-: 01:13

Well, thank you so much for asking.

-: 01:15

I've got a list for you, in fact.

-: 01:18

No need for fancy gifts under my tree.

-: 01:25

I'm just looking for thoughts, feelings and behaviors that'll light up this Christmas week.

-: 01:30

First up, I'm looking for the inner peace jackpot.

-: 01:44

In this week, where we tend to put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be everywhere and everything, let's just chill it down a bit. What can we turn down? What can we stop?

-: 01:47

What can we say no thank you to?

-: 01:50

What are we going to say yes, please to?

-: 02:08

A cup of coffee, laughing with my favourite people, a cold walk with the dog, a donation to the refugee shelter and volunteering my time. Yep, all of these things. Empathy is on my list too.

-: 02:16

I'm all for understanding and kindness, where we can bring it and how we can show it.

-: 02:29

Next, I'm craving some mental gymnastics, diving into some good books, both fiction and non fiction, exploring new ideas and

-: 02:35

having those brilliant mind expanding conversations over wedges of Christmas cake or mince pies.

-: 02:44

My habits: I'm sticking with moving my body, eating good food and getting enough sleep.

-: 02:48

That is the trio for my rock star life.

-: 02:51

You know me, I'm a rock star all over.

-: 02:58

One more thing I'd love, a podcast review, please. What's on your Christmas list?

-: 03:04

No bad thing if you like fancy perfume and nude slippers, I hear you.

-: 03:12

And finally, I'd like you, yes you, to join my one to 1 joyful alcohol free journey.

I'll bring a cuppa and a box of Christmas chocks.

-: 03:33

You'll have to bring your own chocks.
