Holiday Hacks: Staying Organised and Focused During the Festive Season
The holiday season is a time for joy, celebration, and connection, but let’s face it – it can also feel overwhelming.
Life can be hard and sometimes it’s a challenge to exercise positive thinking.
Whether it’s a challenging job, difficult relationships, health issues, or financial struggles, life can throw us curveballs.
But there is always hope and power in learning to look for the positives – and it’s important to do so.
Believing that things will get better — or at least have the potential to — can be a powerful motivator when it comes to personal growth and development.
Positive thinking can help you stay focused on your goals and provide you with the confidence and determination you need to see them through.
It’s easier said than done, of course, but with practice, positive thinking can become second nature.
In addition to helping you stay focused and motivated, positive thinking has many other benefits.
Studies have shown that those who focus on the positives are more likely to experience improved mental wellbeing and physical health compared to those who focus on the negatives.
Additionally, those who choose to focus on the positives are also more likely to experience greater success in their lives due to their newfound ability to take risks without fear of failure.
Finally, if you find yourself overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, focusing on something positive can help you regain control over your thoughts and emotions so that you can make better decisions going forward.
At times, we all experience negative thoughts and feelings, but it is important not to forget that there is always something positive in our lives if we take time look for it.
Learning how to recognise these small victories can help us stay focused on our goals and realise our full potential.
That is why your Story of My Life Journal contains several exercises based on gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness, to help you identify the positives in life.
So, next time life throws you a curveball, remember there is still light at the end of tunnel – you just have to look for it.
With practice, finding the silver linings becomes easier until eventually they just come naturally.

Story of My Life Journal acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as the Traditional Custodians of this Noongar boodjar (Noongar land) on which we operate.
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and we thank and pay respect to Aboriginal Elders – past, present, and emerging – for their continuous love and custodianship of the land and waterways we now get to experience and enjoy, from Boorloo (Perth) and the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) and beyond.
The Aboriginal people are recognised for telling and sharing stories with one another, and the Story of My Life Journal team draws inspiration from the oldest living culture in the world, as we share stories of our own and support others in understanding theirs.
Always was. Always will be.
