I’m currently feeling:
Eucatastrophic.
My thoughts creating this feeling :
A happy resolution at yesterdays meeting. I thought worst case scenario would be having to give a years notice before being able to give up being Deputy District Master. However, I spoke with one of the younger ringers and asked how he’d feel about being proposed for the post. He asked why I was asking him so I explained that a) I didn’t want to do it anymore and b) it needed younger blood. He would be ideal as he’s really got into his ringing lately and is mobile and would be able to give a younger persons perspective. He said he thought it was something he could do, so I said I would propose him. I was rather glad it meant I could step down immediately.
My desired feeling:
Frobly-mobly.
Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
Indifferently well. Neither one thing or another. Going through the motions of the day. Household chores, ringing, meal prep and a virtual meeting. Just the usual Sunday type stuff that doesn’t require any massive level of excitement.
I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Again, practical for ringing and household chores. Black jeans and long, lilac top. Basic gold jewellry. Comfortable, practical and mildly feminine edge. Feel like one weight has been lifted so will enjoy some new found freedom of choice.
I will show up for myself by:
Preparing healthy mediterranean lunches for the week ahead, cutting out processed and sugary snacks.
I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Ticking off one role I no longer need to do having managed to escape it a year ahead of schedule. Will go through the diary and enter events dates so I can choose what to attend and support going forward.
I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Getting the ironing done and put away. Setting out my work clothes ready for tomorrow.
Today I am:
Relieved.
Today I am grateful for:
A hobby that you can choose to what extent to be involved. I have been on the management committee in one form or another for 30 years so it’s time to start letting others do things.
