Today’s meditation was a ten minute #DailyCalm session in the @Calm app.

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

Today’s draw is the Page of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive “omega” energy in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, labors, home life, and manifestations. This often translates into themes that have to do with work apprenticeships and learning a new ability or skill.

The Page of Pentacles card has then been combined with a card from the Pass Around the Smile Positive Guidance Cards For Kids, which says, “Love: Name the special people you love.”

Building relationships takes time. Whether it’s friendships or romantic relationships, family bonds, or any other type of relationship between people. It takes time to develop trust. It takes time to figure out if you connect on merely a surface level, or something deeper.

These things take time because it takes us time to lose our preconceived notions of who these people are, and actually explore and discover who they truly are. This type of thing isn’t something that you just know right off the bat, no matter how much you think you can or how much your emotions try to tell you that you do.

The message in today’s Page of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that flash-in-the-pan friendships and romances can be fun, but they can’t stand the test of time if both parties aren’t willing to put in the work to actually learn about and understand the other person involved.

Today’s draw is the Knight of Pentacles, which is traditionally a representation of an active, projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s finances, resources, health, home, labors, and manifestations. This often translates into a slow moving but determinedly forward moving energy, personality, or person that has their eye on the prize regardless of the slow and steady speed they may be moving at.

The card has then been combined with the Curious & Still card from from The Az Oracle, which says, “When you are curious and still you will see so much more of the story, in fact… you may even see your ability to change it, to re-write a more fun and playful script! And if you can’t, for any reason, or don’t feel that you can… then perhaps you can just re-write your *response* to the movie of life, and decide how you can alter *that* to how you want to feel. When your eyes are wide, and your heart is wide too, absolutely anything is possible.”.

Not everything has to be some big production that has to be completed right now. Sometimes the biggest difference we can make resides within the small things that are nudged along at a snail’s pace. Just as a kind word, or a smile, can turn around another person’s day from one of the worst in their lives to something far more able to be handled.

The message in today’s Knight of Pentacles and affirmation card is a reminder that grand gestures are not the only way to make changes in one’s life. Often, it’s the small things that matter most.

May 23 – Mental Health Card of the Day

Today’s meditation was a seven minute #DailyTrip session from the @Calm app.

Today’s draw is The Fool card, which is traditionally a representation of innocence, carelessness, carefree enthusiasm, and new beginnings.

The Fool card has then been combined with an affirmation from the LOBILAT Fluffy Advice Oracle, which says, “The best view comes after the hardest climb.”

It’s true that when we work hard for something, the prize tastes sweeter. Our blood, sweat, and tears make a difference in how much we value our accomplishments and successes. That said? There’s also something to be said for enjoying the journey.

Too much of life stuck striving for end goals leaves us feeling as if a good portion of our lives have been wasted, or have flow by. We end up with a deficit of joy and pleasure. A lack of fun and far too much stress take the place of those moments of enjoyment we discard in our ambition.

The message in today’s Fool card and affirmation is a reminder to make sure that no matter how high you aim or how hard you climb, you’re having fun along the way. The view at the top will never be worth it if you don’t enjoy yourself during the journey in getting there.
