Golden

I’m currently feeling
Golden.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Yesterday was really rather good. Got most of my tasks done before 11am so started to watch the final chapter in the SOSI Slim Self Image course. I made myself a berry protein smoothie for lunch. I then had my Zoom meeting which was productive and insightful. I went back to SOSI and watched the first 2 chapters of the Wealthy Woman classes, hoping to find some ideas for my new EG of being financially savvy again. I learned how to calculate my net worth in the first session, then the second one was about your thoughts and relationship with money. I learned the hard way when I was 18 and had every credit card and store card going, then got a bill where the minimum monthly repayment was more than my take home pay. From that moment on I’ve never had a credit card or store card. I’ve never had a joint account until very recently since C’s been retired. I’m now much wealthier generally and until I decided my new EG was going to be around finance, if I wanted something, I bought it. I rarely even looked at the price tag. Gone from one extreme to the other. I read some, had a nap, did an Abs Challenge and a full JWW HIIT session. Gorgeous meal of citrus salmon and new potatoes. Watched TV, read some more, then bed. A really nice day.

My extraordinary goal for the year is…
To be financially savvy again. Planning for early retirement by getting back on track with understanding my savings, investments and pensions.

What result will I produce this month?
So far, I’ve spent £0 on clothes or jewellry this month. A saving of an average of over £2,000!

My tasks for the day is…
No scheduled admin today. We’re off to the theatre this afternoon to see Susie Dent. JWW. Read. Relax.

What thoughts are holding me back?
Days like yesterday and today really do make me feel I’m living the life I should be. I realise not every day can be that good. And at the moment I still need to go to work to earn. The more days like these I have, the more I want. I can see I’m really leaning into the SOSI lifestyle now.

What thought will I practice instead?
Because these days are few and far between, its what makes them so much more special. If they were all the same they’d become boring.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Wearing a lemon River Island sleeveless dress which has a thigh high split up the left leg. I reminds me a bit of ancient roman or grecian style. Its quite see through too, so had to be careful what undies to wear. A gold cuff bracelet, Oliver Bonus long chain gold necklace and Harvey & Ballard oblong gold earrings. Feeling very golden, very feminine and elegant for the theatre later.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
An afternoon at our local theatre listening to Susie Dent, who is a famous lexicographer. I used to listen to a podcast she was on describing various, now out of common use words. She’s on a TV show called Countdown, in Dictionary Corner, and there’s an “adults” version with comedians and slightly more riskay. I have one of her books on emotional words my sister got autographed for me when she saw her in Oxford a few years ago. Not sure if she’s promoting a new book or not. If she is, may well purchase a copy. Haven’t been to our local theatre for years.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Elegance. Grace. Refinement.

My progress and my blessings
My outfit has really lifted my self esteem this morning. Yesterdays learning and activities have really made me feel energised and ready to step into a new way of life.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Golden goddess.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How will I stay elegant and graceful today? How can I make this feeling last?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Go with it. Roll into this feeling. Accept it with ease. Be the person you are intended to be now, you don’t have to wait and you don’t need anyone’s permission.
