Today is Pinocchio day although sometimes it feels like the world is full of Pinocchios. People stretching the truth, twisting it, or trying to convince us that what we know we’re feeling isn’t real. Today’s a perfect reminder that other people’s lies don’t get to rewrite your reality.

Boundaries aren’t walls, they’re protection. An invisible force field that keeps your peace intact and lets the nonsense bounce right off. It is okay to put yourself first. And it’s up to you to decide when to say “enough” and walk away from anyone who tries to gaslight you into doubting yourself.

If you’re done carrying other people’s guilt, expectations, or stories, hypnotherapy can help you reconnect with yourself and find the clarity and calm that’s been there all along, underneath the noise.

So if you’re ready to strengthen your boundaries from the inside out you can book a free 15 minute discovery call to see how hypnotherapy can help you reclaim your peace, your power, and your voice — no strings attached.

I absolutely love running. Truly. Passionately. I do it consistently whenever I can, it’s one of my best habits.

I love it for about 23¼ hours a day. It’s just that 45 minutes where my lungs forget their job that I’m not a fan of.

I’ve run consistently for years, yet I’ve spent that whole time telling everyone I’m a “bad runner.” “All the gear, no idea.” “Snails overtake me.”

But here’s the thing: No one else was saying that, it was just me.

Recently, someone told a friend I was a "nice runner." And years ago, a friend who was a marathoner complimented my form. So today, I decided to borrow their words instead of mine.

Before I laced up, I told myself: “I’m a nice runner.”

It didn’t make it fun, and I was still wheezing like I’m on 40 capstan a day, but I ran better than I have in ages. Because I stopped tearing myself down before I’d even taken a step. I didn’t listen to that wee voice in my head that was telling me I was full of enthusiasm but no talent.

It made me wonder: what other nonsense am I telling myself that is unkind? What would happen if, just for today, I swapped it for a kinder, more positive story?

🌟 A Tiny Detour That Shifted My Whole State

My mornings are usually a rush, and I’ve barely seen any of the Winter Olympics this year — so I’m probably the last person on earth to catch this — but the UK figure skating team doing a full routine to the Spice Girls completely stopped me in my tracks thus morning.

I try really hard not to be sucked into doom scrolling and reels but while waiting for my coffee I clicked on this, and it was the loveliest way to start the day (even if it was hardly a productive use of my time). I let myself take the three minutes and something in me just softened.

Watching them enjoy themselves so fully reminded me of something I already know, the subconscious responds to joy. Even the smallest spark. A tiny moment of delight can shift your whole internal trajectory far more than forcing, pushing, or powering through.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause — on purpose — and let your nervous system breathe.
A micro‑reset.
A pattern interrupt.
A doorway back into upward momentum.

So, here’s to small joys, tiny detours, and the unexpected things that realign us.

Happy Valentine’s Day… whatever you’re up to today ❤️

And honestly? It doesn’t have to be about romantic love.

Maybe today is just a wee check-in with yourself.
A quiet pause.
A moment to notice what’s shifting, softening, or quietly strengthening inside you.

Before it became roses, pressure and performative perfection, there was an actual human behind the day. Saint Valentine was believed to be a priest (possibly a bishop) in the 3rd century. One of the most well-known stories says he secretly married couples after the emperor banned marriages for young soldiers — thinking single men made better fighters.

He defied the order.
He chose love anyway.

Over time, his story blurred with others who shared his name, so the details aren’t crystal clear. But what stayed tied to his legacy?

💛 Courage
💛 Compassion
💛 Loyalty
💛 Choosing love even when it’s risky

And loyalty… that one matters.

Real love — in any form — means having people you can count on.
People who don’t store your vulnerabilities away to use later.
People who don’t weaponise what you trusted them with.

It matters to have at least one or two souls in your world who are steady.
Who are kind when you wobble.
Who are safe when you soften.

And it matters just as much to notice the difference between people who are fun to be around… and people who are loyal and kind.

Not everyone who laughs with you is for you.
Not everyone who shares space with you deserves full access to your heart.

It’s okay to build barriers where you need them.
It’s okay to protect your peace.
It’s okay to say, “This feels unsafe for me,” and quietly step back.

