Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.
Today’s draw is The Hanged Man (Suspension), which is traditionally a representation of taking a pause, considering alternate perspectives, relaxing into difficult situations, surrender, or letting go.
The Suspension card has then been combined with a card from the Messages From the Universe Oracle, which says, “If you are feeling stuck in any area of your life, ask yourself – What is stopping me from leaving? Yes, leaving is scary, but sometimes it is the right step to take. Be brave.”
Yes, it’s true. Sometimes leaving is the best option. Just take care to pause a moment first to make sure you aren’t missing some important factor.
Consider all the perspectives on the situation before you act. In doing so, you ensure that you aren’t overreacting or jumping the gun.
The message in today’s Hanged Man (Suspension) card and affirmation is that if a situation needs leaving behind… DO it. Just make sure it’s really what you want beforehand by examining all the options and angles first.

@note.project August Journal Prompts
Prompt for August 26th through 28th
Something I want to bring with me into fall
Snow White – A better attitude. Over the last couple of months, your inner negative self talk has gotten out of hand to the point that you’ve been more negative even in your interactions with others.
As fall comes into focus, you want to discard this cloying negativity and foster a better, friendlier, kinder, and more positive attitude. Less the “bitch” and more kindness and care.
A routine or rhythm I want to create for the next season
Puss in Boots – More fun and more humor in the day-to-day, which will hopefully bleed into more enthusiasm for taking on life’s every day challenges.
It’s hard to be enthusiastic for adventure when you’re feeling heavy and down. You want to create a rhythm for yourself that allows you more appreciation for the good stuff, more fun in the moment, and more enthusiasm for life as a result.
Something I’m looking forward to experiencing in the months ahead
The Snow Queen – You are looking forward to a strengthening of the connections between yourself and those around you, and the weeding out of those that don’t have your best interests at heart. As people begin to show their true colors in the next few months, you’ll find it easier to spot those that need to go, and identify those you want to keep close.

#DiscordTarotholicsAug2026 Challenge
Prompts for August 24th through 26th
As an adult, where do I take myself too seriously?
Keeper of Challenges – Remember that feeling twinges of paranoia doesn’t necessarily mean someone is out to get you. Being able to see “three steps ahead” only works if your paranoia doesn’t get in the way and have you chasing shadows.
How can I ease up in this area where I take myself too seriously?
Child of Spells – Focus more on fun and that ever-curious inclination within you, and less on the drudgery of life and responsibilities. Try to see life as more of an adventure and less of a chore. With this more open attitude, even when you have plans in place, you’re more likely to be more congenially adaptable when needed.
Philosophical Question : Am I more of a dreamer or a believer?
Seven of Visions – Both. This is why you often pause to waffle on decisions. You can imagine the potential in each and every choice before you, and that can often create inner conflicts between your dreamer side and the more practical one.
Other elements included in this reading:
Wood burned Squirrel Medallion for Connecting with Curiosity
Honey Calcite for Optimism and Motivational Boost
Flower Agate for Opening the Mind to New Possibilities
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy

I remembered to bring my headphones with me today so that I could listen to music instead of political talk and ignore other irritants.
Today’s meditation was ten minutes long and focused on making the best out of difficult situations. It was a good theme for Christmas day, as it mentioned gatherings where you can’t always get along with everyone, and times when people are being difficult, and how it’s better to step beyond these experiences and focus on the positive, rather than allowing these negative influences to drag you down and make you miserable.
Today’s draw is the Hierophant, which is traditionally a representation of wisdom, institutions, the status quo, and tradition. It is also a card that represents the dynamics between teacher and student…. and is my birth card.
Today’s draw is a double without a jumper, which means both cards came out of the deck together. The cards in today’s draw are The Magician and the Five of Swords.
