Intrigued

I’m currently feeling
Intrigued.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
We have a strategy away morning, over breakfast, in a restaurant in town this morning. So far, I haven’t seen any information, agenda or requirements. It will feel odd having those sorts of conversations in a public place, not that any of it is secretive, but also not being able to use laptops and whiteboards and post it notes! I’ve already said I’m not going to take my laptop in but will take a notebook. So this morning’s routine has been thrown out a little. I don’t need to get my breakfast and lunch packed. C has made coffee as usual, but I’ll leave it until I get back home. I will work from home for the rest of the 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?
Only presents for birthdays and Christmas from here to the end of the year.

My tasks for the day is…
Breakfast strategy meeting. At least I’ll get some steps in! Work from home. JWW. My wooden hangers arrived yesterday and C has suggested I deal with them today, so the discarded plastic one can be put out with the recycling tomorrow.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
I find working from home hard. C is usually on his PC at the desk next to mine in the study. I know he’s not watching what i’m doing, but I do find it harder to stay focussed.

What thought will I practice instead?
I will probably have things to do as a result of this morning’s session and have some coaching admin to finish. Also have some processes to finish writing up. Plenty to keep me busy if I get on with it. Then, of course, I don’t have the commute so can get straight into my JWW.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Don’t need to get dressed up, so faux leather trousers, black and white flecked jumper. Gibraltar bracelet, pearl stud earnings, and multi strand necklace. Bit rock chick today.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Wrapped up walk into town this morning. Its going to be very cold. At least I won’t have to defrost the car. Brisk walk in the fresh air before lovely, healthy breakfast.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Listening, sharing, supporting.

My progress and my blessings
C’s ex was there last night. Apart from acknowledging her at the beginning, I ignored her, and her husband the rest of the evening. Of course, she had to find an excuse to talk to C and stand near him.

What do I declare myself to be today?
At odds.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I help my colleagues? What wisdom do I have to share with them? How can I make things easier for my boss?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
It should be quite fun this morning. Different at least. No idea how it will go, or what we’ll get out of it.
