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

“While a certain amount of worrying may be necessary, worried thoughts (generally) become more worried thoughts. What we pay attention to can become our whole life.”

The @GlitterbyInk #OctoberMagic25 Challenge
Crone Prompt for October 16th : Wisdom
Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Engager of Wands (Knight of Wands), which is traditionally a representation of a projective beta energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s drive, passions, willpower, principles, inspiration, or enthusiasm. This often translates into themes that have to do with rash behavior and a go-get’em attitude toward the things that matter to that person.

The Knight of Wands has then been combined with a Halloween Affirmation card that says, “Halloween reminds me to be my unique self.”

Be you… enthusiastically and unapologetically.

We are all freaks.  All of us.  And, that it’s those of us that embrace this and make it our own that find the confidence to show our true selves to the world at large.  This takes courage and enthusiasm, and a willingness to be different.

Today’s message is an encouragement to lean into your differences instead of trying to “fit in” with the crowd.  Embrace those things that make you unique, and don’t be shy about them.

@LightningWildflower October Tarot Challenge
Fire and Air “The Sixes” Prompts for October

Six of Wands

What is a creative way to celebrate a recent accomplishment?

Clouds, Death, Lady – Take some time to examine how you really feel about the recent changes taking place. Your emotions need to be brought out and sorted through rather than just brushed under the rug. Give yourself the gift of listening to them with nurturing engagement rather than disregarding them outright. Just because it seems you are trapped into the changes taking place, and as a result are working on adapting, doesn’t mean how you feel about it all doesn’t matter.

Six of Swords

What is a gradual change that’s taking place in my life?

House, The Tower, Garden – The restructuring going on in your life right now affects a number of areas of beyond just your business, spilling over into house and home, your friends and acquaintances, and even your tolerances where others are concerned. It’s not so much the obvious change that needs  your attention so much as these smaller ripples outward that it has caused, which manifest in a more gradual and less obvious ways.

How can I move more easily through times of transition?

Fox, Enactor (King) of Cups, Lily – Keep in mind that wearing your heart on your sleeve doesn’t have to be a weakness. It can also be a strength and a strategy depending on how it’s used. It allows others to see your intentions and the values that drive your decisions clearly, leaving no room for misunderstandings.
