About this episode

Louise Miller opens the Make It Happen Club to solo business owners seeking a sanctuary from traditional hustle culture. This membership launch coincides with the Unfrazzle podcast mission to provide bite-sized insights for managing ambitious visions without the typical burnout associated with year-end deadlines.

Miller navigates a demanding holiday schedule featuring three Christmas celebrations and a wedding anniversary while advocating for the Be Where Your Feet Are mantra. This psychological framework counters the anxiety of unfinished tasks and the pressure of social media comparisons during the festive season. The approach prioritizes immediate personal experiences over future obligations to ensure sustainable productivity through January. Specific strategies focus on presence during travel and family gatherings to mitigate the stress of competing social demands.

Louise Miller shares her festive mantra as a tool for grounding and gratitude before the new year begins. Listeners can access time management resources through the Unfrazzle mailing list to maintain clarity during the transition into the next business cycle.

Festive Season Stress Management and Be Where Your Feet Are Mantra

The festive season often involves heavy travel and multiple family gatherings, including three separate Christmas celebrations and a wedding anniversary. To combat the stress of unfinished tasks and social media comparisons, the "Be Where Your Feet Are" mantra encourages presence. This practice focuses on enjoying current company and personal experiences rather than future obligations.

01:30 The festive season is upon us and it can be pretty full on, can't it? So every year Tom and I have three Christmases. So two with his side of the family and another one with mine. I also really love hosting a festive gathering where friends drop in for mulled wine or mince pies It's also our wedding anniversary actually on the day this podcast goes live so there's a lot going at this time of year And we'll be travelling all over the place over the next few weeks as well So how about you? Do you have a lot going on too or will the next few days be a little quieter for you. Well either way I would love to share a simple piece of advice that can help you experience less stress and more ease during this festive period, and that is to Be Where Your Feet Are! When you're switching off from work and getting ready to navigate the festivities it's very easy to get in a fluster about all of the things you didn't get done and the things you need to do next

02:22 Enjoy the company of the people you're with rather than thinking about where you need to be next. Immerse yourself in your own experience rather than checking your phone to see what everyone else is doing. Be where your feet are! So it's my intention to use those five words as my mantra over the next few weeks and I wonder would it serve you to do the same? Wishing you a wonderful festive season and a peaceful new year, and I look forward to seeing you again soon
