Monday's mood. Let's welcome March. The days are getting warmer and lighter as we enter March. Spring is in the air and with it comes new life, new hope, and an opportunity to renew ourselves. Nature reminds us that from darkness comes light. As we see crocus, snowdrops, tulips and daffodils reappear in all their splendour after a winter of darkness we are reminded that we too can rise again, strong, refreshed and beautiful. So this Monday look for signs of hope, signs that your life is beautiful. We get this one life and we should be running towards our dreams. Enjoy all that you are today. Trust in the magic of new beginnings. Happy Saturday.

Sunday's wisdom. Feeling like I'm just winging it through life lately, and guess what? You probably are too! 🤷‍♀️ It's totally normal because literally no one has all the answers. We're all just trying our best, navigating the ups and downs of this wild ride called life. Embracing the uncertainty can actually be pretty freeing. Somedays we cry im the shower. Somedays we eat chocolate for breakfast or cereal for dinner. So let's give ourselves some grace, shall we? We are doing our best and that is enough. Do all things with love and you will never go far wrong. ✨ PM Brighter Days Counselling

Saturday's feelings. Hold on to the keepers. These are the people who generously bestow upon you the gifts of kindness and care and ask nothing in return. These are the people who believe in you even when you doubt yourself. These are the people who love you through the hard times and accept you for yourself. Be grateful for these gems in life. Keep them close to you always. Let them know how much you treasure them. Appreciate them always. Stay close to your keepers. Happy Saturday.

Thursday's thoughts. Are you feeling overwhelmed with life right now. Constant demands from various people in your life. Juggling work, kids, etc.? Have you spent all week frantically trying to complete your 'to do list?' Today let that sh*t go. We are human beings not human doings. Today focus on a to be list. Things I want to be today:-
Happy
Calm
Loving
Healthy
Awesome.

Today let's be amongst the doing. Be present. Pause and look around you. Take a coffee break. Notice the view out the window. Smile. It's Thursday. You have almost made it to the weekend. Have a super Thursday.

Wednesday's wisdom. It is the everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. We all have good days, bad days, up day, down days, paid days, broke days, too tired days but every day we keep going. At one point everything you have done in your life has been a choice. We all make bad decisions and wrong choices but recovering from them are the days you are working your hardest. Praise yourself for that. Celebrate your small wins. Today is a new day. Some one is looking to you for inspiration because you overcame your difficulties and kept going. Don't you dare go beating yourself up for wrong turns. Keep moving forward. Show up every day with good and strong purpose. Be the very best version of yourself. Remember those small deeds done every day keep the darkness at bay. Wash your face, take a shower, make your bed, call a friend, take a walk, eat a nutritious meal. Be kind to yourself. Do small deeds for others. Pick up some shopping, pay forward a coffee, let them out in traffic, smile, say hello. It is the everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Happy Wednesday. PM or call Brighter Days for an appointment.

Tuesday's thoughts. Love really is all about the *doing*! 💖 It's not just a fluttery feeling, but something you actively show through your actions. Think about all the little things that make up a strong relationship, whether that is friendship or a romantic relationship – those are acts of love in motion. Whether it's a helping hand or a listening ear, these gestures truly speak volumes. So let's focus on showing love today, not just feeling it! 🥰

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.
