The @GlitterbyInk #FebYOUary26 Moments & Memories Challenge
Prompt for February 6th : Desire
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Seven of Cups, which is traditionally a representation of themes having to do with having a plethora of options to choose from, all of opportunity’s doors being open upon one’s path, and at times being overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices available in the moment.

What options and opportunities are you missing by focusing so hard on one thing and one thing only?

It’s so easy, at times, to get hyper focused on one particular thing that we want to the point that we end up with blinders on to the rest of the world and any other options or opportunities that are out there for us. And, sometimes these other options and opportunities are much better for us in the long run than the one we’re hyper-focused on.

Today’s message is a reminder that the things that we desire are not always the best things for us, and that sometimes we get so hyper-focused on these desires that we forget to look at what else is out there.

An example of this would be someone that is stuck in an abusive relationship. They’re so focused on making things work with this abusive person and fixing this person or fixing the relationship, putting their all into this and hyper-focusing on that direction, that they never realize that there are other people out there they would be much happier with (not to mention safer). Perhaps there’s even someone out there that’s already interested in them, but is keeping their distance specifically because of that hyper-focus and where it’s directed.

The Seven of Cups combined with the “desire” prompt reminds us not to get so focused on what we want that we lose sight of the possibility of what might be out there that could be much better for us in the end.

@ambitiouslyalexa’s February Journal Prompts
Prompt for February 6th

What drains me emotionally

Four of Pentacles, Daisy, The Tower Rx – Your upbringing has taught you that it’s important to always be prepared, and has spurred you to take that to extremes. Due to this, hoarding and other miserly efforts tend to be pretty intense in an effort to build stability in your life so great that it cannot be toppled by even the most destructive levels of chaos.

This constant effort towards that greater sense of stability is draining for you, especially because it means you are constantly stuck in a “what if” mentality.

How to create better boundaries and/or balance in this area

Seven of Cups Rx, Snowdrop, Four of Cups – Make efforts to trust that no matter which direction things go, and whether or not you’re in control of the situation, you will always survive and thrive. Remind yourself that the hardships and trials you have faced thus far have been significant, and yet you have always managed to not just survive them, but come out kicking on the other side of them again and again.

You may need to take a step back and regroup, pause, and reflect… and possibly even accept some help that you really don’t want to accept. But in the end? You will come back to full strength once more. Just as you have before.

Other elements included in this reading:

#DiscordTarotholicsFeb2026 Challenge
Prompt for February 5th : A physical action you can take to help you relax and unwind

Reading Summary – Get out into (Knight of Pentacles) the world (The World), a little at a time (Knight of Pentacles and the dripping faucet in The Hermit).

Even if alone time (The Hermit) isn’t possible or safe right now, getting out into the world (The World) and specifically out into nature (background of the Knight of Pentacles), can help you find the grounding you need (staring at the drop in The Hermit card is reminiscent of meditating by watching water dripped down the side of the shower wall), allowing you to unwind and relax a bit.

Those who you would take with you out on these excursions want you to enjoy things (cat in the basket with a comfy blanket in the Knight of Pentacles), and they will give you the space you need when you need it (the presence of The Hermit card combined with thecardboard box in The World card).

Take Away – Stop allowing your distaste for doing things with others keep you from getting out in nature and taking advantage of that healing and grounding connection you have with the earth and the things that grow from it. Yes, it’s important to take others with you on these visits out into the world, but they know when and how to step back to give you the space you need when you need it, and don’t mind doing so. So stop avoiding these activities and get your ass outside more.

Other elements included in this reading:
Foraged Oak Branch with Moss and Lichen for Perseverance
Foraged Lodgepole Pine for Resilience, Growth, and Renewal
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

I ordered myself a back-up set of Shokz Open Run Pros, because I’ve noticed that the battery seems to be draining on my current pair a bit faster than usual of late.
