How To Avoid Christmas Comparison

The wonder and magic of Christmas that the movies and songs and social media portray to us, just isn’t a reality for most people and while Christmas can definitely be a time for joy and family and traditions, for a lot of people it’s incredibly difficult. If this sounds familiar, please know that you’re not alone, and in this episode I share practical guidance to help pull you out of the Christmas Comparison Spiral so that your Christmas can be as enjoyable, fulfilling and meaningful as possible. Key Takeaways: 
 There’s two things which form the foundation of a challenging Christmas time for just about everyone, and they are expectation and comparison. 
When our realities aren’t meeting our expectation or the expectations that society has put on us, then we get sucked into comparison which makes us feel jealous, inadequate, insecure, & lonely
Most families and people will experience a level of pain or discomfort on Christmas but most people aren’t posting the sadness, or the arguments or the tears. You only see the highlights.
Practicing gratitude reminds us to acknowledge, appreciate & focus on the things that we do have, rather than the things that we don’t.
When jealousy starts to bubble up is to turn it into inspiration and be inspired to take action and make some changes which will get you closer the the situation or circumstance you are feeling envious of. 
We all experience setbacks and challenges and really bad shit in life, but we don’t all experience it at the same time. We’re all on our own journey through life dealing with the struggles and every year Christmas is going to be different for everyone
Stop Christmas comparison by reducing your time on social media and increasing your time doing  more meaningful things like spending time with loved ones, relaxing & recharging & preparing to make 2024 your most meaningful year yet. 
Volunteering and giving to charity is a great way to reduce Christmas Comparison and will have a huge impact on your sense of gratitude, empathy and appreciation for the wonderful things you have in life

5 Simple Strategies to Reduce Procrastination and Increase Productivity

Procrastination is intentionally delaying or postponing tasks and responsibilities and we are all guilty of it! But the interesting thing about procrastination, is that it actually doesn’t have anything to do with what the task is, procrastination is all about how the task makes us feel. 
This episode dives into why we are all so prone to procrastination and offers some useful strategies to help you reduce it. 
Key Learning Takeaways: 
The main reason why we procrastinate so often is because of the Present Bias - as humans, we are more likely to prioritize immediate rewards than future payoffs. So we make decisions which make the present moment easier, more pleasurable even if it’s going to cause us greater harm in the future. 
5 simple strategies you can use to help reduce procrastination are: Temptation Bundling
5 Minute Rule
Chunking Tasks 
Task Swapping & Delegation 
Hide Your Phone!!!

Using Curiosity to Get Unstuck and Find Fulfilment

Curiosity is one of the most underrated self development tools that everyone should be using, including you! Especially if you’re struggling with quarter life confusion and you’re in need of some new perspectives, new experiences and more motivation to help make life more fun, more interesting and more fulfilling. 
Key Learning Takeaways: 
 Curiosity is defined as: A strong desire to know or learn and having an interest in a person, thing, or experience that leads to making an inquiry.
We have tons of curiosity as kids, but then it reduces as we get into adulthood because we don’t feel like we need to learn as much anymore. We already have all of the knowledge we need to survive, so we don’t have as much of a need to learn new things. 
There are many ways we can use curiosity in our quarter lives to help us grow, strengthen relationships and find what’s missing from our lives.
Curiosity isn’t just something that we feel in life from time to time, it’s a way of seeing the world and all aspects of life in it,  in a more exciting, clearer and often easier way.
