Euphoric

I’m currently feeling
Euphoric.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Absolutely had a blast yesterday. Quick admin got rid of some emails. Went with town and bought several bits towards Christmas, but also bought myself a new pair of ankle boots as the current ones were knackered. Also ordered some lovely wooden coat hangers for the wardrobe to make everything hang nicely. Got home, had a quick lunch, then attacked the wardrobe. Took everything up from the pile on the chair, all the bits that were hanging on the bannister and everything out of the wardrobe. Piled it all on the bed. Remembering the 3 questions and the rule of only needing one or two of similar items, I gave each item no longer than about 2 seconds to decide to keep or not. Now of it was in bad condition so I didn’t have to decide between donate or throw. As I put things back I put the hangers the other way arond so I’ll be able to tell if I wore it or not later. It didn’t take as long as I thought it might. Five bags of clothes ready for T to look through then she can decide to sell or donate whats left. I probably reduced my content from nearly 200 items down to 72! I posted pics and the story on SOSI facebook and got lovely comments, and people being inspired to do the same. One woman put me onto a lady who runs a yearlong programme on how to master the habit of not buying more clothes It cost £80 to sign up, so I did!

Then, I read most of Sweet Sharing: Discovering the REAL You by Ankush Jair. Then had a blast doing a full JWW really pushing myself again. Felt fantastic afterwards. And to top it all off, this morning’s scales say I’ve lost another lb, therefore the lowest I’ve been since 5th August 2021! Boom!

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?
Bought new boots and joined the year of not buying clothes programme. Hey, ho!

My tasks for the day is…
Ringing training day all day. Helping out in C’s group on Conducting Grandsire. Something I should probably learn to do. No workout today as ringing all day will be enough.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
Need to be careful what to have for lunch. It’ll be in a pub and our main meal of the day. Still need to make a wise choice though.

What thought will I practice instead?
I’d aim for the least worst options. I’m going to take a smoothie with me for breakfast so I don’t get tempted by too many biscuits!

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black jeans and a bright purple tshirt I rediscovered yesterday. Got my Alpine zip up cardigan over the top as its chilly today. Gibra ltar bracelet, amethyst cube stud earrings and borthstones necklace. Warm and comfortable for ringing all day.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Ringing with new and old friends. Pub lunch. Looking forward to seeing how the students get on.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Support. Charm. Patience.

My progress and my blessings
I feel so free and liberated after the wardrobe declutter. I can’t wait to do the same for other clothes in the airing cupboard and really only have the essentials.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Liberated.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How will I ensure I don’t get side tracked into buying more clothes when I see something I like?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Right now, I’m in such a good place and excited about my wardrobe again.
