Wednesday's wisdom. . Wouldn't the world be so dull if we were all the same. We are uniquely made. A one off. Celebrate all that is you. Life is all about using the whole box of crayons. Paint a colourful, radiant mad, beautiful picture of your journey through life with all the colours you have been given. Use your strengths, talents and gifts and colour wildly with the freedom of a child. Broken crayons still colour the same. So get out there today. Open your box of crayons and have a wonderfully colourful day. Happy Wednesday.

Tuesday's thoughts . With Christmas well and truly behind us many will have already made and broke our new year's resolutions but that's okay. We just dust ourselves down, re-set and go again. After all if we get one flat tyre we wouldn't go and burst the other three. Are you always the one who says this is the year I will get fit? loose weight? stop smoking? read more? learn to drive? take up a new hobby? Go out more? Travel more? We cannot always be motivated, some days it is about discipline. Moving forward a little at a time with slow and steady progress is better than standing still. If you want to make a change in your life then take responsibility for it. Be accountable to yourself. Do it for you because you deserve the best life has to offer. Don't live the same year over and over and call it a life. Make a change this time. Start small, start where you are with what you have, but start. Happy Tuesday. Make a change this time.

Sunday's wisdom. What if I told you that today you have the power to turn a life around? Well you do. Nobody knows what anyone else is dealing with in their lives. We all have the capacity for caring and kindness and you do not know the impact that gesture will have on another person who just may need what you have to give. Never underestimate the power of touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Happy Sunday.

Saturday's silliness.. May you day begin with a giggle and end with a smile. Never underestimate the power of a smile and a good laugh. Choose joy today. Smile at strangers. Laugh with friends, colleagues and family. Let your fun side out. We all need to have fun. Life feels better when we are smiling. If I could give you any gift this Christmas season it would be, love, laughter, peace of mind, a peaceful heart, a special dream and joy. May your day begin with a giggle and end with a smile. Happy Saturday.

Friday's feelings. Many of us have gone into January detemined to loose weight. Maybe we over induldged at Christmas, perhaps it is a fitness goal. The best weight you will ever loose is the weight of other people's opinions of you. Other people's opinions of you are none of your business. We get to choose the value of people's opinions. Other people's opinions only have value if we place value on them. Focus instead on valuing yourself. Focus on knowing your self worth. Focus on your opinion of you. Shed the weight of other people's opinions. Feeling lighter? Happy Friday.

New Years Day wisdom. As you awake today in the 1st day of a new year and new let us make a toast to the old you. The you that survived everything 2025 threw at you. Remember where you are going is more important than where you have been. 2026 is here. The days in 2025 may have been long for you but on reflection the year was short. This year will also fly by. Check your rear view mirror as you reflect on 2025 and bring with you the lessons learned, special memories and friends and family who enrich your life. Leave what no longer serves you in 2025 and step bravely into 2026 with your focus through the windscreen in front of you. A new horizon, a clean canvas, endless opportunities and new challenges. Keep your focus through the windscreen as that is the direction your life is going and where you are going is more important than where you have been. On the roadship of life the promise of the future is always better than the pain of the past. So to all my clients and Facebook followers I wish you bravery to step boldly into a new year and create the life you want for yourself. Happy New Year.

As our thoughts turn toward 2026 please do not get caught up in the 'what ifs?' Please don't get sucked in to comparing your behind the scenes with other's highlight reel on social media. Let me tell you a true story. YOU MADE IT. Despite doubts, hardship, illness, struggles, grief, you made it and I am immensely proud of you for that. You made it and that is an achievement worth celebrating. Take some time to be gentle with yourself. So with a little extra grace and self compassion welcome a New Year.

Tuesday's thoughts. Rise and be unstoppable. Just a gentle reminder for anyone who may need it this week. You are amazing. Your smile lights up the room. Smile because you are beautiful. Smile because you are unique. Smile because you can. Smile because today is a new day full of promise and opportunities. Smile because someone loves you. Smile because you deserve to. You have all the strength you need inside of you to handle whatever today throws at you. Remember that. Rise and be unstoppable. Happy Tuesday.

Monday's mood. Yesterday I did nothing and today I am finishing what I did yesterday. Put yourself at the top of your to do list and the rest will fall into place. Have a lovely Sunday doing whatever makes your soul smile. Repeat often throughout the day. Happy Monday.

Sunday's wisdom. Repeat after me. That is my last year of tolerating less than I deserve. First understand your worth and second, don't settle.for less. There is magic in who you are and in self-acceptance. Know your worth and do not accept behaviour that disrespects you. Start your day acknowledging that your place in this world is important, your life has meaning and stride into Sunday with great purpose. You have strength in your body, trust it. There is purpose in the path you are on, reveal it. There is beauty in your life, show gratitude for it. Notice the things you do every day as they have the biggest impact on your life. Everything can be achieved through gradual daily steps. One small step at a time you can overcome your fears and achieve your dreams. Go for it. Drink your coffee and take on the day. Happy Sunday. PM Brighter Days for an appointment.
