Hello darling heart and welcome to the Drink Less live better podcast.
-:
This is the podcast that helps you to see that drinking less doesn't need to be stressful, lonely, or boring.
-:
I'm your host, Sarah Williamson, and I decided to have a year alcohol free as a little life experiment and haven't looked back.
-:
With my experience and training, I now help other people with their alcohol free or drink less adventures.
-:
You can find out more and sign up to my 5 day drink less challenge at drink less, live better.com.
-:
I'm here to tell you that you can relax, connect and have fun without alcohol in your life.
-:
Join me here each week to find out how.
-:
It's beginning to look a lot like overwhelm, and it doesn't have to be this way, I promise.
-:
Are you a list writer with pen and paper or using your phone?
-:
Do you hold your list in your head?
-:
I think people who can do that are incredible.
-:
Do you have notes in your diary or reminders set?
-:
Post it notes stuck all over the place?
-:
Maybe there's nothing to do but take a deep breath and roll in to the next week ahead.
-:
However you are rolling, if you're feeling okay about it then that is good.
-:
This week of the year can give us the heebie jeebies.
-:
Even if we've done the best we can with the resources that we had, we can still hear that eternal chatter of, is it enough?
-:
Have I thought of everything, everyone, done what's expected, or done more than what was expected?
-:
Sometimes we start adding last minute stuff to do, which is, well, actually a little bit odd, but there we have it.
-:
This is how we find ourselves operating at this time of year for some reason or another.
-:
I think the media has got a lot to do with it.
-:
I think our friends and family massively influence us, and sometimes there's an opportunity to step back from it all and consider what we really actually want.
-:
I give you permission to cross things out of your diary this week. Go on.
-:
That last minute invite you said yes to, or that favour you said you'd do, or the item you said you'd sort, it's okay to buy
-:
back a little bit of your own time and sanity.
-:
I've been unwell this week and I was upset to have to postpone a lunch with a good friend, but I spent that time in bed fast
-:
asleep because, well, I needed to and nothing was going to be gained by feeling sad for too long about our get together.
-:
January is just around the corner, and we will catch up in 2020 3.
-:
It doesn't matter that we haven't seen each other in December.
-:
How can you carve out some time instead of overwhelm this week?
-:
Perhaps you can really prioritise yourself in the week between Christmas and New Year.
-:
One of the things I want most this winter is a feeling of peace and calm, and overwhelm is the enemy of peace and calm.
-:
So finding my way around and through overwhelm is one of my priorities at this time of year.
-:
Please give a Christmas gift that will cost you nothing financially this year.
-:

-:
I'll tell Father Christmas to keep you on his nice list if you do. Thank you so much.
