The Power of the Holiday Pause: Making the Most of Twixmas Rest & Recharge

The Power of the Holiday Pause: Making the Most of Twixmas Rest & Recharge

The quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year, known as "Twixmas", isn’t just downtime. It’s a rare opportunity to truly rest, reflect, and recharge before the new year begins. For the NOCRASH community, it’s the perfect moment to prioritise self-care and mindful routines that support focus and well-being.

Why the Holiday Pause Matters

  • Rest restores energy: True rest isn’t laziness, it’s essential for better focus, mood, and immunity.

  • Reflection fuels growth: Taking stock of the past year helps you set meaningful intentions for the next.

  • Slowing down reduces stress: Mindful pauses help reset your nervous system and boost resilience.

How to Make the Most of Twixmas

  1. Schedule Real Downtime

    Block out time for guilt-free rest, read, nap, or just enjoy a NOCRASH hot chocolate in peace.

  2. Reflect & Intend

    Use a journal to jot down lessons from the year and hopes for January. Focus on how you want to feel, not just what you want to achieve.

  3. Connect with Loved Ones

    Share slow moments—board games, long walks, or simply chatting over a nourishing NOCRASH drink.

  4. Move Gently

    Try yoga, stretching, or a mindful walk to support both body and mind.

  5. Nourish Yourself

    Enjoy balanced meals and functional drinks. Adaptogens in NO CRASH can help support mood and recovery after a busy season.

Sample Twixmas Evening Ritual

  • Brew a NOCRASH adaptogen blend

  • Light a candle, put on soft music

  • Journal or reflect on what you’re grateful for
