The @GlitterbyInk #MarchMoments26 Challenge
The Edge of Wonder Prompt for March 6th : Perspective
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 Cups, which is traditionally a representation of friendships, revelry, celebration, and collaboration between those that are linked or alike not just in mind but also in heart.

Consider… what do they see and feel when you turn down their invitations again and again? Extroverts especially might struggle to interpret the meaning of this. They might think you’re not interested in their friendships or efforts. In fact, you know this for truth. As an introvert, you often can’t keep up with the needs of extroverts. That’s fine, but what that means is that they end up thinking you aren’t interested in their friendship. That’s why they disappear from your life after a while.

By the same turn? By the time you notice they’re gone? They’re -long- gone. Not because you don’t care. It still hurts. Instead, it’s just that your need for interaction is far less than theirs. This makes you incompatible, not less caring nor “left behind”.

Friendships are difficult. Difficult to develop, and difficult to keep. This is true when compatibility is high, and much more true when trying to hold on to friendships with those that you are not compatible with.

The message in today’s Three of Cups and “Perspective” prompt is a reminder that sometimes we assume things don’t work out because of something -we- have done. Maybe instead of playing the blame game, though, we need to look at it more as trial and error. A question of compatibility rather than a question of blame.

@recoverytrauma_’s Know Myself Questions for Self-Discovery
Who Am I? Prompts

What makes me feel most like me?

Queen of Pentacles – When you are feeling in control of your future and inspired from a place of stability. Instability makes you retreat and causes you a good deal of distress and inner struggle. A sense of stability, on the other hand, allows you to open up and become approachable.

What do I love about the way I think or feel?

Knight of Pentacles – You love that you choose to prioritize integrity, even above success or speed. You love that these priorities are long learned, and you’ve discovered over time what works best for you… applying that knowledge into weighing what matters and what doesn’t.

What do I believe I was put here to do?

Four of Cups – You believe that you were put here to offer help and support… but only to those who are open to it. You accept that it’s not your responsibility to help those that are not interested in being helped, and turn your focus to those who are.

When do I feel the most confident or powerful?

Nine of Wands Rx – When things are feeling safe and secure. It’s hard to feel at your most confident and powerful when you’re in the process of bracing for impact or fearing the worst is yet to come.

What’s something about me most people don’t know but should?

Ace of Pentacles – You’re not as stuck in your ways as you appear, you just need sufficiently inspirational motivators to spark your interest in change.

@lightningwildflower‘s March Reflection to Action Challenge
Venus enters Aries Prompt for March : What am I ready to pursue with passion?

Reading Summary: An empowering (Strength) answer (Ace of Wands) to your current uncertainties (The Moon).

Take Away: You’ve lain the groundwork here already, and are ready to pursue the answers you need to turn things around. There’s a lot of uncertainty and worry involved, but you need to acknowledge that this uncertainty is not based on reality, but rather upon your fear of being powerless.

Instead of giving into those fears, step forward with strength and seek out the answers you need. You were able to step out of the shadows and begin the journey, and that was half the battle right there. Now it’s time to keep going.

I took the day off to give myself a chance to recover from the stomach problems I was having yesterday.
