Rested

I’m currently feeling
Rested.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Napped in the car on the way home. Chilled out for a while before walking into town for ringing, and back. Bashed out an excellent JWW before dinner. Probably the last one until after Boxing Day now. Rested after dinner and eventually fell asleep, woke up in time to go to bed and slept right through. feeling more awake this morning and raring to go.

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?
I will need to make some purchases in January, particularly perfume and face wash, that aren’t really on the frivilous list but not on the everyday shopping items. But I’ll wait until after Christmas in case the perfume is in the sales.

My tasks for the day is…
Pop in to town quickly to get flowers and a few other little bits. Await R’s return this afternoon. Maybe get some admin out of the way. More carol service ringing early evening followed by dinner, then chill out. Get some reading done.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
The book I’m currently reading is nonfiction so harder to pick up and just blast through. I want to get it finished by the end of the year to count as my final reading challenge for 2023.

What thought will I practice instead?
If I read a few pages here and there instead of being sidetracked by games I’ll get it done.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Black jeans, black and white striped top. Gibraltar bracelet, birthstone necklace and diamond stud earrings. Simple.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Final preparations for Christmas. A bit of tidying up to do to clear some surfaces. Fresh Christmas flowers to brighten the lounge up.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Serenity. Calm. Stillness.

My progress and my blessings
I have a few days at home with R before we take her back with all her gifts etc. Will be lovely to have her here, relax, go for walks, have amazing conversations.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Rested.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I not put pressure on myself, or others, over the next few days to ensure we all have a relaxing time?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Chill out, kick back and enjoy.
