Have A Calmer Christmas

Inspirational podcasts to help you chill out this Chritstmas

Christmas is only around the corner.

I know. I’ve got so much to do as well.

Get Happier, a podcast that says what it does from the name, has launched a special episode about how we can get through the next few weeks intact. It’s brought to you by an expert: Professor Paul Dolan, who is  Behavioural Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

His tips include: consider buying experiences as presents (“when people think about what makes them happy, it is usually experiences rather than gifts”), consider handwriting rather than typing out messages to loved ones (“we’re still a species that love touching stuff”) and try to get off your phone during the Christmas break itself (“you’ll end up feeling just that little bit happier.” You can listening to the full list on his podcast feed.

Another recommended podcast full of tips and advice comes from The Calm Christmas Podcast with Beth Kempton.
