Nervous

I’m currently feeling:
Nervous.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Had a good day ringing yesterday, with evening ringing and socialising ahead of today’s meeting. Got lots to set up and prep for today, including checking the video’s uploaded correctly as scheduled. My election is uncontested, so i’m not worried about that part, but I know there’s disquiet about a Motion that was tabled incorrectly and has caused quite a discussion offline about the competency of the Council. I’m sure the day will workout ok, and everything I’m involved in will be fine.

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?
Didn’t spend anything yesterday, likely to spend anything in the next 2 days, except for a coffee.

My tasks for the day is…
Set up for the meeting. Pass over responsibility for items other people need to own. Check video upload. Check what should be happening with banners after today.

What thoughts are holding me back?
My fellow Reps from Essex were bitching about the Motion, including an email they’d sent to C as an Essex Trustee to say they didn’t have any confidence in next year being right either. And this from the person who seconded my nomination! There is currently no one in the frame for PRO.

What thought will I practice instead?
The Motion was written by the outgoing Deputy President, and reviewed by the rest of the Exec. Neither the new President or myself had anything to do with it. I will perform my duties for today. I will reiterate the need for a PRO today and see if anyone comes forward.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Basic “uniform’. Jeans and a CCCBR AGM purple polo shirt. Same jewellry as yesterday as I didn’t bother packing anything else this time.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Breakfast in our hotel. Lunches provided, then beer and curry laid on this evening. The rest of the day stuck in the meeting.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Charm the Room again and speak to as many people as I can. Confident presentation. Humble acceptance of new role.

My progress and my blessings
Several people congratulated me last night, ahead of today’s meeting. I have everything I need to do under control.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Deputy President.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I charm the room? Who can I approach about PRO? How can I support my colleagues?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Everything I am responsible for is sorted. I was not contested, so slot right into the post. Several people have congratulated me alreedy. and think I’ll make an excellent job of it.
