YULE TIME IDEAS<br />

Sue Penney<br />

Yule is a time of deepest winter. The shortest day and<br />

longest night. It is a time when you naturally feel like<br />

drawing into yourself and hunkering down. However, It<br />

is also a time of great positivity, the days will now start<br />

to draw out and get longer and soon spring will be here.<br />

So what to do during the darker days and longer nights?<br />

Start a craft project<br />

I always find myself drawn to knitting or creating in the<br />

winter months. Even baking will do. In the summer I<br />

always want to be outside in nature but during the<br />

winter I like to be inside, cosy and warm. I love to feel<br />

safe and warm and even love listening to the rain<br />

pattering on the window panes and the wind howling.<br />

All this whilst sitting in the warm by a fire creating<br />

something with my hands makes me feel very happy.<br />

Setting goals for the coming year<br />

For the majority of people, Yule time tends to coincide<br />

with time off, so why not use that time wisely and set<br />

some goals for the coming year? Remember to also<br />

reflect on the year that has passed. What went well,<br />

what could have gone better and what would you like<br />

to change this coming year? Write the goals down and,<br />

if necessary, break them down into little steps that you<br />

can do each day to help you achieve them.<br />

Meditate<br />

Set some time aside each day to do some gentle<br />

meditation. Whether this is simply focusing on your<br />

breath for 10 minutes or listening to a meditation on an<br />

app or something that you have downloaded.<br />

Meditation is proven to reduce stress and improve<br />

wellbeing so start to include it in your daily routine.<br />
