By the time you’re reading this.
I might be laying face down in a ditch somewhere in Manchester…
That being said. It’s that time of the year where I am in charge of adults and making sure they don’t unleash a lot of chaos right before everyone winds down for Christmas.
I’ve learnt a little trick over the years.
You can hypnotise people and bring them under your spell if you take them all out for a meal.
They will hopefully do your bidding, as long as the meal is good.
Not one of those corporate pizza parties from hell.
Just a good meal.
Some good vibes.
And genuine connection with fellow meat puppets after this year has honestly slammed people about mentally, spiritually and physically.
Years ago I would’ve been about the whole hustle culture and just went full on into the new year.
But as you get older and wiser you realise that there’s honestly no need to go absolutely batshit and burn yourself out before the new year starts.
So take it slow. Wrap up any work you need to do and take some TLC time for yourself.
Get a new book or a favourite hot drink, get some new shoes or even cut off people who have made things horrible this last year.
It’s all about going into the new year fresh. With love and with positivity.
I’ll still be sending out emails over the Christmas period, but I’ll probably be in a food coma and they’ll sneak out automatically… (Like this one)
Stephen Walker.
P.S. I know I’ve said in past that I’m not all about the automation life, however a few people have said that I need to stop being full on all the time with the writing. I need to live a little (Go figure lol)
P.P.S This is the greatest Christmas film of all time as it adds a lot of introspection on the times when we’ve wanted to throw in the towel.
