Fabulous

I’m currently feeling
Fabulous.

My thoughts creating this feeling:
Had an excellent day out yesterday. Enjoyed walking around the DIVA exhibit at the V&A Museum. Unfortunately didn’t get time to look around any of the rest of the museum, but have done parts of it before. Treated myself in the shop and bought the book that goes with the exhibition, two pairs of earrings and a bracelet. We then had a lovely lunch at a restaurant in Knightsbridge. I had to be home early to then so do two ringing teaching assessments, otherwise we could have hung around a bit longer. Great company for the day. Fully embodied elegance and wealth for the day.

My extraordinary goal for the year is…
To be more financially savvy and understand my pensions, savings and investments more to enable me to take early retirement in 2026 and live a luxurious life.

What result will I produce this month?
I do have some birthday and anniversary gifts to buy this month so not going to worry too much about extra savings on top of what already gets put aside.

My tasks for the day is…
Peal attempt at Bishops Stortford. Then find somewhere for lunch before attending the NW district AGM. Not time for a JWW but if the ringing registers on my fitbit, I’ll count that as today’s upper body workout.

What thoughts are holding me back? 
The method in the peal is an easy one which means people will lose concentration. There are two people in it who struggle more these days. One of whom is 80 today. They say they want to slow down peal ringing but always seem to say yes when asked. It does become frustrating for others when they both drift off the line every time these days. And I don’t really want to go to the district meeting but we’re in the same area and have to drop someone else there anyway.

What thought will I practice instead?
What will be will be. I’m not going to be too upset if we lose the peal, so long as it’s not me that goes wrong. I haven’t been to any of the other meetings this year, so it won’t hurt to sit through one.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to my style to embody my future self?
Blue jeans, activewear tshirt and alpine cardigan, which I’ll remove for the peal attempt. No bracelet, One & Eight hoop necklace and earning set. Comfortable for ringing in without overheating.

What can I remove, elevate, upgrade or add to align with my future self’s environment?
Looking at the countryside whilst we drive around to various venues. Pub lunch and ringers tea.

What am I excited to practice and improve?
Patience. Concentration.

My progress and my blessings
Loved yesterday. It embodied everything I want in life. Culture, luxury, good food and good company.

What do I declare myself to be today?
Coughing.

What questions can I ask of myself today?
How will I ensure I concentrate throughout the peal attempt this morning and not be the cause of it collapsing, if it does?

What words of encouragement, insight, wisdom or humour does my future self have for me today?
I’d be quite happy for the peal attempt to fail, to be honest. My cough is annoying and gets worse when I talk too much or get overheated. I also need to be aware of possibility a bit of leakage when I cough too much!
