Fun

I’m currently feeling:
Pleased.

My thoughts creating this feeling :
Although I didn’t get to tick everything off my task list yesterday, I did manage to do the larger, harder, more time consuming tasks and tick off all but three of the smaller tasks. The one thing that wasn’t scheduled that prevented getting everything done was an impromptu live radio interview. I had been contacted about it earlier in the week but hadn’t heard back until I got a phone call mid morning inviting me into the studio later in the afternoon. It was too good an opportunity to miss so I put my inhibitions aside made a ton of notes to take with me, and headed out. The interview went well, I even had my photo taken with the DJ. I posted a link to it on social media and to the family Whats App group.  Six months ago I would have tried to get someone else to do the interview, or reluctantly done it but insisted on over the phone. Working towards my EG and confidence levels has made it far comfortable to put myself out there.

My desired feeling:
Fun.

Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
We’re going on a ringing outing today. Something that I said I wanted bo go on. C wasn’t particularly bothered. It’s been organised by a couple of young ringers to an area close by where my brother lives. It should be a good day out, pub lunch then a quick meet up with my brother, although won’t be able to hang around for long. Despite ringing and driving around several towers, it will be a fun day.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Need to be warm and practical today. Black jeans, lilac bamboo top that keeps you warm as well as flexible, but you don’t get too hot in it. Basic jewellry and comfy shoes. Looking forward to relaxing and letting someone else take charge, get involved as much as necessary.

I will show up for myself by:
Being fun loving, enjoying the day, making wise food choices. Will see my brother and sister in law briefly but be interested in what’s going on in their world, even though they probably won’t even ask anything about us.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Supporting these young ringers in their endeavours, offering encouragement and advice as necessary. Being a role model of paying it forward to the next generation.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
There will be some lovely churches to look around and ring at, some beautiful countryside scenery and a pub lunch.

Today I am:
On a roll.

Today I am grateful for:
The friendships that ringing brings. They may not be best friends, life long friends or just be passing acquaintances, but with ringing, it crosses most divides by way of age, gender, background and you’ll always find a welcome at another tower.
