Kvellful

I’m currently feeling:
Obsessed.

My thoughts creating this feeling :
My colleagues and I are taking part in a virtual walking challenge where we pit ourselves against other teams to walk the same mileage as coast to coast across Italy from Venice to Genoa. The challenge started at 9am yesterday and runs for two weeks. My sister also got some of her colleagues signed up for it. I have been watching both our own team leaderboard and the full leaderboard throughout the day to see how we’ve been getting on. We started the day strong in 3rd place thanks to one person having a morning gym session. At one point we’d dropped down to the twenties but finished the day in the top five. That was partly due to one persons step counter double counting. Otherwise we’d have probably still been in the twenties. Sadly, it seems this first day has me at the bottom of the team board. Two go to the gym on Mondays, one has a dog to walk at least twice a day, whilst I’ve been sat at a desk testing. I’m hoping things even out a bit more tomorrow otherwise this would be a sad reflection of my sedentry lifestyle. We are however, miles, quite literally, ahead of my sisters team. I’ve said I don’t care where we come overall, so long as its higher than them.

My desired feeling:
Kvellful.

Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
The pride and joy in someone else’s accomplishment. One of my colleagues went for an interview yesterday for a role that would be a bit of a developement role for them, but something within their abilities to grow into. They asked me to review their personal statement before submitting the application. Then asked my advice on interview techniques and we even did a bit of a mock interview. They should find out today it they were successful or not. I am of course hoping they are and there is cause for celebration. I would be proud of their achievement and be happy to have them take this role on. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Long brown/black dress with a russet coloured very long cardigan over the top. Brown boots. Gibraltar bracelet, birthstones necklace and diamond hoop earrings. Despite the cold and wet, trying to stick to wearing dresses and skirts where possible. Several things dotted about in the diary and hoping for some good progress and positive vibes from the day.

I will show up for myself by:
Committing to wallking and getting my steps up so I’m not last on the team leaderboard.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Need to do some serious work over the next few days. I have a couple of reports to write, a project brief and plan for a filming event.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Trying to find a different route to walk as one of the footpaths has been closed off.

Today I am:
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Today I am grateful for:
Colleagues who do their best to help resolve issues. Yesterday I couldn’t print something particular off due to access rights but a couple of colleagues worked on the problem most of the day to rectify it for me.
