Today’s draw is The Rusted Cross and The Man combined with the affirmation “Be kind to yourself today.”

The message in today’s cards is a reminder not to let your misguided need to be on top of everything and in control prevent you from giving yourself the kindnesses you need.

It isn’t any better of a job if there’s suffering involved than if there isn’t.  You don’t have to bleed for a project to finish well, and you don’t have to suffer for your responsibilities to be cared for.  That mentality might be what you were raised with, but neglecting yourself doesn’t pay off in the end… it just makes everything that much harder.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2023 Challenge Prompt
Questions for August 13th and 16th

What can I do to help my inner adolescent feel less neglected?

Justice and Sensitivity – Remember that there’s a difference between justice and fairness. Be sensitive to what you are feeling instead of shoving it aside when faced with moments where fairness needs to take the fore.  Consciously making the choice to prioritize that need for fairness can help your inner adolescent feel less neglected.

What can I do to help my inner adolescent feel more heard and understood?

Wisdom and Giving Up – Sometimes you just have to let go of logic and go with your gut instead. Like your intuition and your spirit guides, your inner adolescent tries to communicate to you through the same methods of physical sensation.  You haven’t sussed out the nuances of how to tell the difference yet, but you will if you give yourself the time to listen and freedom to hear those inner tugs instead of leaning into logic at every turn.
