Hi there!
This year, I decided to create a slightly modern — and maybe even meaningful — twist on the classic Advent calendar. Every year, starting December 1st, we’re used to stuffing ourselves with chocolate — which is GREAT. I love chocolate! 💖
But recently I realised that not everyone has the privilege to buy gifts or sweets. For many people, this time of year brings stress, pressure and financial anxiety. They’re trying to bring joy to others while spending as little as possible. So I thought:
What if, instead of receiving something new every day, we let go of something old?
From December 1st until Christmas — throughout Advent — I challenge you to remove one unnecessary thing from your life each day. And it doesn’t need to be an object. You can also let go of an old belief, habit or thought that no longer helps you grow.
Here are some ideas of what you could release:
- random cables and chargers
- old papers
- an embarrassing moment you keep replaying
- an influencer or page that gives you nothing
- the self-criticism you don’t deserve — bye bye 💋
- things that didn’t go as planned — let it go already. Better things are coming!
As for me — I’m definitely letting go of my terrible sleep routine! It doesn’t serve me anymore, and quality rest is something I deeply value now.
And honestly — you don’t need to be perfect. Even every second or third day counts. If you let go of just one unnecessary thing before Christmas, I’ll still call that a success. You rock! 🚀
This way, Christmas isn’t only about gifts. It becomes a moment of clarity — a reminder of what truly matters… and what doesn’t.
Because stepping into a new year always begins the same way: first we release the old, and only then can we create something new and healthy.
And who knows — maybe you’ll fall in love with this idea and keep it long after the holidays. Christmas has a beautiful way of inviting us to slow down and reflect.
So tell me: What’s the first unnecessary thing you’re letting go of? ✨ Tell me in the comments — I truly want to know. I’ll be reading everything.
Wishing you a beautiful start to the holiday season, full of warmth, family and peace.
