A – ADVENT CALENDAR

When my kids were young I used to buy each of them a chocolate calendar.  Most of the time they didn’t eat the chocolate, but it was a tradition and the elves always brought them the calendar on December 1^st.

Now that the kids are no longer at home I have made myself a fabric calendar (pouches). 

I plan for myself a relaxing – zen calendar.  I put small pieces of paper with things to do inside the pouches.  Sometimes it’s also a chocolate, tea, …

Here’s an example of what I mean

·        Chocolate (a GOOD one) – of course this idea could be used and reused quite a few times. J

·        Fancy teabag

·        Simple bedtime yoga routine

·        Facial mask night

·        15 minutes of relaxation – No tech time

·        Watch a Christmas movie – I think every Friday night will be one of these

·        Write in my happiness journal

·        Read a Christmas magazine

·        Make a cup of hot chocolate and relax in front of the Christmas tree and reflect on Christmas

·        Do a RAK (Random act of kindness)

·        15 minutes of meditation or positive reading

·        Deep-breathing

·        Journal or draw in my Christmas journal

·        Do something nice for my husband

·        Work on my 2017 goals

·        Write a list of places I would like to visit

·        Hand care – massage + cream

·        Read a Christmas story from Chicken Soup for the Christmas Soul

·        Foot massage

·        Go to bed early

·        Burn a candle and listen to music
