This Christmas, are you tempted to fake it, or, in this digital world, will you keep it real? Part of finding joy is being honest about what is, in all its complex messiness - including the tiredness, grief, and limits - and giving them space alongside the light. Honouring that doesn’t diminish the festivities. When we listen to our bodies needs for a slower pace, more rest, balance in the busy-ness, or simpler days, we stop performing joy and start inviting it in.
