Productive

I’m currently feeling:
Impressed.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
My year dedicated to my health has got off to a great start. I have been for my smear test, all good. As a result of that I now have BP medication keeping something I didn’t even know was a potential ticking time bomb under control. I’m more considerate of a low cholesterol diet to go with it. I’m monitoring my BP and heartrate regularly. As part of that monitoring process yesterday I booked in a slot for more blood tests.

Whilst I was in the booking frame of mind I tried contacting my former dentist surgery. i’m not a fan of dentists but know I’ll need some fillings sorted out and put it on my list of health things to take care of this year. Up until recently very few surgeries were taking adult NHS patients, but C mentioned the other day they had started to again. On the off chance I gave them a call yesterday and they are now registering NHS patients again, and still had my details. I’m now booked in for the earliest slot they could give me, end of April. My appointment is first thing so I won’t have to spend all day stressing over it. I was quite impressed with myself as this is probably the hardest thing for me to get back on track.

My desired feeling:
Productive.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Yesterday wasn’t a great day for achieving much. All my meetings were cancelled apart from a workshop in the afternoon about retirement options. Today is full of meetings, back to back. I’m hoping they all go ahead and there’s some real updates on project progress. I got the gist of things via the email’s but it would be useful to speak to people about what’s really going on.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Its bitterly cold today. I had thought to wear a dress and boots but changed my mind to trousers and jumper. Not particularly elegant or feminine but warm. As I’m going to be sat down most of the day, I want to be comfortable too. Gibraltar bracelet, star necklace, diamond hoop earrings. Basic but purposeful.

I will show up for myself by:
Focussing on actively completing. Particularly ringing emails. I’m out every might this week so will have little time to spend keeping up but will need to make a concerted effort.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
If I can get out at lunchtime, wrapping up and going for a walk.

Today I am:
Focussed.

Today I am grateful for:
My perseverance arand dentists. Not my favourite thing to do but I made a promise to myself to do it, and I’ve taken the first step in booking a check up. Celebrate the tiny wins.