Finding your safe people — the ones you can count on no matter what — is one of the most important things you’ll ever do for your nervous system and your heart.

Somewhere along the way Valentine’s Day narrowed into roses and restaurant bookings.
But love was never meant to sit neatly in one box.

Love is:
❤️ The friend who shows up
❤️ The family we choose
❤️ The self-love we’re still gently learning
❤️ The quiet acts of kindness that never make it to Instagram
❤️ The courage to protect your heart as much as you open it

Whatever today looks like for you…

Maybe appreciation starts with recognising that you are absolutely enough.
And that you deserve love that feels safe, steady, and kind.

Not performative.
Not conditional.
Not risky in the wrong ways.

Just safe.

With love 🤍

I made my first ever gonk this week — me and the Knit & Natter ladies are already crafting for Christmas (there are many gonks waiting to be birthed into the world).

It wasn’t perfect.
It was a bit footery.
At one point I genuinely thought, “Why am I even making these wee arms? They don’t actually do anything.”

And then it clicked.

These wee creatures aren’t meant to be functional.
They’re meant to make you smile.
They’re meant to have quirks.
They’re meant to have personality (a bit like Cabbage Patch Kids for those of us old enough to remember the originals).

Suddenly, every crooked stitch and slightly lopsided bit felt… right.

Because the magic isn’t in perfection.
It’s in the making.
It’s in that moment you realise you’re creating something simply because it brings joy.

And it’s so easy to forget that.

We judge ourselves for not being perfect enough, not being useful enough, not being productive enough. Just generally not being enough.

But sometimes it’s enough to do something, or choose something, make something purely because it makes you happy.

No purpose.
No pressure.
Just joy.

So if you need a reminder this week here it is,
You’re allowed to be imperfect.
You’re allowed to be joyful.
You’re allowed to be a wee bit footery and still absolutely lovable.

This week, I’m going to try doing more things purely for joy, no justification needed. To remind myself how good it feels to drop the pressure.

And if life’s been feeling heavy, footery, or full of “shoulds” and you’d like some gentle support letting go of the pressure, I have a few hypnotherapy sessions available.

I’ll pop the booking link in the comments

Hello February — I’m loving that the light is finally stretching a wee bit longer each day.
It’s definitely still freezing, my coat is still zipped to the chin, but something in the air has shifted.

This weekend, I dragged my husband to the cinema. The least said about the movie the better. But stepping out of the house, breaking the winter hibernation even for a little while. that tiny act sparked something.

Yesterday I woke up feeling all motivated and awake. I tidied, I planned, I pottered. Nothing dramatic, just that quiet sense of feeling perked up.

Change rarely comes as a lightning bolt. It begins with a small action that tells your mind, We’re shifting now. A spark. A little opening. A reminder that it’s safe to re‑emerge.

So here’s to February — the month of slowly shedding winter cocoons and finding yourself again.

If you’ve noticed even a flicker of energy returning, trust it. And if you feel like you could use a gentle nudge to reconnect with your own spark, I’d love to help you find it.

It’s been one of those weeks where the wind feels like it has its own agenda — not dramatic, just constant and persistent. The kind of low‑level battering that somehow drains you more than last year’s full‑blown Storm Éowyn ever did.

And that’s how so many people are describing their anxiety right now.

Not a crisis.
Not a collapse.
Just a steady pressure that never quite lets up.

The windows tremble. Sleep sits lighter. Your shoulders tense without you even noticing. And even when your mind knows you’re safe, your body is still bracing.

Your nervous system isn’t overreacting — it’s responding to days of noise, uncertainty, and no real stillness.

And just like the weather, moods can move through when we stop trying to fix them. Some things are meant to roll over us, not be wrestled into place.

When the outside world won’t settle, it can feel almost impossible to create a pocket of calm on the inside. But it’s so worth it, just giving yourself space to let your system exhale.

That’s where hypnotherapy can help: a gentle way for your body to soften, slow down, and find its quiet centre again… even if the wind is still howling.

If any of this lands with you, if you’re tired of holding everything together, if your body is asking for rest before your mind catches up, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You’re welcome to message me, have a quiet chat, or simply take the first small step toward feeling steadier again.

