I’m currently feeling:
Excitedly nervous.
My thoughts creating this feeling:
Today is the coronation of King Charles III and bellringing will be happening all over the Uk today, tomorrow and Monday, because I said so. For us today, we’re attempting a full peal which should last about 3.5 hrs if successful. No reason on paper why it shouldn’t be, but anything can happen from people losing concentration, the conductor could miss call it, or a mechanical fault. I hope everyone brings their A game and it goes well. C is conducting it and has put huge effort into learning the composition. I’m nervous about that bit.
Then this afternoon our 3 new recruits will take part in some general ringing with other members of our band who were not in the peal. It’ll be their first time ringing in with others, so a major leap for them. We’ve bought biscuits and prosecco to celebrate with them afterwards. I’m excited about that part of the day. We probably won’t be home until about 5pm so will have missed it all and will watch it on catch up tomorrow.
My desired feeling:
Successful.
My thoughts creating this feeling:
I will do my best to concentrate throughout the peal and not give reason for it to fail. I will then enjoy the afternoon ringing and celebrate with our learners. I’m looking forward to that bit most.
I‘ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Ringing practical today. No fancy underwear, peal ringable bra on that doesn’t dig in anywhere. Jeans and red tshirt. No bracelet today as it will get in the way, but birthstones necklace and diamond stud earrings.
I will show up for myself by:
I will do my best to ring well this morning and concentrate on the method.
I will upgrade my surroundings by:
I will celebrate with our new recruits as they Ring for the king in their first performance.
I will show up for my extra ordinary goal by:
Today is all about the ringing, Everything I’ve been working on with the press and media in the build up for today. I’ll be glad when its done.
Today I am:
Ringing.
Today I am grateful for:
Everyone who has supported ringing, teaching, media coverage etc. Ringing hasn’t had This level of publicity ever. But can’t wait for it to be over and my inbox reduces and phone stops ringing.
