What Readers Are Saying

Anna's Rays of light have been little nuggets of food for thought for me.
Some have really rung true with me whilst others have pushed me to question why I find it so difficult to praise, promote and love myself.
I like that each post is short and to the point.
I also like that I have been able to use them as conversation starters with friends.
I hope that today's Ray about repetition will inspire me to actually 'do' THAT!
Repeat and embed positive thoughts about myself and what I want to do or achieve in life 🤔🤷‍♀️🤞

Is so easy to bogged down and overwhelmed these days but the reality is that so many of my stresses and strains are just insignificant when I really think about them and a little daily reminder of what’s truly important helps me focus and push out the negativity. Thank you Anna x

The Rays of Light posts are inspiring and motivating, they encourage mindful thinking and reflection through the use of small but meaningful reflective questions. They encourage self-love and promote a supportive, calming and reassuring energy that helps ease stress or worry.

I do like the nice short message of the day way you are doing it. Something that can be read quickly and thought about at leisure or in a quiet moment.

Why I Created Rays of Light

After years coaching people through the ups and downs of health — sugar cravings, energy crashes, overwhelm — I realised how powerful small shifts can be. One idea, one reminder, one reframe can change your day, even your direction.

Rays of Light offers that: small, consistent sparks of support, without pressure or fluff. Just science-backed insight, a dash of inspiration and gentle encouragement to keep going.

You don’t have to do it all. You just have to begin.

You put into words what is on my mind. Or lingering at the back of my head. And yes, to see it as a phrase in writing, right before my eyes does open an eye or two for me. Keep up the good work! ❤

I really love your inspirational posts. They really resonate with me

Often times we forget the most important love is self love. The site provides great affirmations that even in our toughest moments, we are enough.

I have been receiving Anna’s Ray of Lights now for several months. Each morning they pop into my inbox and give me something to think about and consider on a daily basis. I was lucky enough to recently win a competition Anna ran and won a lovely pen, a journaling book with ten top tips on journaling. I cannot recommend Ray of Light enough if you’d like a daily thought provoking prompt.
Claire

About Anna Lycett, health coach & the author of Rays of Light

My name is Anna Lycett and I am a certified gym instructor and nutrition enthusiast with experience working as a professional health and wellbeing coach on the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. My passion? A holistic approach to health that goes beyond the surface, empowering you to unlock your full potential. I focus especially on nutrition, habits and the transformative power of self-discovery through journaling. These three elements are simple but powerful and I chose them because, well, they work.

My inspiration? A personal health journey started with very little medical guidance and a lot of trial and error. Faced with health issues that left me feeling hopeless, I slowly learnt and discovered the transformative impact of a holistic approach. Now, I'm here to share that knowledge, together with my experience as a professional health coach, and guide you towards a healthier, more vibrant life. Ready to embark on this journey with me? Let's make every step count and reclaim your health together.
