Light

I’m currently feeling:
Stuffed.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Although I haven’t been eating breakfasts this week, I haven’t gone hungry by any stretch of the imagination. Yesterday we just pottered about at home. I did some work, read, and not much else purposeful. We went into town for lunch where I had a sausage and egg bagel. Didn’t really fancy anything else off the menu. We were going out for dinner as a belated birthday treat. We only went as far as the local Turkish restaurant. There seemed to be a much slimmed down version of the menu so not much to choose from. I ended up with Hummus followed by chicken beyti. It was all very nice but rather filling. Felt compelled to have a dessert nonetheless. Spent the rest of the evening reading and napping. Still feel stuffed this morning and the scales reflected that!

My desired feeling:
Light.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Light in both mind and body. We’re off out today to an English Heritage place in Bedfordshire. There’ll be plenty of walking around in the fresh air and the site we’re visiting. We need to make sure R has had something to eat before we go as she doesn’t travel well and almost came a cropper on Tuesday when we went to suffolk. Today’s journey will be longer than that.
Yesterday needed a bit of input regarding ringing enquiries following a very successful TV piece in the morning that was repeated during the day. I ended up giving another radio interview in the afternoon. I’m trying not to let other people’s comments wind me up. People who were filmed were congratulated for it, and rightly so, but who do they think set it all up? Some are bragging about how much work this has created for them to deal with the administration of enquiries, but this is what we’re paying them to do. Also, when we did it for Ringing Remembers we had over 3500 enquiries to handle and no one was being paid for it. They’ve only had 400 so far and are complaining about being snowed under. I’m trying hard not to get involved in that.

So today I shall focus on eating well and small, gentle exercise, and fresh air. Not stressig over dealing with media requests.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
We’ll be out and about walking and the weather is overcast and possibly rainy later. Jeans, jumper and walking boots the order of the day, without overheating. Gibraltar bracelet, birthstones necklace and stud earrings that match the colour of my jumper. Comfortable, warm but not not too warm.

I will show up for myself by:
Eating light meals, walking, taking in the location.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Taking the day off being involved in TV, radio and any other bellringing requirements.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Visiting an English Heritage site, grounds, gardens and house. Having a light lunch out and watching the world go by.

Today I am:
Out of the office!

Today I am grateful for:
Organisations like English Heritage and National Trust who look after, preserve and conserve buildings and sites of importance so we can discover our pasts and have a sense of what life used to be like.
