Refined

I’m currently feeling:
Disappointed.

My thoughts creating this feeling :
Trivial, I know, but I was expecting my next Stitch Fix delivery yesterday but it didn’t arrive. The tracking says it’s still in a distribution centre somewhere up north, meaning its probably at least another 2 days away. I was looking forward to gouis through the items, trying them on and working out when I was going to wear them and what with. Bigger issues going on in the world, I realise, however when you are expecting something and it doesn’t arrive, the disappointment is real. Obviously. we are taught that feelings are only thoughts, and we can control our thoughts. I did get over it quickly, and shifted my thoughts to looking forward to the surprise of when it does arrive. I’ve also ordered some new jewellry so that should arrive on the next couple of days too.

My desired feeling:
Refined.

Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
I’m wearing a dress today. It’s in autumnal colors so goes well with my colour palette. Wearing dresses and skirts always makes me feel more refined, which is why I am trying to wear them more often. I always feel I have to up my game on a Tuesday as there’s a colleague at work who always looks amazing. She’s only in this office on a Tuesday so its fairly predictable when I really need to think carefully about what I wear. I feel I need to up my game to be anywhere as near as well dressed, groomed and put together.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
It has a long slit up one side and a peek hole, I don’t know the technical term for it, at breast level, slowing the meeting of my cleavage but without spilling anything out or being vulgar. I’m pairing it with gold drop earrings I was given by a friend before my wedding and a simple bracelet. I’m not wearing a necklace as it wouldn’t sit right with how the dress is made. Brown, knee high boots will work well with it. This dress is making me feel more lady like and I will be careful how Isit so the split doesn’t reveal too much.

I will show up for myself by:
Practicing what I want to become. Wearing dresses more often, even casually, helps with that. I makes me more concious of low Isit, move and hold myself. It makes me pay more attention to accessories, and the overall look.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
I have a number of things to do this evening, and woke up thinking of another task to add to my list.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Listening to uplifting, entertaining and informative podcasts on key Lunchtime walk. Another thing my daughter put me on to.

Today I am:
Practicing femininity.

Today I am grateful for:
A colleague who makes me raise my game. An example to be inspired by and who often comments on how good I look.
