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.

Boxing Day's wisdom. Christmas Day is done. However you spent it I hope it had magical moments. For some it will have been a struggle with anxiety over family memebers, loneliness , plans cancelled or just bearable, grief, fanily tensions, but you made it. Don't look back unless it is at fond memories. Look forward as that is the direction you are going. Make small constructive changes every day and go for it. Make a change. Smile more. Be excited. Do new things. Live with hope. Throw away what you have been cluttering. Unfollow negative people on social media. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Be fierce. Don't gossip. Show more gratitude. Do things that challenge you. Be brave. Be you. May your day be filled with sweet bursts of happiness. Happy Boxing day.

Christmas Blessings to all my Facebook followers and my wonderful clients. I know Christmas is tinged with sadness for some of you and can be a difficult time for so many reasons. It has been a tough year for many, struggling with grief, illness, job loss, financial pressure, relationship difficulties, insecurity and fear of sickness. I hope the season will be as gentle and peaceful as possible for all of you. Be kind to yourself and others. Thank you for allowing me into your world. Be kind to yourself and others. Be self compassionate. Breathe. Much love. Gillian.

Tuesday's thoughts. In life surround yourself with those who light your path. Whether that is family, friends or friends who become family. People who lift you up and push you to be the best version of yourself, people who support you, care for you and praise you, help you, look out for you, make you laugh and wipe your tears when you cry, these people are your path lighters. Cherish them. Happy Tuesday.

Worth rembering in these busy days running up to Christmas. Take care of yourself. A few minutes of silent contemplation every couple of hours. Delegate tasks if you can. Accept offers of help. Tackle your must do list 1st. Keep your expectations realistic. Remember you being present is more important than a present.

Sunday's wisdom. Don't count the days. Make the days count. Read that again. We all have the same 24 hours. Be wierd. Be random. Be who you are. Because you never know who would love the person you hide. Don't let anyone dim your glow. Shine on. Have a sassy Sunday. .
