Today’s draw is the King of Swords combined with the affirmation “I am the buzz within the bees. I am everything I need to be without trying.”

What if you didn’t push so hard and plot so strenuously?  What if you let things happen at their own pace instead of planning out each and every step along the way and steering every inch of progress forward?

How would it feel to feel like you’re enough? To feel like you didn’t have to brow beat and abuse yourself into some “better” more “worthy” version of who you are today?

Today’s cards pose these questions, and ask you to take some time to really think them over.  They encourage you to accept yourself as you are rather than as you could be or “should” be with a few more strategic tweaks.  Self acceptance is hard, but there’s no reason it can’t be done today, right now, instead of tomorrow or next week.

Prompts for February 10 :

In what moments in life do you find the most joy?

The World Rx atop Eight of Cups – Moments in life when you’re actually able to let go of something instead of riding it out til it’s end are some of your most joyous moments.

The thing is, sometimes your hope and faith in humanity makes you stick around in situations long after you know it’s time to throw in the towel. You’ve found that in those occasions you can actually say “fuck it” and let go, you’re happier and often appreciate that ending better than the “riding it out” approach.

How can you more openly embrace joy in your life?

Knight of Wands Rx – Don’t always charge in at the first sign of an interesting opportunity opening up for you. Hang back. Instead, spend your irresponsible moments in better ways that don’t require you to make more “room on your plate”.  Even the funnest of projects becomes nothing more than more responsibility when you dive in too quickly and end up having to juggle your time just to fit it into your schedule.
