If my maths is correct, this will be the 2,490th blog that I’ve written.

Every week day from late 2012 to some point last year.

7 days a week since.

Every year I get the same question.

It’s the one in the blog title here.

“You’re not going to keep emailing over Christmas are you?”

As I gave away in yesterday’s P.S., we will be.

As the blog title also says, why wouldn’t we?

These blogs aren’t spam.

People have requested to receive them.

And can stop receiving at any point (the unsubscribe link at the bottom).

They contain useful, thought provoking ideas that thousands of people have used to make positive, lasting changes to their life, often for the first time.

Sure, they always contain a link for people to take the next step (it’s this one –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply), but that doesn’t negate the usefulness of the rest of the blog. And we’d be failing people if we didn’t let them know how we can help them make even bigger, better changes that will benefit them and those around them even more.

They’re designed to help with a problem people tell us they have.

So why would we stop doing that at a time of year where, if anything, it’s needed more than ever?

Christmas can be a time of great fun and enjoyment.

But it can also very easily become a time that undoes the good work of weeks and months of effort.

That leads to regret.

And a net loss in energy, happiness, mood and mental health.

These blogs (and the other stuff we do) will, hopefully, help make that a net gain.

Help us approach Christmas in a way where we still get all of the fun and enjoyment.

But create damage limitation on the less good stuff.

And it’s often a time where we actually have a little more spare time.

Between now and a week on Tuesday I should imagine the vast majority of us will have periods of not much happening.

Time we could use to read some of these.

Maybe check out more of the Learn tab if we’re a member (the number one difference maker between those on the programme who get great results and those that don’t).

Perhaps challenge a few of our approaches and thoughts around what we’re doing?

Worst case scenario, people can just choose not to read them if they’re happy as they are.

But we’re not going to stop doing something that will help for the overwhelming majority who are “kinda happy, kinda not”.

Much love,
