Tuesday's thoughts Every day your best might look different but every day please be assured your best is enough. If you want to postpone something then do. Never be afraid to honor your feelings. You are the best judge of what you feel capable of on any given day. Some days we are full of energy and enthusiasm, nailing the gym, eating healthy, focused at work, attending to our family and friends needs and somedays we need rest. Allow yourself to rest when you need to. Stay silent if you are too tired to speak. If you don't feel like tackling a new project don't. Face today's difficulties with today's energy. If the news is making you feel anxious, switch it off. Days don't always need to be filled. You are enough by simply being you. So whether today is a high energy kind of day or a day filled with restful contemplation and reflection just be true to yourself. Happy Tuesday.

Monday's motivation. Today I will not stress over things I can't control. I will keep the focus on me and the next step. The key is this; meet today's problems with today's strength. Don't start tackling tomorrow's problem until tommorrow. You do not have tomorrows strength yet but you have enough for today. You cannot change other peope's thoughts, behaviours or actions. Your power lies in controlling your reactions. So today give yourself permission to stay present, to follow your own path and let the things you can't control just be. Happy Monday.

Sunday's wisdom. Today pick your own path and your own pace. We all need a day to slow down regroup and recharge. I hope today is a day where you take time to sit down enjoy your coffee and really taste it. I hope your playlist re-enegises you and makes you want to dance. I hope you feel the warmth of someone's smile and the magic of a kind touch. I hope you take time today to focus on all that you have and all that you are rather than focus on what you want to change. Today I hope you fall in love with yourself and fall in love with your life. Today take time for you. Happy Sunday.

Saturday's feelings. The grass isn't greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it. Water your own grass and stop comparing your life to those of your neighbours, family, friends and celebrities. Comparing only brings discontentment, envy, jealousy. Comparison is the thief of joy. Nurture your own garden with gentle care and watch your life blossom. Be uniquely you. Be bold, be brave, be amazing. Do you for you. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it. Happy watering and have a lovely Saturday. .

Friday's feelings.. I am sure you are all enjoying the anticipation of Spring in the air. Day light hours getting longer and double digit temperatures bringing hope of brighter days ahead. I thought I would share this photo of my lovely Camillia with the blue sky in the background that I took in my garden yesterday. This for me was a symbol of hope and reminder that light always, always follows darkness. So many have felt the darkness of the winter months but remember it is always darkest before the dawn and dawn always comes. A lovely reminder from nature that out of the darkness, colour blooms. Nature reminding us that new life is always an option. New thoughts, new ideas, new hopes and dreams. My camillia has spent the winter in darkness preparing to bloom. We can too. Rainbows appear after mighty storms when things look there very worst. Good times and bad times pass. So if you are in the dark remember brighter times are coming. Always remember a rainbow is coming. If you need help looking for it PM Brighter days for an appointment. Happy Friday.

Wednesday's wisdom. Always be a giver. The takers may have more but the givers sleep better. Always leave someone feeling better than they did before your encounter. People will forget what you did but they will never forget how you made them feel. Make them feel special, loved, respected and valued. The role they play in your life is not relevant to how you treat them. Do not treat someone based on their worth to you or your need of them. Leave everyone you meet today feeling better because of their experience with you. We never know what anyone is going through, so just be kind, always. It's that simple. Your smile is your logo. Your personality is your business card. How you leave others feeling after their experience with you becomes your trademark. How have you left people feeling? Pm Brighter Days for an appointment.

Monday's motivation. I'm not impressed by money, social status or job titles. I'm impressed by the way someone treats other human beings. It's so inspiring to see people treating each other with genuine kindness and respect. ✨ That genuine empathy and understanding really makes a difference in the world. It's the little things, like a listening ear or a helping hand, that truly shine. Seeing that humanity in action is like seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night! 🗼 It reminds me that compassion is a superpower we all possess. Let's all aim to be that kind of person today! 💖

Mothering Sunday. To all my wonderful mothers doing their best for their family every day I applaud you. Happy Mother's Day.🥰 For all those mothers who are missing their precious children today, grieving mothers, those of you missing your mum's and those who desperately want to be a mum, those who were never mothered in the way they deserved. Mother's Day can be so bitter sweet for many reasons. I hope today will be as gentle as it can be. Thinking of you all. ❤

Friday's feeling. With summer on the horizon there is a massive marketing drive on tv and social media around getting in shape for summer. Diet culture, summer bodies🙄,restrict. We spend so much time thinking about what we should or could give up to improve or physical health and our image. Giving up alcohol, sugar, carbs, takeaways etc. You can look as fit in your swimwear as you like but if you are not putting that same effort into your mental health you will never feel like the best possible version of yourself, the strongest, the most resillient, self compassionate and accepting. Have you ever thought about what you can give up to improve your mental health? Here are a few ideas to get you started. Quit trying to please everyone, fearing change, living in the past, putting yourself down, overthinking. How can you get in better mental health for everyday, not just summer? PM Brighter Days Counselling for an appointment.

Thursday's thoughts. Love yourself like it's your job. Because it is. Get into the habit of asking yourself "does this support the life I am trying to create?" It is your job to make decisions which are in your best interests. It is your job to take responsibility for your own happiness. It is your job to look after your physical health and support your mental wellness. You are the best project you will ever work on. Love yourself like it's your job. Happy Thursday. .
