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

Today’s draw is the King of Wands, which is traditionally a representation of a projective alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s passions, drive, determination, principles, values, and willpower. The King of Wands often indicates themes that have to do with leadership figures or authority figures with the ability to rally others to their causes and draw them in to their own values, principles, and passions.

The King of Wands is then combined with an affirmation from the Pass Around the Smiles Positive Guidance Cards, which says, “You’re protected, it’s go time. You’re currently being protected. The universe has your best interest at heart. Move forward fearlessly. Have courage.”

All those things that you’ve wanted and pushed so hard to accomplish and experience… all of these experiences you’ve had and the lessons you’ve learned from them are now a part of you. A part of you that you can bring up and use whenever you need it.

Now is the time to experiment and try new things, then add these new things to the old things you’ve already learned and experienced. This is how you continue to grow and develop past your current successes and into the new ones yet to be explored.

The message in today’s King of Wands and affirmation card is a reminder that growth may be difficult and scary, but it’s not impossible. You just have to put that significant determination to the task, regardless of your fears of fucking it up. Be brave and be curious. Keep going. There’s still more yet to experience and explore.

@recoverytrauma_’s Know Myself Questions for Self-Discovery
What Do I Truly Want? Prompts

What kind of life do I want to create?

Discernment, Love and Compassion, Overachiever – A life of acceptance of self. A life where instead of beating yourself up for your perceived failings and inability to achieve lofty goals that you set up from the beginning to be out of your reach, you love yourself as you are and offer acceptance and compassion instead of self-flagellation.

What does peace look like for me?

Freedom, Willingness to Learn, Trust – Less control and more trust that things are going to turn out okay whether you have control of the situation or not.

Peace, at this time, is not having to be the one to fix everything, but instead trusting that everything’s going to be okay regardless of whether you step in to interfere or not.

What do I want more of in my life?

Hiking, Remaining Lighthearted, Sex – More play time outside, and more play time with your partner. In both of these cases, you desire the ability to let go and just have fun without allowing life’s stressors to get in the way of your enjoyment.

This is why “the drown” holds such a lure for you, because for a few blissful moments you can trust your partner to hold every shred of control and you are able to let go of everything except the experience you’re having in that moment.

What have I always dreamed of doing but haven’t started yet?

Listening, Dismantling False Belief Systems, Balance – The shadow work necessary to root out your deepest wounds from your past and create the balance needed to heal them. You’ve skirted around the edges of this practice, but there’s so much there to deal with that it quickly becomes too overwhelming.

What kind of people do I want around me?

Organizing, Claiming Full Responsibility, Rejection – People who are responsible enough to own their mistakes instead of running away from them or trying to pass them off onto others.

@lightningwildflower‘s March Reflection to Action Challenge
New Moon in Pisces Prompt for March 19th :What intuitive message deserves my attention?

Reading Summary: Work with others who care about you and have earned your trust (Two of Cups and Eight of Pentacles) to combat the harsh judgments your inner critic keeps doling out (Judgement and Queen of Swords).

Take Away: Your loved ones are the counterbalance to your negative thoughts, even if it means sharing with them the things your inner narratives are saying.

Yes, it can be embarrassing, awkward, and even frightening to share these thoughts with others. You’ve seen in the past the surprise (and horror) on the faces of those you love when you share some of the things going on in your head.

That doesn’t mean you should be keeping these things to yourself. It means they need more practice in supporting you in this manner. It’s a skill. The more you share with them, the more skilled they will become in providing the support you need.
