Happy Days

Hello Bright Community! Welcome to today's episode of BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD Podcast. I am Kelly Ward - your host.  I hope your week has been really beautiful and I am so excited to be spending time with you.  So today I want to discuss how self-defeating self-pity is and how we need to rise up from the struggles we may face today and turn those difficult times into strength to propel us forward. The pain and struggle that you may face right now is going to serve as strength for you tomorrow. The one thing in life that is certain is CHANGE. Therefore you need to always enjoy the good moments and work through the worst moments you endure, because on the other side of that struggle is power. You need to really focus on being someone who doesn't shy away from a challenge, but embraces it, because whether you win or lose, you always win, because you either WIN or you LEARN something valuable. Know that even though a situation may be difficult for you today, those difficult times are g

 Hello beautiful people! Welcome to BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD Podcast - I am Kelly Ward - Your host.  So I hope everyone has been enjoying their week. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous these last few days because it is Summer time and I have just been soaking up all of the sunshine and good vibes, so I hope you have had an amazing week so far.  Today I want to discuss how to show up for yourself even when you don't feel like it.  So what does showing up for yourself mean? Well...it basically means making choices that honor your emotional, physical, mental and  spiritual wellbeing. This is how we choose to take care of ourselves. Sometimes we go through struggles in life where we feel defeated and we feel down, and we find it hard to take care of ourselves, because all we want to do is run away from the pain or stress we are feeling. During those difficult times is when you need to really show up for yourself, even when you don't feel like it.  In order to really show up for yo

I hope you are doing good and staying positive - I am so excited to be spending some time with you.  Thank you so much for joining our Bright Community where we focus on the bright side by remaining cheerful and positive about a bad situation, by thinking of some advantages that could result from those challenges we experience in life and maintaining a bright perspective overall because the situation or challenge may not be as bad as we tend to make it in our minds, and I strongly believe that we are never given something that we cannot handle.  *Subscribe - Apple Podcasts - Follow - Spotify* Self care is becoming a more talked about topic, because so many of us are experiencing moments of anxiety, depression and stress.

 Hello beautiful people! Welcome to HAPPY DAYS Podcast - I am Kelly Ward - Your host.  I hope you are doing good and I am super keen to be spending time with you today.  *Subscribe - Apple Podcasts - Follow - Spotify * Today I wanted to discuss overthinking and basically overthinking is when you tend to dwell or worry yourself about the same thought repeatedly. So many people overthink situations in their minds and may actually struggle to be present in the moment or be able to make any decisions in their lives because they are constantly consumed by worry. Overthinking can contribute towards depression, anxiety and other mental health issues, so today I am here to help you to overcome that feeling so that you can live your best life.  Firstly, how many of you actually suffer from overthinking? I know that I have and do sometimes, and I have to literally check in with myself so that I can snap out of it and step back into the present moment. Think about it this way, our thoughts create

The reason why I love meditation so much is because it allows you to slow down, detach yourself from your thoughts and bring yourself back to the present moment, which will calm