Apparently it’s Blue Monday, but what does that even mean?

We say we’re feeling blue out of habit, forgetting that it was only ever a metaphor.

Blue isn’t bad.
It can be calm seas and wide skies.
Wisdom. Healing. Stillness.

Yes, blue can hold sadness — but it can just as easily hold peace, clarity, and depth.

And this is the part that fascinates me: how easily the mind clings to old meanings, old patterns, old shortcuts… until we remember there are other options.

So ask yourself:
What colour do I actually feel today?
And if it is blue — which blue is it because you’re allowed to choose the shade that supports you.

And honestly, how could a day that also happens to be Dolly Parton’s birthday ever truly be called Blue Monday? A day with that much sparkle deserves a far brighter name.

Some weekends leave you a little quieter inside.
Not because anything dramatic happened, but because life leans in and asks, “Are you living the way you mean to?”

I’ve spent the last couple of days with people who remind me what a life well lived really looks like — not the highlight reel, but the everyday kindness, the showing up, the generosity without keeping score, the ability to appreciate what you have without resenting anyone else.

It’s so easy to drift. To worry about things that don’t matter. To forget kindness when we’re tired or distracted. To forget that every small moment is a choice.

A life well lived isn’t complicated.
It’s shaped by tiny decisions:
Be kind. Be generous. Wish others well. Let people know they matter.

Because how we live is how we’re remembered — in the feeling we leave behind.

So here’s to living on purpose, and making the time we have count, gently and honestly.

First Monday of the year, the decorations are down, the emails are back, and today feels like the real beginning. A clean slate disguised as an ordinary Monday.

So here’s the question I’m sitting with — and maybe you are too:

If it could be easy, what would you change?

Not what “should” you change
Not what’s “realistic”
Not what’s the “sensible”next step

Just…
If it could be easy.
If the path opened up.
If the resistance softened.
If you didn’t have to wrestle with it this time.

What would you change?
Your mornings?
Your mindset?
Your boundaries?
Your habits?
Your confidence?
Your relationship with food, work, rest, or yourself?

Today is a perfect day to name it — quietly, boldly, or somewhere in between.
The year has only just begun, and you get to decide what you’re walking toward.

So tell me…
If it could be easy, what would you change?

And if you’re curious about how hypnotherapy could support the change you want — gently, powerfully, and in a way that fits your life you can schedule a free, no obligation, 15 minute discovery call by clicking here https://app.simplymeet.me/karenwilsonhypnotherapy

Happy New Year

I’ve got two lovely visitors just now, and in true canine fashion they’ve already claimed the best spot in front of the fire, had a proper sniff round the garden, and accepted head rubs like it’s my sole purpose in life to dish them out.

They’re asleep now by the fire — gentle snores, legs twitching in dreamland — and I find myself just watching them, impressed by how completely they seem to have life figured out.

This year, I’m going to try and be more like them:
• Enjoy the moment you’re in
• Trust that everything is okay
• Accept love when it’s offered
• Know who to turn to for a cuddle when you need one
• And always find the warmest spot in the room

Wishing you a year of softness, strength, and knowing where to turn when you need support.

And maybe, just maybe, a little more space to rest your nervous system and remember that you don’t have to have it all worked out — sometimes it’s enough to simply be warm, safe, and at peace.

31/12/2025

As the year comes to an end, I just want to say thank you — to my lovely clients, and to everyone who has trusted me, recommended me, or quietly supported my work this year. Working with you has been a privilege, and something I never take for granted.

Over the coming days, we’ll see plenty of highlight reels and “what a year” posts. They can be inspiring — but they’re never the full story. So if your insides don’t match someone else’s outsides, please know you’re not behind or failing. You’re human.

And remember, there’s no rule that says this moment has to be one of reflection or reinvention. New Year hasn’t always fallen on 1st January (in Scotland it was the 25th March until a few hundred years ago) and it’s celebrated at different times all over the world. It really is just a date — not a deadline.

However you’re feeling right now is okay. And if you feel a gentle nudge to pause, to be kinder to yourself, or to reach out for support, you’re very welcome to do so.

Here’s to being human, in all the ways that matter.
