit to < 7 units/week. Then comes the relevant question, what constitutes a unit? Here: 1. A pint (that's roughly 550ml) of beer with 4%ABV = 2 units. 2. 125ml glass of 12.5% wine = 1.5 units. Naturally 250ml will be? You guessed it, 3 units! 3. 25ml (commonly a 'tot') measure of 40% ABV spirit = 1 unit. Now you've been empowered. Indulge responsibly. Happy festivities.

The key to enjoying and celebrating the Festive season is to focus on simple acts of kindness. No family is the same, and Christmas does not have to be one specific, traditional way. Ask about different festive cultural traditions in your family and blend these diverse elements. For example - share some recipes, listen to different holiday music, or adopt customs. These small acts of kindness - not just giving gifts - but sharing, and appreciating one another will bring everyone closer together. Create an open space for conversation and understanding - acknowledge changes that have happened in the family, and ask others how they feel about it. Celebrate the uniqueness of your family and create new traditions, together.

2055: Gratitude Festive Wishes for Dasara to All My Friends! On this day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all instruments, automobiles, and other valuable equipment. Only with these tools, apparatus, vehicles, and weapons will we be successful in our respective domains. As a result, today is definitely the day to spend quality time with all of them by offering garlands, essence sticks, deep cleaning, and getting all of the rest they need. This is built on multiple generations of customs and rituals. A simple question: Why do this only once a year? Why not do it more frequently, putting social media aside and incorporating the next generation of energetic individuals in the process. It's a lovely thing to express gratitude to the non-living things that sustain us. Consider dedicating a special time each week to care for these instruments that sustain our work and life. While the tradition of honoring them once a year made sense in the past, today we rely on them constantly—so our appreciation should reflect their increased importance. Show gratitude not just once, but multiple times, for both living and non-living entities that help you along the way. You may not own everything, but you may rent or hire it for a period of time (Taxi, SaaS and alike), and it will be extremely valuable in all of your endeavors. According to me, this will be the genuine festivities of Dasara, the festival of appreciation, esteem, respect, and acknowledgment, to name a few. 

Day 17 of my fabulous Christmas Jumpers🎄✨ Today I'm wrapped up in this delightfully soft pink number, adorned with sparkly gift bows - because sometimes the greatest gift we can give ourselves is a little kindness! Speaking of gifts, let's unwrap something special: self-compassion. Just like this cosy jumper gives me a warm hug, being gentle with ourselves can feel like wrapping our minds in comfort and understanding. Remember, you wouldn't scold a friend for taking a breather during Christmas shopping, or criticise them for buying ready-made mince pies - so why not extend that same kindness to yourself? Think of self-compassion as your personal Christmas present - no queuing required, and it's always the perfect fit! Whether it's saying no to that extra commitment, having a duvet day with your favourite festive film, or simply acknowledging that you're doing your best - you deserve that kindness. What's your favourite way to show yourself some compassion during the festive season? Share your self-care moments below! 👇 #MentalHealthMatters #ChristmasJumperChallenge #SelfCompassion #WellbeingWinter #MHIB #mentalhealthinbusiness

"Durga Puja is a celebration for everyone—it's not just for the middle class or the affluent, but also for the hardworking vendors who bring life to the festivities. They are an integral part of the season, yet often go unnoticed. This Puja, let's extend our gratitude to them with small gestures of kindness and support. At TravelLikes_Me, we believe in making every moment count, and that includes how we show love and appreciation through thoughtful gifts. Whether it's for family, friends, or colleagues, our range of travel accessories are perfect for those looking for meaningful gifting options. We're also calling on brands that share our values to collaborate with us this festive season. Together, we can spread the message of empathy, unity, and thoughtful gifting. Let’s join hands in supporting the people who make Durga Puja special, and in offering customers gifts that are more than just products—they’re a way to show we care. Let’s connect and make a difference, together." #DurgaPujaCelebrations #InclusiveFestivities #SupportLocalVendors #GiftThoughtfully #CollaborateWithTravelLikesMe #EmpowerSmallBusinesses #SpreadJoyThroughGifting #CelebrateWithAll #PartnershipOpportunities #CommunityEngagement

Day 11 of my Christmas Jumper Extravaganza! 🎄 I am sporting my festive feline friend today - looking as chilled and content as we all deserve to be this season! Let's have a cosy chat about expectations, shall we? Like this laid-back kitty on my jumper, sometimes the best approach to Christmas is keeping things wonderfully simple. There is no need for every moment to be picture-perfect or every mince pie to be homemade! The most magical moments often happen when we take the pressure off and embrace the perfectly imperfect nature of the season. Maybe the turkey's a bit dry, or the fairy lights won't untangle - but these often become the stories we laugh about later! Remember: your Christmas doesn't need to look like anyone else's to be special. Sometimes the best gift we can give ourselves is permission to do things our own way. What's one expectation you're letting go of this festive season? Pop it in the comments below! 👇 #MentalHealthMatters #ChristmasJumperChallenge #RealityCheck #WellbeingWinter #MHIB
