The @GlitterbyInk #NovemberWhispers25 Liminal Dreamland Challenge
Shape-Shifter Prompt for November 14 : Morph
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Three of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of depression, grief, and disappointments. This theme often seems strange to people, being that it is seated in the Swords suit (which is often all about intellect and the mind), but it is important to remember that how we react emotionally is often rooted in how we think and what expectations we create for ourselves before everything falls apart.

People often see practices towards positivity as an either/or situation. Either you deal with the bad stuff and be weighed down with negativity when disappointment happens, or you ignore the bad stuff and pretend it doesn’t happen and try your best to always be positive.

In truth, a healthy positivity practice is neither of these things. It involves meshing one’s disappointment and disenchantment with a bit of hope and optimism, so that they balance each other out.

I didn’t discover or understand this concept until I had started doing this daily card practice each day. Over time, my perspective morphed and changed to realize that doing a positivity practice doesn’t negate the bad, nor does it allow you to ignore the bad, it just allows you to deal with (and survive) the bad in healthier ways.

Today’s card combined with the “morph” prompt is a reminder that first impressions are not always correct, and first assumptions are often mistaken. If you’re confronted with an opportunity to try and better your life in some way, but it looks “lame” or otherwise at odds with what you’re currently doing… don’t write it off out of hand. Sometimes it’s worth giving it a try, and your opinion may change over time.

Wheel of Fortune Spread

What cycle are you moving through?

The King’s Gifts – You are seeking to find a balance between doing things your own way, and toeing the line with the will of the authority that you can’t avoid. This is difficult for you not just because of your authority issues (which are significant), but because you have a tendency to live your life doing things your own way, lead by your moral compass far more than by the rules and regulations of others.

What is shifting beyond your control?

The King’s Throne and The Dancing Ninnies – There’s a lot going on now that you need to stand back from and not take part in. Lots of rumors and lots of “let’s try this or that”. Instead of participating, sit back and watch and see what works and what doesn’t. You don’t have to be part of the trial and error. Let other people do the fumbling for you.

How can you align with the turning of the wheel?

Grandpa’s Courtship – Be open to the unexpected. Look for the benefits of what may come. Even if the situation at hand is possibly not exactly what you’re looking for, there’s a boon in there to not take for granted if you’re willing to step past your initial negative reaction and look deeper.

Where can you find stability within change?

The Bonfire – Have a little fun wherever you can find it. There’s lots to celebrate, if you’re willing to look for and appreciate the small wins.  Not everything has to be about the finish line, nor about the big picture.

Topic : The Sun – Exploring past happiness and successes. (The horse and rider are heading off to the left/into the past.)

Tomorrow – Druid of Stones atop Druid of Cups – Lean into the connection you have between yourself and your partner. Where has he created stability for you in the past? In relation to these experiences, how can he assist you in doing the same in the present?

I didn’t take the extra hours offered today. My stomach has been upset, so I chose to go home instead.
