Today’s meditation was twenty-two minutes long, and was a yoga nidra practice from the FitBit app… and it was just a bit too long in my opinion. I stuck it out through the entire practice, but I think they could have shaved off about five minutes and it would have been perfect. Granted, it was a free session, so I probably don’t have that much room to bitch.

Today’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles combined with the affirmation “This feeling will pass. You’re not stuck here forever.”

The combination of these two cards is an encouragement not to let low moments and dark feelings cause you to retreat and shut down. Instead, just keep your head down and keep working.

You don’t have to push for more than you’re able to give, but don’t let yourself fall into stagnancy and lose the hard one skills that you’ve developed over time.

These low feelings?  They’ll pass.  And, by not allowing yourself to fall into stagnancy, you’ll already have the ball rolling on getting back up to your norm once more, instead of having to start from scratch and break free of the paralysis lack of movement can cause.

#DiscordTarotholicsJan2024 Challenge Prompt
Question for January 20th : What are you clinging to that can be let go of without repercussions?

Reading Summary: It’s time to ease up on your drive to please others (Six of Wands), and instead redirect your focus (Death) to what makes you feel comfortable and at home (Four of Wands).

Take Away: Last year was all about pleasing others and taking care of others, instead of yourself. You did a lot for a lot of people and very little for yourself.

It can feel scary to stop, as if by stopping you might jinx things and end up falling back into the same situation again. That’s your fear of change talking, though… not reality.

It’s time to stop focusing so much on what they want and need, and more upon what is right for you, and what makes you happy and comfortable in your own skin and in your life.

I spent time today reorganizing some drawers that house some of my jewelry supplies. It’s become such a struggle and hassle to get into them, that I’ve started trying to avoid it entirely (to the point some stuff has gone out of stock because I don’t want to dig the supplies out and make them).  With a new organizational system in place, everything is much more accessible and I’m now not feeling that whole reluctance that I was prior.
