Festive

I’m currently feeling
Festive.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Meeting a colleague and friend for a Christmassy lunch today in a poshish restaurant in town. I’m going to totally embrace the ambience and luxuriousness of it. Definitely will involve bubbles. Should be really good fun. Then this evening C and I are going to our local RHS Garden to their Christmas lights festival where there’ll be more food and mulled wine or Baileys hot chocolate! I’m going to wrap some pressies up in the meantime. Full on festive fun 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?
Will transfer some cash just to be on the safe side to cover lunch and any other incidentals over the course of the weekend.

My tasks for the day is…
Wrapping presents, tidy R’s room ready for her arrival tomorrow, fun, festive lunch, probably nap for a while then off to see the lights.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
I’ve got an ideal vision of how I would like today to be, full of fun and laughter, good company, good food and drink, luxurious, relaxing and joyous. Don’t want any grumpy sorts ruining the day.

What thought will I practice instead?
Just going to enjoy every element. Sit with the feelings of luxury, fun and festivity.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Burgundy fake leather trousers. Cream, fluffy, cozy, Christmassy jumper,  I’ll probably live to regret later, as I may get too hot. Pearl earrings, necklace and bracelet. I think it looks quite classy, certainly feel luxurious in it.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Lunch with bubbles and fab company, in a decent and decadent restaurant. Should be a good laugh. Glow light festival this evening taking in more festiveness. Really looking forward to a day the future me would relish.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Fun, laughter, elegance and beauty for all my senses.

My progress and my blessings
Incredibly lucky to be able to experience nice things and share them with friends and loved ones.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Festive.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I maximise the enjoyment really embrace a day my future self would be proud of?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Go forth and have fun. The scales don’t matter today.
