Stoic

I’m currently feeling
Stoic.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
We lost yesterday’s peal, two thirds of the way though, due to a miss call. So my desire to accomplish 150 peals by the end of the year has fallen at the first hurdle. To be honest, I doubted I’d get there any way, given some of the other attempts lined up not giving me much confidence. So losing this one at the beginning takes the pressure off the rest. Had we have scored all of them til the last one, that would have piled the pressure on and would have been more devastating if we didn’t score it. Hey ho.

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?
On target to transfer £650 in 3 days time.

My tasks for the day is…
Southend today to coach a colleague. Handover from my boss later as I’m the only senior person in consistently for this week. Learners ringing session. Normal practice afterwards.

What thoughts are holding me back?
Slightly worried about the week ahead and being the only one in for several days. I know there’s a high chance something will kick off as my boss has already warned me. 

What thought will I practice instead?
I can only do my best with the information I have. Other things can wait.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black trousers and pink long sleeved blouse. Feminine, softer colours against the darkness. Gibraltar bracelet, multistone hoop necklace and diamond teardrop earnings.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Drive to Southend and catch up with everyone over there. Good coaching conversation.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Coaching. Teaching. Patience. Grace.

My progress and my blessings
My coaching skills seem to be going alright. Everyone says how well I do it and I’m a natural.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Relaxed.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I make today’s coaching session successful? How canl make good progress on my remaining projects?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
People say I’m a natural coach. My coachee always says I challenge him and give him new things to think about.
