Today’s meditation was eleven minutes long, and was the “human being, not human doing” meditation from the FitBit app.

Today’s draw is the Nine of Wands combined with the affirmation “Self-care, the crap out of life and you’ll get through okay.”

Sometimes protecting what’s important to you involves self-care instead of self-sacrifice.  You’re used to the latter as being how you show that you care and how you deal with responsibility… but you are important too.  That means self care is just as important.

Don’t work yourself so hard that you have nothing left to to yourself or to others. You can take care of yourself -and- protect those things that are important to you. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

@Lionharts #TheJanuaryTarot 2024 January Initiation Prompt
Questions for January 29th thru 31st

Select a Major Arcana card that embodies something you are determined to achieve this year.

The Lovers – I want to work on making better choices for myself and what’s right for me (marseille interpretation), as well as focus more on my relationship and put more time and energy into my connection with my partner (rws interpretation).

How can I turn this visualization into a daily affirmation to reinforce my determination?

King of Wands atop The Hierophant – Claim what belongs to you as part of your due for having weathered the tests of time.

In what ways can I intentionally work towards aligning my actions with the symbolism of the chosen Majors card to guide my journey toward my determined goal for the year?

Queen of Swords (with eyes closed) – Monitor your self talk carefully, and make sure you are being encouraging instead of cruel or critical.

How can I synthesize the insights gained from this month’s Tarot Challenge, aligning them with my aspirations, to set a powerful and intentional course for the months ahead?

Ten of Wands Rx – A large portion of this month’s readings have been a remainder not to overwhelm yourself with too much at once, whether that’s piling on too much to do or filling your plate with too many responsibilities to keep track of.

I didn’t do a single chore today while up north.  Instead I just sorted through mail and relaxed.
