Today’s card is a repeat of the Knight of Pentacles combined with the affirmation “It’s okay to just do what I can today. It’s enough.”
If, yesterday, you struggled to be understanding about your limitations and the slow speed of your progress? Here is a repeat opportunity to give yourself a break and lower your expectations to manageable levels.
These cards are a reminder that even small steps forward are still steps in the right direction. Don’t worry about how long it’s going to take you to get there, but instead focus on those small steps and celebrate each one as its own accomplishment. The only evil taskmaster is the one in your head, and they need to be put in their place. You can do that by being more generous to yourself and more understanding of whatever pace you need to take on the path to your goals.

Today’s card is the King of Cups combined with the affirmation “I don’t know where I’m headed, but I can figure it out when I get there.”
These cards are a reminder of the joy that comes from “winging it”.
Gideon and I spend a lot of time doing collaborative storytelling (written roleplay). A lot of our characters and stories aren’t with an end in sight. It’s just time spent together enjoying each other’s company over the 2500-ish miles that separate the two of us. It’s about spending time rather than accomplishing any particular goal, and this is the kind of thing today’s cards are about.
These cards ask us to look at where in life are you forcing goals into a situation or activity where just enjoying should be enough? How can we change this into a more “smell the roses” activity instead of something to plow through in order to get to something else down the line?

Today’s card is the Three of Wands combined with the affirmation “I know its hard to cope, but here’s a gentle reminder that things usually go better than you predict.”
The message here is that the negative inner narrative in your head is not reality. Try anyway. Even when it tells you that it won’t work or the world sucks. Just try anyway.
It can be really hard to set out on a project or goal when you feel beaten down by the world. Even harder when the one doing the worst of the abuse is your own mind. It’s important to remember, though, that if you aren’t willing to take chances, there’s no rewards to be had. So take a chance… and just try.
