Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and a #DailyCalm session with the Calm app.

The topic of today’s meditation was about how so many of us value our work, but not our need for rest.  Both are equally important, but it’s the work that we normally stress in our lives and prioritize.

The session was a reminder that rest is just as important, and that they go hand in hand.  One without the other is unhealthy, no matter which way you swing it.  It encourages balance, and a mindset of compassion and forgiveness instead of judgement for those times when rest is needed.

Affirmation Prompt for April 15th: I Balance…

Five of Swords – I balance dominance and submission.

In your relationship, as well as in your life, there is a dance that happens. A dance between dominance and submission. There are times when you feel a sense of strength and purpose, when you step into a challenge with empowerment and confidence.

And there are times in life and in your relationship where you feel small and vulnerable, in need of sheltering and care, and unable to deal with the challenges that lie before you.

Life is a balancing of these two aspects, where one is no greater or of more value than the other. It is the natural ebb and flow of your confidence and strength, and allows you to experience  more in life as a result.  Remember not to try to put too much weight on one over the other, and let them come and go as needed.

Question for April 15th: What message of reassurance do I need to hear right now?

Reading Summary: Feelings of scarcity (Five of Pentacles) can drag you down and create difficulties in staying afloat emotionally (Nine of Cups Rx). But, by leaning into tried and true methods you have already established (The Hierophant) for dealing with these issues, you can help in pulling yourself back up.

Take Away: Feeling like a failure sucks.  It just does.

The thing is, though, you have established tools to help you with your emotional lows, and they will work to help you with feelings of scarcity as well if you use them in that direction.

These tools that help you in staying emotionally stable are there for you not just when you’re struggling with depression, but in any instance where a more positive outlook and a bit of a lift are needed.

This is a catch-up post, and I don’t remember what my self-kindness was for the day.
