Hopeful

I’m currently feeling:
Ready.

My thoughts creating this feeling :
The first day of 2023 is here. Start ofa new year. Start of a new word of the year. Start of new hope. Start of new opportunities. Start of seriously letting go to accomplish my EG.

My desired feeling:
Hopeful.

Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
I’ve mapped out a health plan for every part of my body, and have already made a start on some of it. Time to really invest in achieving the rest of it. From the top of my head to the tips of my toes I have listed things to work on my mind and body, inside and out. Some of it will be easier to achieve than others, and some of it may be out of my control. However, I plan to be fitter and healthier in a sustainable way by the end of 2023.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Back to some sense of normality today. A normal Sunday. Ringrig first, so practical clothes. Green jeans and grey top. Basic jewellry so it doesn’t get in the way. I am a bit ahead of the game with chores as I did the ironing the other day, so I can focus on a really good, healthy start to the year and have some time to experiment with home exercise.

I will show up for myself by:
Focussing on health right from the start. A walk into the Cathedral some raising, then walk home. A coffee and light snack (I haven’t had any breakfast, apart from a coffee). then, investigate some home exercise options. I’ve already found a short, low impact cardio YouTube video I could do. I might try it for size.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
This is the year I can start resigning from, or even totally give up on some of my ringing voluntary roles. I have my exit plan with all the necessary dates of meetings where I can either give notice, or not allow myself to be put up for re-election.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
I have set myself a reading challenge to read at least 12 books this year. It may not seem a lot to some, but when you don’t have much time, and out of the habit, or easily distracted, reading doesn’t really take priority. I have downloaded an App which I can keep track on. I have 7 books already to read that I’ve been holding off starting until today.

Today I am:
Starting a healthy year with healthy choices and activities.

Today I am grateful for:
The year of Elegance, which was actually only bmoths, but it has Shown me the way to reinvent myself. I have changed iin many ways, not just the way I dress, but the way I think, act, speak what I engage with and who. Already I see a change for the better. And look forward to 2023 capitalising on elegant health.
