Mixed

I’m currently feeling:
Mixed.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Some good and not so good bits to yesterday. I started the day fully focussed and was making great progress until the points where I needed information from others. That then slowed, or even stopped progress. It was so hot in my office – 34 degrees celcius. The afternoon seemed to drag and I started feeling lethargic. Then I noticed someone has made a lovely long scratch down the side of my car! However, when I got home I got straight into a JWW. First one for nearly 3 weeks and it was very hot. I took it easy with lighter weights and stopped for a longer rest between exercises when I felt a bit dizzy. So glad to have got it done though. A lovely dinner then out to teach bellringing again. Thanks to a couple of our ringers coming to help, I was able to explain and take our learners into the first steps of call changes. They did really well considering it was their first goes. Came home and read for a while before sleep.

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?
Managed to avoid buying anything in M&S yesterday although there was a nice looking feta, cucumber and watermelon salad. I resisted the urge to a) spend money and b) not eat anything else.

My tasks for the day is…
Re focus on some tasks from yesterday. Go for a walk if its not too hot. Keep cool. JWW. Go ringing again. Issue questionaire.

What thoughts are holding me back?
Side tracked by other things. One task is not something I really want to do but others expecting it. Too hot.

What thought will I practice instead?
Get the task done and out of the way, then it’s no longer a problem. JFDI.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Grey, cotton, cropped trousers and royal blue, linen top. Trying to stay as cool as possible. Gibraltar bracelet. One & Eight matching blue smoked glass necklace and earrings. Cool, calm, collected.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
If It’s not too hot, go for a walk and listen to a podcast.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Focus. Patience. Self care.

My progress and my blessings
Scales of doom are showing almost back to pre holiday figures. Clothes fit more comfortably.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Cool.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I stay focussed? What do I need to do to get this task done? How can I add exercise into my day?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Put aside distractions. Just get on with it, I know I can get it done if I just get on with it. I’ll feel better once its done and out of the way.
