Included

I’m currently feeling:
Included.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Had a lovely day exploring another castle as we started to head further north. Another step oftina small town to kill some time, then headed into Scotland. We arrived at the hotel first and had first dibs on the rooms. We weren’t selfish and chose a basic double room rather then the Executive Room which was on offer. The others all arrived within the next half hour and via the What’s App group, most of us agreed to go to the same place for dinner. One couple opted to go somewhere else on their own. However, we had a lovely meal and a good catch up and chat about all sorts of things from children’s exam results to gin and beer choices. It was actually a pleasant evening.

My extraordinary goal for the year is…
Being financially savvy. I used to know all about my finances, life insurance, pensions, etc but over the years not really needed to bother to be worried about them. My EG is to help towards early and comfortable retirement in 3-4 years. I need to get on top of my spending, investments and plans.

What result will I produce this month?
My plan this month is to not purchase any new clothes or accessories. I don’t need any more, and have nowhere to put them anyway. I spend nearly half my take home on clothes.

My tasks for the day is…
To ring well and help score our first peal of the tour. I have already put dibs on the treble for one of the next ones. Move to the next location and circulate again in the evening. Not much opportunities for site seeing but will see some lovely scenery enroute.

What thoughts are holding me back?
I should be ok for today’s method and peal attempt. Then we travel, so don’t meet up again until this evening.

What thought will I practice instead?
I am a valued member of this group. I can ring almost all of the methods of choice. I am not the least competent person in the group.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Practical today for ringing. Cropped jeans and tshirt. Gibraltar bracelet which I’ll have to remove for ringing, birthstones necklace and diamond stud earrings. I have a different top and jewellry to change into later.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Being part of the conversation. Not allowing myself to be spoken over or omitted from the conversation.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Competent ringing. Charm the Room and engaging with others.

My progress and my blessings
Its payday today, so officially the start of no spending month. So far this holiday I have not bought anything apart from some second hand books for £7.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Engaged.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I be charming, interesting and interested?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Most of the day will be travelling, after the ringing, so no need to be conscious about what I say or do.
