Week 12: Bubble World
The government is allowing me to form my own bubble and choose my bubble partner.
They toyed with giving me an air corridor but have plumped for a more down to earth bit of froth. I didn’t need any thought bubbles to think through this one – it was going to be Mary. To cement this Lockdown-induced formality – we had a bubble party – with, of course just the two of us – sparkling wine and a meal at my house to seal this new relationship status. So -what does this mean? We can travel in the same car, eat in each other’s houses and no need to keep to a stringent 2 metre distance. Otherwise – our pre-bubble conversations will not be upgraded by these new bubble-rights and our country walks will not be cushioned by soft bubbles. I bought a bubble kit to show my commitment to this bubble relationship and the photos you see are the results. We were laughing so much that the twin children 2 doors down became curious and peered over the fence. They have now inherited the kit with a fresh batch of bubble solution (made with fairy liquid, glycerine and water). Meanwhile - my commitment to diet and exercise has been as weak and fleeting as my bubbles. I appear to be all talk and no action. |
I follow a lady called Susan Neibergall on Instagram who seemed to have made a video that blew away all my avoidance bubbles:
Then - as if this wasn’t enough my trainer Kassim Esene organised a zoom talk by Coach Dan Smith on “Mindset – how to achieve better results”. The talk included deciding what goals to focus on and what are achievable. So – if you have a stressful job and no time – deciding to start a new gym regime will not work. Pick goals that will work for your current priorities and don’t waste energy on thwarted goals. More re-focusing that seem to be targeted exactly where I need it. The Universe seems to be telling me to get focused again on fitness goals and weight loss. Time to start again….. |
