Holly Willoughby has opened up about how she deals with negative moments amid her extended This Morning absence.
Writing in her Wylde Moon newsletter, the ITV presenter, 42, candidly shared: "It can be so easy for your mood to spiral if you only notice the negatives that happen around you - things like missing your train, dropping your phone, spilling your coffee etc."

Elsewhere in her newsletter, Holly went on to explain how she seeks out little "glimmers" in an attempt to outweigh all the negatives.
"This is why this concept of 'glimmers' is so wonderful…it's so balancing," she revealed.

"From opening the curtains to a clear blue sky to the first sip of your morning coffee; from trees heavy with blossom to the bleep of text from a loved one, I urge you to join me in soaking up every little glimmer moment you see. If you can get to the point where the glimmer moments outweigh the trigger moments, you're sure to feel lighter and brighter."
Earlier this month, the mother-of-three took a break from her This Morning presenting duties. While the TV presenter has not spoken out publicly about her extended absence, it seems likely that Holly is simply making the most of the school holidays with her adorable brood.

Only last week, the queen of daytime TV mourned the loss of her mother-in-law, Sandra. Confirming the heartbreaking news on her Instagram, Holly posted a photo of her loved one and wrote in the caption: "Sleep well Sandra… Nonna, Mother, Sister, friend… To know her was to know strength itself.
She continued: "Raising four children after losing her husband, she then lost a son and more recently her sister… Thank you for your guidance, advice and bottomless Prosecco. Thank you for raising the incredible man I'm married to… I see your strength everyday in our children… Be at peace…Love you."
Meanwhile, Holly faced major upheaval when her co-star Phillip Schofield announced his departure from the show after 20 years in May.

In her emotional address, she said: "You, me and everyone here put our trust in someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had to resign from ITV and step down from a career that they loved.
"That is a lot to process. It's equally hard to see the toll it's taken on their own mental health. I think what unites us all now is a desire to heal for the health and well-being of everyone.
"I hope that as we start this new chapter and get back to a place of warmth and magic that the show holds for all of us, we can find strength in each other. From my heart, thank you for all of your kind messages."
