Monday's motivation. . People who uplift you are the best kinds of people. You don't simply keep them. You have to treasure them. Kindness costs nothing. You don't know the impact you can have on someone's life with one act of kindness, a gesture, a kind word. When you see something beautiful in someone, tell them. It may take a second to say but for them it could last a lifetime. We don't know what anyone is going through. Be kind always. Tell someone they inspire you, tell them you love their hair. Tell them you admire their strength or are proud of their achievements. Kindness is free. Blowing out someone else's candles won't make yours burn any brighter. Please give kindness generously. Happy Monday.

Sunday's wisdom. I'm really trying to focus on appreciating the small, sweet moments lately. ✨ You know, those little things that just make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, like a perfect cup of coffee ☕ or a quiet evening at home. It's so easy to get caught up in the big picture, but these tiny joys are what truly make life special. Try to find peace in just noticing and being thankful for the little things. It's like discovering hidden treasures all around you! What are you greatful for this morning?

Saturday's feelings. No matter how dark the night sky gets, the sun will always rise again. Between yesterday's mistakes and tommorrow's hope there is a fantastic opportunity called today. So today if it makes you smile, giggle or laugh, do it again and again. Then keep doing it. Today is your day. The sun has risen. Live it. Love it. Happy Saturday.

Friday's feelings. How often have you used the words "I am at my wits end?" What does that mean to you? What are you doing about it? Are you listening? Take heed of the words you use to describe your feelings. Overwhelmed. Stressed out. Down. Low mood. Health is not just what we eat and do. It is also what you are thinking, feeling and saying. Look after yourself. At your wits end? Carrying too much? Working too many hours? Not taking regular breaks? Snacking rather than prioritising nutrition. Scrolling instead of prioritising sleep? Choose to have an intentional and restful weekend. . Everything usually works better if we unplug it for a while. So this weekend, , switch off. Rest re-charge until you feel like you again. PM Brighter Days for an appointment.

Thursday's thoughts. Quiet the noise of comparison. Jealousy is such an unnecessary emotion. There is room in this world for everyone to shine. Blowing out someone else's candle won't make yours shine brighter Quiet the noise of perfectionism and fear. Someone will always have a better job, flatter stomach, more friends, more holidays, bigger house, exercise more. You get the picture. Being jealous of their life doesn't change yours. So if you want change in your life focus inwardly. Start by changing one thing. Drink more water, do more steps, read more. Embrace the beauty of who you are now. The wonderful and the messy, your struggles and your strength. Show up fully in your own life. Brave, whole and on purpose. Stop wasting your energy on jealousy. Their life isn't perfect or better than yours. Remember you are observing them from your perspective. Stop beng jealous of people in their winning season. You don't know what they lost in their loosing season. Just do you. Be the best version of yourself and be passionate about creating the life you want. You do you. Happy Thursday.

Wednesday's wisdom. Some will look at this picture and see a bunch of weeds others will see a bunch of wishes. Our thoughts create our feelings and our feelings create our behaviours. Being positive and looking on the bright side doesn't mean a life without struggles and free of worries. Being optimistic is knowing that you can survive the hard times. It is knowing that good and bad times pass. So if you are experiencing good times then embrace and enjoy every moment. If you are experiencing tough times then know that they will pass. We can't experience a rainbow without a little rain. You are stronger than you think and braver than you know. Sometimes we have to look at life from a different perspective. Choose to see wishes. Happy Wednesday. .

Feeling like you're holding everyone else up can be exhausting. ⚓️ It's easy to forget to check in with yourself when you're busy being strong for others. Sometimes, you don't even realize you're struggling until you're completely overwhelmed. Remember to extend yourself the same grace and support you offer to everyone else. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's essential. So, take a deep breath, and remember that it's okay to ask for help too. PM Brighter Days Counselling for an appointment. 💖

Monday's motivation. We normally put so much pressure on ourselves every day to achieve our idea of perfection. Spotless house, perfect physique, top of our game in work. We critique ourselves so harshly, too fat, too thin, not smart, not attractive, not earning enough. None of that is important right now. Take a bit of time to reflect on your priorities. So for today, leave perfect to Disney and Pixar. Embrace all that you are with loving kindness and whatever you achieve today, let it be enough. Go easy on yourself. PM Brighter Days Counselling for an appointment. Happy Monnday.

Sunday's wisdom. Don't let anyone who hasn't been in your shoes tell you how to tie your laces. We are not all in the same boat. Some of us are in expensive yachts and some of us are in inflatables dingys. Nobody knows the way you feel. Life can be hard sometimes. We have all faced things that have hurt us. People will often jump in with platitudes. That is about making themselves feel better. People are super at giving advice. You don't have to follow it. Breathe. Take your time. Follow your own path. Healing is not a race. It is hard work. It can be exhausting. Acknowledge where you are at on the journey with compassion. Don't compare your recovery or healing with where others are at. One day at a time. One hour at a time. Be kind to yourself. Be patient. Show some self love. PM Brighter Days Counselling for an appointment. Happy Sunday 💕

So you can't have missed the fact thay today is Valentines Day. Shops full of red hearts. Truthfully I don't buy in much to the plastic heart consumerism but I love love. Who doesn't? Kind gestures, compliments, randoms acts of kindness, helping a friend when you can, showing support to someone in need, now that is love, isn't it.?. Love is an every day thing. Let's spread some love today, shall we? ❤️ It feels like the whole world could use a little extra kindness right now. Imagine the ripple effect if we all focused on extending love outwards! Even a small gesture can make a big difference. So, let's make today a day to share that good energy with everyone. Sending good vibes your way! ✨PM Brighter Days Counselling for an appointment

Friday's feels. Dear self, just a little reminder to take a deep breath and let go of what you can't control. It's totally okay to feel frustrated sometimes, but dwelling on things beyond your power won't change a thing. Focus your energy on what you *can* influence, like your own reactions and actions. Choose what you focus on with intention. Choose to focus on what brings you joy, lifts you up or gives you peace. Remember, you've got this! 💪 Sometimes the biggest wins are in choosing peace. ✨ PM Brighter Days Counselling for an appointment

Thursday's thoughts. The greatest prison we live in is the fear of what other people think. People actually only think of you for a matter of seconds. Let that sink in. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you. What matters most is what you think of yourself. Those thoughts have power so give them energy and make them kind, positive and beautiful. How we feel about ourselves impacts on how we treat ourselves. If we value ourselves then we invest in ourselves. Good food, excercise, self-care. Valuing ourselves allows us to teach others how we want to be treated. Live, learn and upgrade. You are special. Believe it and watch your life change for the better. It doesn't matter what others think of you. Live your life for you. Be authentically you. Have a fabulous Thursday.
