Last week I put a poll out in my Facebook group an Last week I put a poll out in my Facebook group and asked how you find Christmas. So many of you said it feels exhausting, especially when you’re managing a chronic health condition.

I want you to know this first:

There is nothing wrong with you.

If you have Hashimoto’s, Hypothyroidism and other ongoing health challenges, Christmas is genuinely harder, not because you’re “not trying hard enough”, but because your body is already doing a lot behind the scenes.

More socialising.
More noise and stimulation.
Later nights.
Different food.
More decisions.
All of that requires energy, and energy is often the very thing in short supply.

This is why I want to gently shift the focus this December away from willpower and towards energy protection.

Here are three simple ways to do that:

1. Decide where your energy matters most

You don’t need to show up fully foreverything.
Choose the people or moments that matter most to you, and let the rest be “good enough”.

Rest before events when you can, not just after.

2. Anchor your day with the basics

When routines go out the window, symptoms flare more easily.

Try to prioritise:

A protein-rich breakfast
Regular meals to support blood sugar
Getting outside for daylight, even briefly
These small anchors help stabilise hormones and energy far more than perfection ever could.

3. Stop fighting your body

Fatigue, brain fog, or low motivation aren’t character flaws. They’re signals.

Instead of pushing harder, ask:

What would support my body right now?

Sometimes the most healing choice is doing less.

If December feels like survival mode, that’s okay. You’re not failing, you’re adapting.

So please be gentle with yourself. Your body is doing its best, and that is enough.
