It’s super important to identify the triggers that may come up for you, Do you always have a certain drink as you put up the Christmas tree? Is it tradition to have Sherry with the Queens’ speech? Don’t allow the wine witch to creep in, making you feel ‘left out’. You are not missing out on anything by not drinking – (well only the hangover), and you are gaining the ability to be fully ‘Present’ Try a ‘WOOP’ for your Christmas and New Year: W stands for WISH, – What do you want this Christmas to be like? O stands for OUTCOME - What will it really look like if you get the wish, i.e. in detail what do you want to happen? O stands for OBSTACLE – Realistically what might get in the way, or trip you up? P stands for PLAN – How can you plan to ensure that you will succeed, what can you put in place? What support do you need?
Keep the ritual, change the ingredients!
