Prompt for August 29th : A Lucky Find | #FMS_LUCKYFIND25

Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Two of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of juggling responsibilities, work/life balance, and prioritization.

Your balance is not their balance, and their balance isn’t yours.

This falls back on that we can’t know what trials and tribulations others are going through. Their lives are different than ours, their experiences, lessons, and challenges are not ours. And, that’s all before taking into consideration that they are a completely different person than us with different emotions and reactions. (Not to mention they might be faking that they have things together far more than they really do.)

You can’t find your own balance when your eye isn’t even on the ball.  If you’re too busy looking at how others are doing, you aren’t minding your own closely enough. Comparing your “balancing act” to another’s just doesn’t work, and when you try, you lose sight of your own balance and risk causing an even greater imbalance to occur.

Today’s card is a reminder to tend to your own balance in life, and stop comparing yourself and your abilities to everyone else’s. You’ll discover that balance is far easier to find and sustain if you focus on yourself and what you’re doing.

Ten of Wands – Responsibility Prompts for August 29th thru 31st

What weight can I release to focus my energy on what truly matters for my current journey?

Four of Wands and Salt – Remember that as long as your mortgage is being paid, everything else is going to work itself out. Make sure that you are prioritizing what is of greatest importance and will provide you the stability you need to confront each challenge that’s coming your way.

Where am I carrying more than I need to in my pursuit of growth?

Two of Wands and Cailleach – Your action plan is too convoluted and needs to be pared down. Consider something like collapsible lists so that you don’t have to see all the minute details when what you really need is a quick glance for reassurance. This way, you can make sure you don’t make it so complicated that it becomes its own stress instead of a stress reliever.

How can I move forward with clarity, purpose, and renewed strength?

King of Coins and Mourning – Being a leader and fostering stability for yourself and others requires adaptability. Adaptability requires letting things go that are aren’t serving you, so that you can bend instead of break when needed. Clinging onto the outdated and no longer useful causes these things to just get in your way so that you trip over them later.
