Ecstatic

I’m currently feeling:
Ecstatic.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
We scored yesterday’s peal. I was so pleased, especially for C who spends hours and hours pouring over compositions. We went for tea and cake afterwards before returning to our room for a rest. C had a shower because he was drenched in sweat so I did half a JWW then had a shower myself. Spent a bit of time reading before joining the others for a rather nice dinner of beet fillet and lemon posset. Went back to our room to read for a bit. I decided to start massaging C’s back and shoulders which had the desired effect of holiday sex. Seems people in the room upstairs had the same idea by the sounds of it, unless they were spurred on by us!

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?
The only thing I purchased yesterday was a gift for someone, despite the many things I could have purchased for myself. I will continue to resist the urge.

My tasks for the day is…
Relax. I’m not ringing in today’s quarter. C is, so I’ll have to hang around, but I can go for a walk, read etc. It’s only a quarter peal today so not as long to wait. Long drive to our next destination. Maybe fit in another JWW.

What thoughts are holding me back?
Lots more travel today. I am feeling tired but need to stay present for C who must be way more tired than me. He has more ringing and driving today.

What thought will I practice instead?
Be awake and vital make sure he’s ok. Ofter to drive if he would like a rest.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black jeans and blue V neck tshirt. Simple, practical, comfortable. Gibraltar bracelet, One & Eight hoop necklace and earring set.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Time for a walk this morning before we leave Inverary, so may visit the castle briefly. I may also have time for a walk at Dunblane whilst C is ringing.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Self restraint. Ease off ringing today, and enjoy opportunities for walking and reading, and maybe a JWW.

My progress and my blessings
Learning things about people we only know in a ringing context. Day off ringing for me today.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Restrained.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I add exercise to my day? How can I feel vibrant when I really feel tired? How can I support C best today?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
There is time for a walk before checking out this morning. If its dry in Dunblane i’ll have time for another walk, or some reading. I am not required to do any ringing today so can relax.
