Astute

I’m currently feeling:
Relieved.

My thoughts creating this feeling :
Yesterday went exactly according to plan. My course remained engaging all day, my lunchtime walk was refreshing in the sun. I wasn’t bombarded with emails about my project, which may be a good thing or not. I completed my scheduled tasks before going ringing. Ringing was quite enjoyable and I was complimented about the meeting I’d chaired the night before. Talk in the pub afterwards was interesting and entertaining.  I wore a dress to work, although changed to go ringing, even though I didn’t see anyone all day (my course was on line). Everything felt as it should.

My desired feeling:
Astute.

Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
I will probably get a call from my boss first thing this morning to ask me how yesterday went and let me know anything I need to about the project. I need to make sure she is confident in progress and has all the information she needs for various meetings she’s attending /chairing on my behalf. I need to remain engaged with day 2 of the course and not allow my nvid or focus to wander. I have a meeting this evening with some americans and need to feel what it is they want from us, what we can do, or want to do, with them and how to achieve it.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
wearing dress to work day 2. Not the one on top of the pile as the weather has turned nasty so picked one further down that is warmer and I can wear with knee high boots. Its body con so doesn’t allow the lumps and bumps to hide but at the time it feels sleek and sexy. Makes me hold myself more upright and hold my tummy in. Pearl earrings and bracelet and long necklace. Will be present for my course, taking notes to revise alllead of the exam next week. Will be positive and engaged for meeting this evening.

I will show up for myself by:
Sticking to my guns with the dress wearing despite the weather. Makes me feel more feminine, elegant and hold my posture differently.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Reading email threads to understand what is being asked for ahead of tonight’s meeting. Decide what, if anything needs to be done and how to do it.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
I have some perfume samples that came free when I bought R’s perfume for Christmas. I’m going to give them a try to see if they suit me and consider some different scents for myself.

Today I am:
Sleek.

Today I am grateful for:
The laughs C and I had last night on the way from the pub to the car when it was hammering it down with rain. I had no hood on my coat or an umbrella and got soaked. We got into the car and laughed at how wet we were. My legs were burning from having walked so fast.
