J for Jolly | 'Tis The Season and All That

The Z to A of Life

Monday, 8 December 2025 - 19 minutes

Join Jules and Mark for a festive episode of the Z to A of Life podcast, as they chat about ways to embrace this magical time of the year and avoid some of the pressures that come with it.

Christmas and New Year can sometimes be a bit full on. There's so much to plan, prepare and organise from buying presents to getting a new outfit to finishing stuff at school, college or work before taking some time off. Then of course, every advert encourages us to spend more, eat more and party more as we go in search of the so-called perfect Christmas. This can bring a mixed bag of emotions.

A good thing to do is to set realistic expectations and take a moment to step back, relax and enjoy this time of year. Set aside some time to reflect on the year gone by and then create some exciting plans for the year ahead.

To help you on your way, you can also download the free reflective thinking bundle with this link: https://www.futuretoolbox.co.uk/product/reflective-thinking-bundle/.

Why not stop by the shop and get a copy of the Z to A of Life Skills book, Don't Get Your Neck Tattooed? This is also available on Amazon.
