Curious

I’m currently feeling
Curious.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
As to what today will unfold. We cancelled ringing this morning because too many people are away. That means the best part of 2 hrs to fill if you include the walk to the Cathedral and back. I have chores and a meeting later but a great open space with nothing particular to fill it with. There are plenty of things I could/should do. It would be nice to sort through various piles of things and clear space and surfaces. Most of which is C’s so I can’t do much there. What to do with these extra couple of hours?

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?
Got through the first week without frivious purchases, although exceedingly tempted by pretty things. Holding tight though and not spending anything during this coming week.

My tasks for the day is…
Massive pile of ironing. Food prep for the week ahead. Chair a meeting later. In between I could read, JWW, and/or catch up on some SOSI stuff I haven’t touched in ages.

What thoughts are holding me back?
One of those days where there’s time to tackle something, but the drive and inclination isn’t there. I want to spend the day in quiet luxury, no rushing, no hassle. Coming and going as the mood takes me.

What thought will I practice instead?
I can conquer ironing mountain which will make the lounge tidier for a start. I can start that earlier as I don’t have to go ringing. Get that out of the way and reward myself with some reading, JWW or SOSI. Get the food prep out of the way after lunch and reward myself again. Get the meeting out of the way and a final reward of the day. Block things together “if I finish this I can do/have this…”.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Blue jeans and a dusky royal blue top with some lace detail at the back. Gibraltar bracelet, One & Eight blue smoked glass necklace and earring set. Not going anywhere so don’t need to be too dressy, but comfortable and cosy.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Get stuff done, then reward myself with someting pleasurable.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Practice blocking chores and rewards.

My progress and my blessings
We scored yesterdays peal, athough it was rather choppy ringing, as the person I mentioned yesterday has no sense of rythmn as well as making mistakes. However, we got through it. Had a lovely glass of red wine and shared a nachos platter with C for lunch afterwards. A tyre pressure warning light has been coming on, infrequently, this past week on my car dashboard. C went out and pumped my tyres up for me yesterday afternoon so they’re winter pressure ready.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Blocking.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How will I reward myself after completing necessary chores? What will I set aside to wear to work for the week ahead?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
I know what needs to be done today, and what reward options are available. I can pair them up so plan my day accordingly.
