Motivated

I’m currently feeling
Motivated.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Quite wide awake this morning. Got 2 specific admin tasks I want to complete and get out of the way today. They’ve been hanging around a while in the “too difficult” pile, but actually they’re not. One is almost complete and just needs circulating for others to do their bit. The other just needs me to sit down and read through it carefully and write a response. Most of its in my head anyway. I listened to a podcast yesterday where they were reflecting on 2023 and come up with 5 things. One of which was to stop putting things off that need to be done. This motivated me to complete a piece of work at the office yesterday that’s been there a while, and got me in the mood to clear these 2 bits of ringing admin today. Start the new year with a clear slate.

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?
Login to my M&G pension account to see what that status is. Also request an NHS Pension forecast.

My tasks for the day is…
Haircut. Admin. Read. Relax. JWW.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
I have set my intension for the day, just hope I stick with it and don’t get distracted by other things.

What thought will I practice instead?
Get it done. One will take 5 minutes, the other maybe 15.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Dark blue jeans, blue low cut v necked tshirt. Gibraltar bracelet. No earnings or necklace just yet as I’m getting my hair cut first. Maybe add some when I get back. Casual, practical, slimming.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Clearing virtual clutter from my inbox will boost motivation to respond and deal with other things.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Getting on with things that have been hanging around too long.

My progress and my blessings
Last night we held our last virtual bellringing session. It’s been struggling a while and most of us weren’t getting anything from it anymore. This time and the previous one we were attempting quarter peals but lost them half was due to someone’s technical issues. It was really frustrating for everyone and if it doesn’t get sorted, will continue to annoy people, so we agreed to stop having the practices. They had been useful in learning new methods and gave several of us more confidence to try new things, so overall been a good run, but time to call it quits.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Working.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How will I stay clear on today’s objectives and ensure the tasks are completed?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
JFDI!
