Can you feel the change in the energy around you as the weather warms up, the social calendar fills, you need time off work to attend your children’s end of year events and the family start calling?? It can start to feel overwhelming, but finding balance over the silly season is possible!
We often call these months ‘the silly season’ as it can be a time filled with joy and laughter, but it can also be a time of busyness, stress, tension, conflict and drama.
While it is easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle at the shops, the sales, all of the arrangements, keeping a perspective that is true to yourself and your family can help maintain some calm and balance at this time.
Remembering that the holiday period should have a large family and relaxation focus, so the superficial items such as decorations or meal trimmings should not consume too much of your thoughts and certainly not provoke feelings of stress or anxiety.
Flower Essences for The Festive Season
There are several flower essences that can help support you over the festive season. These are my recommendations:
Calm Your Farm. This one is good for those people who have a lot going on and juggle many balls at once. Great for finding calm in chaotic situations and helping you find calmness and grounding.
Stress Free. Diffuse feelings of pressure and anxiety related to stressful situations with Stress Free. This essence will help you stay grounded and focused while tackling the big issues in your day.
Rocket Fuel. It will help to support your body during times of stress and to give you the energy to look after the family. It can help with restoring inner peace and renewing enjoyment of life.
Belly Bandaid. This remedy is great to take if you or the kids have any tummy troubles, have overindulged or are feeling bloated, nauseous or gassy. You can also take it BEFORE you overindulge or maybe you are going to a party where junk food is on offer and you aren’t used to it.
Connection. While our families can cause us stress at times and communication can be tricky, this flower essence aims to support communication and remind us of our connection with our loved ones. Use this for family gatherings where tensions exist.
Boundaries. This essence can assist with providing healthy boundaries in a way that these beautiful people feel comfortable. It promotes a sense of self-worth and deeper understanding of how to help loved ones without it being at their own expense.

Strategies to Support Yourself during the Festive Season
Self Care. Schedule pockets of time into your diary on a regular basis to take time out for yourself to unwind and relax over the festive season.
Prioritise. Your wellbeing is important, so be realistic about what you can do, how many events you can go to and what is really needed. Keep things as simple as you can.
Set Boundaries. Setting boundaries at this time of year is often necessary for self care. Protect your time, energy and sanity with firm but loving boundaries with family, friends and work colleagues!
Healthy Habits. When life gets stressful, healthy habits like getting plenty of sleep, eating well, movement, relaxation and mindfulness are even more important to help you get through the chaos and keep you balanced. Make these a priority!
Stress Management. We all know stress is really harmful to our health, so implementing stress management strategies is so important.
Have Fun. Take time to enjoy your family and friends this summer and plan some fun activities and things to do. Spending time in nature is deeply restorative so plan some outdoor time.
