A gentler way to do Christmas


Terrie Power Coaching

Your Unique Way to Do Christmas

Merry Christmas Eve, Reader

If today already feels full, you’re not behind.
Holidays have a way of stirring expectations, emotions, and old patterns all at once.

So instead of trying to “do Christmas right,” here are a few tiny, grace-filled hacks for each Enneagram type.
Nothing to fix. Just something gentle to notice.

Type 1 – Principle Reformers​
Let one thing be imperfect today.
Not later. Today.
Peace matters more than precision.

Type 2 – Nurturing Supporters​
Before you help someone else, pause and ask:
“What do I need right now?”
Even a small yes to yourself counts.

Type 3 – Admirable Achievers​
You don’t need to make this meaningful.
It already is.
Try being fully present without improving the moment.

Type 4 – Introspective Individualists​
Notice the beauty that’s already here instead of focusing on what’s missing.
Name one ordinary thing that feels sacred today.

Type 5 – Analytical Investigators​
Step into the room even if you’d rather stay on the edges.
Connection doesn’t require the perfect words. Just your presence.

Type 6 – Loyal Guardians​
If anxiety shows up, gently remind yourself:
“I am safe right now.”
You don’t have to prepare for everything today.

Type 7 – Enthusiastic Optimists​
Stay with one moment instead of rushing to the next.
Joy deepens when you slow down enough to feel it.

Type 8 – Passionate Protectors​
Let someone else take the lead for a bit.
You don’t have to hold everything together to keep everyone safe.

Type 9 – Peaceful Mediators​
Your wants matter too.
Say them out loud, even if your voice shakes a little.

Before we go any further, take one slow breath.
Notice what today already feels like in your body.
Not what it’s supposed to feel like. Just what’s true.

There is nothing you need to prove today.
Nothing you need to catch up on.
This moment is allowed to be exactly what it is.


💭 Note to Self: What I’m Learning

What I’m learning is how much of a gift this community truly is. I’m grateful for the trust you place in me, for the questions you ask, and for the way you show up even when things feel messy or unclear. You remind me that growth doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful.


🔧 Try This

If you’re feeling that quiet nudge of
“Something needs to shift in the new year,”
I’d love for you to join me for my Live Quarterly Preview.

🗓 Monday, December 30​
⏰ 7:00 PM Central​

This is a simple, grounded session to:
• reflect on where you are right now
• get clear on what actually matters next
• create a plan that fits your real life

No pressure.
No hustle.
Just clarity and a doable path forward.

You don’t have to figure everything out tonight.
We’ll take the next step together.

Merry Christmas,
Terrie 🤍

Before You Ask More of Yourself Terrie Power Coaching … One thing may be making this quarter harder than it needs to be You may not need more discipline, more time, or another complicated plan. You may need to stop asking the final three months of the year to hold everything you hoped to accomplish in the first nine. That is easy to miss. When getting it done matters, letting go of any part of the plan can feel like giving up. So we keep adding everything to the list, even when the list no...

Choose It Again Terrie Power Coaching … I believe there is something powerful about looking at a goal you almost abandoned and choosing it again. Not because the year went according to plan. Not because you suddenly have more time, energy, or certainty. Because it still matters. I have two big goals left this year. My business goal is going well, but it will not happen accidentally. Reaching it will require focus, excitement, and actions that support where I want to go. My health goal has...

Check the Dashboard Terrie Power Coaching … You almost blamed the wrong thing If the check-engine light came on in your car, would you yell at the car to try harder? Probably not. You would not turn on a motivational podcast, press harder on the gas, and tell the car it must not want the destination badly enough. That would be ridiculous. Yet I have basically done this to myself. Something feels harder than expected, and instead of asking what changed, I assume I need more discipline. Wake up...
