Reminded

I’m currently feeling
Reminded.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
I’ve been seeing photos on social media from the live SOSI event in New Orleans. Its reminded me of my SOSI journey so far. I started with Elegant as my word of the year in 2022. I upgraded my wardrobe and jewellry. I tried having a more elegant outlook a life. I started buying myself flowers every other week. I tried to improve my responses and considerations. I decided to do more of what I wanted to do rather than what others expected me to. I started to block negative people out of my life more. I started going to more elegant events and places more frequently. Over the last month or so I had let some of that slip a bit. Colder, wetter weather has meant I was wearing fewer dresses and nice tops. Not using my elegant jewellry so much, keeping with the general standard stuff. This morning I chose to remind myself even in the colder weather, I can still dress elegantly. The way you dress can influence and impact your attitude, and outcomes of your 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?
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…
A few meetings. Some admin to complete. Learners practice and main ringing practice this evening.

What thoughts are holding me back?
Need to go through the pile of clothes on the chair and probably re-iron some of it as these are my more elegant winter outfits. Need to remind myself who I am becoming.

What thought will I practice instead?
Reignite the elegance factor and upgrade my outfits, attitude and responses. Get back into the SOSI habit.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black trousers. White and black wrap over, satin blouse. Pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings. I can still wear trousers and make it elegant.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Pick a few pieces from the clothes pile and re-iron them if necessary, but get my outfits for the next few days lined up.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Elegant body, mind and soul.

My progress and my blessings
Yesterday I got all my chores completed and rewarded myself with reading and listening to music, dancing around the lounge whilst C was out.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Re-elegant.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I have elegant responses? How can I embody an elegant persona?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Re-engage memories and responses from previous work on elegance and remind myself what it was like and who I was when I practiced elegance before.
