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.

The card has then been combined with an Elie Wiesel quote from the Gratitude Insight Cards, which says, “For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.”

Take care that you are being mindful to notice and enjoy the good stuff going on around you. That good stuff can be as big as a success or surprise, or it can be as small as someone else’s smile or a pretty flower. When we allow ourselves to see these small joys instead of ignoring them, it can help balance out the influences of the more negative aspects of life that come our way.

The message in today’s Two of Pentacles and affirmation quote is an encouragement to include more of these small joys in your life to help balance out both shitty moments that can’t be avoided is an encouragement to include more of these small joys in your life to help balance out both shitty moments and experiences that can’t be avoided.

Philosophical Questions for June 17th and 24th

Are we ever morally obligated to take action?

“My life has never allowed much opportunity to travel. I dream of…”

No. But that doesn’t mean that doing so, or not doing so, doesn’t create its own situation or have a hand in creating the person you are to become.

By holding back instead of taking action, it can mold you and/or your life in directions that are not the ideal you were hoping for for your future self.

Under what circumstances are we morally obligated to take action?

“I received a gift for 23andMe. I was so surprised to find out…”

When something within us tells us it’s important to act, we should listen. We each have our own inner sense of right and wrong that I refer to as our “moral compass”.

If we feel something is wrong, and we do not want to turn our future into more consequences than dreams, then when our moral compass twinges it’s important for us to act instead of staying disengaged.

Why do people feel the need to distract themselves from reality?

“I want to write plays, but it turns out poetry has…”

Distractions are often how we discover new passions and things we enjoy or are interested in, as well as discovering those things that we don’t like or don’t want to experience or be involved with.

The world would be a less interesting and far more uninspiring place without the distractions that allow us to see the potential for something different and something more.

The @lightningwildflower June Inner Journey Challenge
Mercury Retrograde, Full Moon in Capricorn Prompt for June 29th : What message from the past is resurfacing?

Reading Summary: If you refuse to follow your heart (The Lovers), you will fail both in your efforts towards creating stability for yourself and others (Ten of Pentacles Rx) , and will instead continue to repeat the past (Six of Cups).

Take Away: It may seem counterintuitive, especially considering your upbringing and past achievements, but if you really want to create stability for yourself and those around you, it will require something else besides just hard work and determination.

Instead, in order to find that stability and sustain it, it needs to be grown from a place of love and authenticity instead of from just doing what you need to do to get things done.

It’s in changing your bad habits and unhealthy patterns, and reaching for something better for yourself, that you can then create the kind of balance and stability you really want to achieve.

Prompts for June 27th through 30th

This is the kind of silence I want to experience

Spider – You wish to be able to sit in the splendor of your creative efforts and be happy with their completion.

Although the accolades from others are nice, and appreciated, they are not needed when it comes to your creativity and those things you create. Instead, you desire to enjoy and appreciate these creations on your own and feel a form of self satisfaction from the experience.

How can I lighten my sense of responsibility?

Snake – Stop taking the responsibility on your shoulders for things that are not yours to deal with or claim.

Like the snake Nidhogg and Yggdrasil’s tree roots depicted in this card, these responsibilities that are not yours to deal with can end up depleting the resources that you need to be healthy and happy.

What intention do I want to sow?

Crab – You want to work on connecting more with your inner self, and in doing so better understand your emotions as well as your vulnerabilities.

How do I celebrate the end of this month?

Carp atop Dove – Allow yourself to trust in serendipity. Not everything has to be planned out peace by peace with every ending guaranteed. Sometimes trust in the universe is the only answer, and the only path to happiness and success.
