Contemplative

I’m currently feeling
Contemplative.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Thinking about the day ahead and the things I need to get done. Theres a massive pile of ironing from the last two weeks. Not one of my favourite things to do but I usually watch a few episodes of something of Netflix to distract me. C is out ringing this afternoon and I’ll need to do my food prep whilst he’s out. Then we have a quarter peal attempt as a practice for a striking competition next month. Don’t think I’ll have time to fit in a JWW today. I managed two out of four rounds of yesterdays but was coughing too much to catch my breath properly. I did manage a 60s plank at the end though. Have DOMS in my hips this morning and I think that’s just from the warm up!

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?
Haven’t had any forms through for signing yet. Did see something from my bank about some higher rate interest accounts that might be worth looking into.

My tasks for the day is…
Ringing. Ironing. Food prep. More ringing. Not much time for anything else.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
It’ll be too tight to squeeze in JWW this afternoon and too late by the time we get home from ringing this evening. A bit annoying as I was just starting to get back into it.

What thought will I practice instead?
If ringing clocks as “sport” on my fitbit, I’ll count that as todays exercise instead. As well as walking into town and back twice today.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Burgundy fake leather trousers, pink tshirt, blue alpine cardigan. Simple and comfortable for ringing in. Gibraltar bracelet, birthstones necklace and stud diamond earrings. Basic.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
If I can get anywhere near to clearing the massive ironing pile, I’ll be excited.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Supporting others. Learners this morning, and making sure I don’t go wrong for C this evening.

My progress and my blessings
Cold coming out in more sneezing now and I’m feeling much brighter as a result. More motivated to move.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Doing chores!

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How can I add some fun into my day to brighten up having to do quite laborious chores?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
Watch a bit of Netflix and just keep going. The sooner you get rid of the pile of ironing, the clearer the space will be.
