Isn’t it funny how the weather is always a topic of conversation?

It can often be the influence of how we begin the day; you look out the window and see the rain and just want to pull the covers back over your head- you get that caveman feeling of not wanting to do today. Just wanting to stay right where you are, under the duvet!

Or maybe you spring out of bed, excited about what the day will bring you- hail, rain or shine?  

Now: I can’t control the weather; but I can control the way I allow it to make me feel- and so can you!

This month, I want to talk about positive quotes and how they resonate with us.

They might cause some of us to roll our eyes at the disingenuousness of it all- whereas for others, they love them.

Maybe some days you read them and they resonate with you and other days they’re just ‘woo woo’ clap-trap, completely disconnected from reality.

Someone sends you a quote on social media and you think “That’s so thoughtful!”- and then you realise they’ve sent the same quote and message to twenty other friends…

You see, it’s not actually about the quote itself, it’s about the connection: the thought it makes you think, the feeling it makes you feel.

When you wake up in the morning, what’s the first thing you do?

Do you get up straight away? Do you maybe snooze the alarm… up to 5 times? Reach for your phone? If so, which platform are you on? Social media, the news, your emails, your bank account?

Do you look at positive affirmations? Do you exercise when you wake? 

Do stretches? Can you truly, hand on heart, tell yourself you are setting yourself up for the best day ahead?

Are you taking in positive information? Talking to yourself in a positive way?

Are you giving your mind and body what it needs?

‘Thinking’ positive thoughts causes us to ‘interact’ positively and ‘act’ positively.

In the world of Hypnotherapy, we call these our 3P’s.

Setting out with the intention to have a good day.

Just do what makes you happy.

Please do feel free to share any favourite quotes with me, I’ll welcome them with open arms

So, can you really be your own best friend? 

Absolutely! And if you are willing to start, even in small ways, you may just find that the voice inside you becomes your greatest ally instead of your harshest critic.

You are worthy of your own kindness. You always have been…

You just need to tell yourself, that’s all!

This can be a good thing- if you feel you’ve achieved all the things you wanted to- but not so good if you're still in exactly the same place as you were when the year began.

This is all related to how we think; you see, our brains don't totally disconnect imagination and reality. If you tell yourself that you're exactly where you want to be, then your brain will agree and be at ease with that.

April is nearly over… it has a way of gently reminding us that nothing stays the same, don’t you think? 

The daffodils and bluebells bloom; the light stretches a little longer each day, and nature, well- it seems to exhale after the stillness of winter. 

It all begins with an idea.
