@FatMumSlim August #FMSPAD Challenge
Prompt for August 31st : A Good Habit | #FMS_GOODHABIT25

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

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.

Although side quests happen, you always return to the primary path, acknowledging it as the true goal worth focusing on.

We all get distracted from time to time; that’s a part of why the “big goals” in life take so long to achieve. Life throws things in our path, and sometimes detours are necessary. Other times? Detours are what make the journey more interesting.

Remember, there are 60-year-olds travelling the world. There are 70-year-olds going to college. There are 80-year-olds earning their diplomas. A goal that really matters to you doesn’t have to be a sprint, but instead can become a lifelong journey, side quests and all.

Today’s message is a reminder that just because it’s taking time to reach your goals doesn’t mean that you’re failing at them. It just means that you’re collecting extra knowledge and experience points along the way. As long as you remember where the goal post are, you’re going to get there eventually. Just keep going.

What light {within me} is ready to rise and brighten my path today?

Eight of Cups and Balance – You can’t always say “fuck it” and walk away, but sometimes it’s necessary. If something in your life is creating a lot of imbalance, now is the time to take a look at that and decide if it’s really worth all that you’re putting into it.

In what area of my life am I guided to embrace curiosity or an open mind?

The Fool and Check In – Are you having any fun? If not, why not? Don’t forget that having some fun as an important part of life, and if you’re not having enough of it, it can make it life feel as if it’s dragging you down and trying to crush your spirit. Make sure you’re checking in on your level of fun in life. If it feels like you’re not having enough? Then you’re not having enough.

Where can I welcome a moment of wonder to uplift or inspire me?

The Empress and Intimacy – Your time with Gideon is important. Hugs and touches are important. Kisses and quiet intimate moments are important. Don’t disregard their importance just because you aren’t healed enough to feel their benefits every single time. They are good for you even then.

@empressofthenightslight Roll the Tarot August Challenge
Roll :  17  Prompt : How can I best celebrate my journey today?

Reading Summary: Release your fears (Nine of Blades and Goddess of Disks). You need to let them go and step away from them (Eight of Cups), as their influence and weight is not beneficial to you and your stability at this time.

The Goddess of Disks (aka King of Pentacles) in this deck is about a pair of Minoan Snake Goddess figures, and incorporates themes that have to do with fertility, birth, death, transformation, healing, and sexuality. The myth speaks with great importance of snakes shedding their skin, which correlates with the Eight of Cups’ theme of letting go.

“The power of life causes the snake to shed his skin, just as the moon sheds its shadow.” – Joseph Campbell

Take Away: Right now, your anxiety is high and you’re on edge due to the amount of worry and stress going on in your life concerning your livelihood and business.  You need to step away from these fears rather than letting them overtake you, for it’s in letting them go that you can keep them from dragging you down into a detrimental head space.

Take control of your inner narratives and shed from that mental space what isn’t serving you instead of letting it get you worked up and compounding your anxiety.

Other elements included in this reading:
Copper Die for Energy Flow and Optimism in the Roll
Dried Rhododendron Leaves for Fostering Confidence
