Keen

I’m currently feeling:
Apprehensive.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
First time at the dentist this morning, in over 3 years. Obviously, 2 of those were Covid wilderness, but even before that I was not a regular visitor. I feel it’s a bit like going to the doctors in that you should only go if there’s a problem. I do wonder sometimes if they say you need work done when you don’t really. last time I went they put a temporary filling in and told me to go back in 3 months to have a proper one done but when I did they told me it was fine and not to worry about it. I know I’m going to need work done. My teeth and gums are quite sensitive, particularly around certain times of the mouth. More so since I’m perimenopausal. At least they won’t actually do any work today, just poke around, maybe a bit of a scrape and tell me what needs to be done. Its another thing to tick off in my year of Health.

My desired feeling:
Keen.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
We have 2 bell handling sessions for today. One this afternoon and one this evening. In between I’m going to squeeze in a JWW. I’ll walk to the dentist and back, and we’ll certainly walk like down for the first bell handling session, if not both.

I’ve extended my borrowing of my current Libby book and will spend time trying to finish it. In between all the bursts of exercise I’m going to make sure I rest and relax.

I‘ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
So, lots of walking and ringing today. Grey jeans and lilac bamboo top. Gibraltar bracelet, Tiffany teardrop earrings and multistone hoop necklace. Practical but pretty!

I will show up for myself by:
Its acutally a big deal going to the dentist. I don’t like the smell, sound, feeling or discomfort of it all. I’m hoping the person will be kind and reassuring.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Plenty of walking, with a podcast. Relaxing reading with a cuppa in between.

I will show up for my extra ordinary goal by:
I’ll have a quick look and deal with any urgent issues but leave the rest until tomorrow when C’s out.

Today I am:
Positive.

Today I am grateful for:
The wonders of our healthcare system. Dad had his consultation yesterday and treatment plan confirmed. All good and ready to go. I’m getting dentistry treatment, and only have to pay minimum amounts. For a system that is struggling, it’s still doing good things.
