A DECEMBER CHALLENGE WITH JILL PEELER

Gift to Yourself Challenge

Thirty days of saying yes to yourself.
December 1 through 30, 2026

What would it feel like to make room for you?

What would it be like if we actually did the things we know are good for us? If we started saying yes to ourselves and giving our own needs a place in our lives?

I often encourage others to eat well, move their bodies, get enough sleep, and make time for connection. The honest truth is that I do not always follow my own advice.

So this December, I am challenging myself for 30 days. And I would love for you to join me.

My gift to myself

I am making room for nourishing meals, exercise, sleep, and social connection. I want more walks with my dogs, more swimming, more gardening, and more time doing the things I love.

I am also going to protect the time I book for myself. When I put something on my calendar for me, I want to keep that commitment with the same care I give to everyone else.

That means working less. I am a hard worker, but I also know that staying busy all the time is one of my coping mechanisms. I am ready to make room for a different way of caring for myself.

Your gift can look different

Choose something that fits your life. A nourishing meal. A walk. An earlier bedtime. Calling a friend. Returning to a hobby. Keeping an appointment with yourself.

You do not have to change everything at once. Begin with one promise you can keep, then make room for more as you go. If a day does not go as planned, begin again the next day.

For these 30 days, let us practice treating our own needs as worthy of our time and attention.
