Organised

I’m currently feeling
Organised.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Got my plan for today sorted. Have set my intensions and am ready. That doesn’t mean every hour of my day is accounted for, but things I want to achieve are set in certain segments of the day. Admin first thing whilst C goes to Church. Then ringing. Ironing and other clothes sorting before lunch. Read and prep lunches for the week ahead after lunch. JWW. Then end the day relaxing, reading, whatever.

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?
Only presents for birthdays and Christmas from here to the end of the year.

My tasks for the day is…
Attack my other clothes stashed in the airing cupboard with the same vigour as doing my wardrobe on Friday. I know already there are several pairs of jeans that can go.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
Part of me thinks I’ve wasted all that money buying all these nice clothes only to give them away.

What thought will I practice instead?
Although I’m giving them all to my sister, she will take what she wants, then either sells, donating the money to charity, or takes them to her slimming class or to a charing shop. Either way, none of it goes to waste and someone else gets to enjoy them.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black faux leather trousers, bright pink tshirt, alpine zip cardigan. Going to be chilly walking to ringing this morning. Gibraltar bracelet. One & Eight hoop necklace and earring set. A bit edgy today.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Removing any items in the cupboard that answer the same 3 questions and enjoying what’s left.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
I shall read and complete the first weeks resources in My Year Without Clothes Shopping (MYWCS).

My progress and my blessings
Not having to navigate a pile of clothes on the armchair or hanging off the bannister has also started to give a sense of decluttering my surroundings. Perhaps that should be the next project!

What do I declare myself to be today?
Organised.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
Back to the fundamental 3 from Friday: Do I wear this item? Would I buy it again? Does my future self wear this?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
I know how much fun sorting the wardrobe was so will enjoy repeating the process. I will enjoy the items left to their fullest.
