Seven of Cups combined with the affirmation “Being overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re weak or incapable. We just need a long while to recharge sometimes.”
You may insist in your heart of hearts that you do not need rest and recuperation, but the truth of the matter is that it is a universal fact for all humans. The more you ignore it, the worse it will get, until the need for rest is so intense and has grown so great that those short rests you could have taken will no longer cut it, and a longer rest is needed.
This is the consequence of ignoring your needs and choosing to see those needs as an obstacle instead of an intrinsic part of being human. Instead, take care to rest when you need to and give yourself the time you need to recover from life’s trials. These needs aren’t really up to you, and ignoring them will just make things worse.

Today’s card is the Two of Pentacles combined with the affirmation ” You aren’t ‘too much’ of anything. You are just right as you are.”
I do not usually struggle with the feeling of being “too much” for others. In fact, I swing the other way entirely and struggle with feelings of inadequacy and being not enough. Either way, though, the “You are just right as you are” part of the affirmation hits home, and combined with the Two of Pentacles is a reminder that you can only juggle so much in life before things fall out of balance.
You don’t have to constantly strive to be more and do more. People will love you just as you are, without all that “extra” that you are always pushing so hard for. Don’t let those feelings of inadequacy, (that are actually all in your head, mind you) upset your balance.

Today’s card is the Seven of Pentacles combined with the affirmation “There’s no room for any self-hate today; you are too beautiful and too precious.”
Today’s cards are a reminder that learning to not listen to your negative inner narrative is a type of growth, and like most growth that really matters? It’s going to take time. You’ve had decades to learn how to be cruel to yourself, and it’s going to take decades to learn how to be kind to yourself. Just keep going, every day, one step at a time, one millimeter at a time. You’ll get there if you keep working at it instead of giving in to those negative thoughts every time they crop up.
