Calm Christmas by Beth Kempton

[PumpkinSpicedTea]

Has anyone read or got this book? I bought it on Vinted last year but typical of me I didn't get a chance to work through it. I started it and made notes but life got in the way which is kind of ironic as the whole point of the book is to be more mindful of what's important for your own Christmas 😂

Wondered if others wanted to make a thread up discussing it or other mindful ideas.

I don’t have the book but the author did a podcast which I think was recommended on here last year. I listened to a few episodes and quite enjoyed it: https://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/ccpodcast/

Ooh thanks @HollyGennero A Podcast might help me keep on top of it.

The podcast is lovely, she's done a few years now and it's great

Spotify premium is now offering free audiobooks and this one is available, if that helps anyone

I've had it for a couple of years but only read a bit! I'm definitely going to try and read it all this year!

@VivaJen @LadyBird1973 I'll definitely check out the podcast - I have Spotify premium! I'm not normally a podcast person but I like the idea of just listening to someone.

@UndertheCedartree great! I've been in the same boat. I did a few of the contemplation exercises at the start and that was was it.

Well, I'll aim to have a read tomorrow!

I bought the book last year and didn't get the hype , I didn't finish it . However her voice on the podcast is amazing so if you're looking for some calm amongst the chaos I'd give it a listen

She’s doing a new series of the podcast this year - can’t wait 🥰🎄

I've started listening to the 2020 podcast and it's strange hearing about Covid so don't know if I should skip it and have a listen if 2021 instead? She doesn't talk loads about covid mind you.

Does anyone know when the new podcast will come out?

Actually really enjoying working through the 2020 series. Just been listening to Mindful gifting and trying not to be obsessed with checking the bargain thread now 🙈

I'm sure I saw on Instagram that she's recording it just now. I would suggest staying on 2020 just because I thought it was more complete than 21 and 22
