Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and one of the #DailyCalm sessions from the Calm app.  The subject of the session had to do with getting stuck in the past and how, when we allow ourselves to get stuck in the past, whether that be in good memories or bad ones.

It discussed how when we do this, we then set ourselves up to repeat old patterns… as opposed to experiencing new things should we cast our gaze to the present instead.

Today’s draw is the Judgment card combined with the affirmation “You don’t need to do everything right in order to be worthy of your relationships.”

These cards are a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect, and you don’t have to pick on yourself to make yourself be perfect either.  They are about reminding yourself of the person you want to become, rather than picking apart every little thing you are doing in the present.

This is one of those things that I personally struggle a great deal with.  Learning how to say something is “good enough” rather than constantly trying to “one up” my best is something I’ve been working on for a few years now. To tell me that I am “doing my best” or to “do your best” is a death trap, as my best is far -more- than is often necessary.  Giving something my all means that I’m going to work at it and pick at it until it is as close to perfection as humanly possible to achieve… which is not healthy.

Learning to embrace “good enough” is a far better goal.

How can you celebrate the returning of the light?

The Magician and Prepare – Things are going to pick back up and get better, and spring is on its way. There’s a lot you can do to prepare now for the results you want to achieve in the future. Little things that you can do that involve applying your skills to, in order to guide things in the direction of the end goal you seek.

What is awakening?

Wheel of Fortune and Nourish – You are beginning to be more consistent with giving encouragement to nourish yourself and care for yourself no matter if things are up or down. Struggles should not supersede self-care, and you have an opportunity in this time of awakening to continue to improve in this area.

I took my theracane back from Ms B’s house.  I had loaned it to her during her shoulder’s recovery, but she hasn’t used it in a while and I need it back to help with my lats and thoracis muscles.
