I’m currently feeling:
Italian.
My thoughts creating this feeling:
Over the last 24 hrs lots of Italian vibes have entered my world. This week I have been following a Mediterranean diet using Italian inspired ingredients. I was leafing through one of my Christmas presents; a book of Italian scenic photos. Then my boss invited us to join a walking challenge equating to the mileage of crossing Italy coast to coast. We had to come up with a team name so put an Italian spin on it and called ourselves Belle Signore – Beautiful Ladies. When I was scrolling social media last night most of my feeds had Italian themes, whether food, scenery, or fashion. It is said we see more of what we focus on, like seeing a particular car once you’ve just bought that model. I’ve always had an affinity with Italiana. The food, the wine, the scenery and history. The women are more voluptuous than their waife like French counterparts. Maybe I identify more with a fuller body image. The men are passionate, although can sometimes just look like pretty boys festooned with showy bling.
My desired feeling:
Dolce for niente.
Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
Another Italianism meaning the pleasure of doing nothing. There’s a busy day of training and meetings ahead so l look forward to having an evening of not doing anything. It being Wednesday its Wine Wednesday so a glass or two would be well received. I wonder if it will be an Italian wine!
I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Over Christmas I spent several hundred pounds on a silk skirt and two silk dresses. I’m wearing one of the dresses which is burgundy in colour, my favourite colour. I have a lacy top, almost exactly the same colour, over the top as it’s a sleeveless dress, so you can only see the skirt part. Rose gold jewellry picking out the red of the dress. Heeled shoes hoping it’s not going to rain too much. Feeling very luxurious and ladylike, feminine and elegant.
I will show up for myself by:
Providing training and support to the team leaders, getting them prepared for Go Live.
I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Having an evening off answering emails and writing reports.
I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Silky and soft clothing, feeling luxurious.
Today I am:
Basking. In luxury, productivity, relaxation and rest.
Today I am grateful for:
Being persuaded to join the walking challenge which will motivate me into being more active, thus supporting my WOTY: healthy.
