Snugly

I’m currently feeling
Snugly.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
At this precise moment I have that afterglow you get from having a lovely warm, scented shower and putting comfortable, soft clothes on afterwards, knowing I’m mostly indoors today, on this slightly cooler autumn day. I have the scent of the shower gel wafting as well as the scent of fabric softner on my clothes. I guess this is a sense of hygge. A quality of cosiness and comfortable conviviality that  engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being.

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?
No spending on frivolous one-offs, clothes or accessories.

My tasks for the day is…
CC meeting at 10am to discuss workgroup alignment with the Three Pillars. This afternoon we have visiting ringers at the Cathedral and have been asked to join them as they don’t have a strong band for ringing on 12. JWW before dinner. Then the rest of the evening in peace.

What thoughts are holding me back?
Need to get up to speed with learning London Royal again. Haven’t rung it in a long time, so need to refresh ahead of Sunday evening but don’t really want to do that today.

What thought will I practice instead?
If I have time, and if the mood takes me, I’ll have a quick practice whilst my laptop is on.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black jeans and turquoise cotton top. Soft, comfortable and practical for later. Gibraltar bracelet and One & Eight hoop necklace and earring set.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Ringing later with people I’ve never met before. Tidy up my corner of the lounge a bit.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Openness, inclusion, involvement.

My progress and my blessings
Had a good, friendly online ringing session last night with friends and family. Quite relaxed and everyone made progress as the evening went on.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Hygge.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I participate in today’s meeting in a constructive way? What will I learn from moving on to the next element of the Zoe study around my gut health?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
I’ll be fine. Stay warm and cosy. Read and chill.
