July 1

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and was based on the affirmation in the attached image. I’m not sure I’m feeling particularly favorable towards this particular affirmation. This is specifically because of the “considering what you’ve been up against part”. Why can’t I just be doing great?

The Chariot – Sometimes when you take things too fast, you end up losing control… just like the charioteer appears to be losing control of their horses. Remember that in some situations, to keep control in hand and preserve precision, you have to take things slow and steady instead.

Today’s meditation was supposed to be 10 minutes long, but I might’ve sorta skipped it? I should have just pulled a different card and should retire this one from the deck. I hate this card because it’s a fucking lie. If I do my best? It’s not just enough… it’s fucking perfect. Immaculate. Exact and just right and absolutely flawless. Because when I do my best? I goddamned make it so, and will try again and again until it is so. “Just do your best” for me is essentially telling me to break myself to make it perfect. Not the message they are trying to convey in this card and not at all a healthy message for me, because if my best is only “enough”? Then I can do better. Okay, so that’s my rant for today.

Ten of Cups -Take a breath and be grateful that you’ve made it to the other side of the bridge. Ms B is beginning to come back into herself. You can breathe now. Let your worry go and look forward to positive results and rewards that will bolster you emotionally, instead of the stress and worry of what appeared to be a decline (but was actually medication issues) that has been dragging you down.

July 3

Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was based on the mantra that “I am a work in progress, and that’s okay”. This affirmation fits far easier than yesterdays, as this is something I struggle with from time to time. Especially in the way I’ve been feeling concerning failing Ms B the last few days when her meds were all out of whack. Having discovered the issue, now I know. Its a learning experience, but it didn’t do permanent damage. Everything’s going to be okay.

Knight of Cups – The Capricorn type sea creature always throws me off a bit in the Minchiate decks, and today was no exception. This card is about going after the things that make you happy and lift you up. Proactively seizing the day for those things that you enjoy. The message here is to make sure you’re not letting yourself be dragged down to the point that you forget you need some fun and play in your life as well.
