Here is your card reveal for these potent times:
#1 - You Can Do Hard Things - It’s not as impossible as it may feel.
There are many things in this life that we feel we cannot or should not have to do. It can be overwhelming to think about doing something that is hard, but in truth many things we label as hard could be more appropriately labelled as simply time-consuming or long. Sometimes not wanting to do hard things can be reminiscent of mindsets we might have had in childhood, when we never wanted to clean our room or do our homework. If you have pulled this card, then you might need to reassess what has been labeled as too hard.
Self-Care Exercise - Take time today to think upon the beliefs that might be holding you back. Are you putting yourself in a box by what you “cannot” or “should not” have to do? Sometimes choosing to push through the feelings of “I do not want to do this because I do not feel like it” can be quite beneficial. Note: Always trust your intuition when choosing which hard activities to do, and do not attempt anything unsafe to yourself or others.
#2 - You Are Wanted - There is a home waiting within.
Abandonment is a wound that many of us carry. It is a tender place within us that mourns at the prospect of rejection. Such a sweet heart beats within those who have experienced the pain of being unwanted. Be gentle with yourself in the presence of this pain. At our core, we all crave connection and to be drawn into the embrace of a beloved soul.
Acceptance Exercise - The exercise for this card is quite gentle in nature, but it will require you to be exceptionally vulnerable with yourself. I recommend doing this in front of a mirror, but if a mirror is unavailable or if it detracts from your ability to complete the exercise, please skip this step. Find a comfortable place and reflect on a touch that speaks to your abandoned inner child. For me, this touch is when someone cups the side of my face. Once you have found the touch that brings to life these tender places within, give that touch to yourself. Let yourself fall deep into the feeling of your hands on your skin, much as you would with a trusted friend or lover. If you are in front of a mirror, I would like for you to look into your eyes and tell yourself that you will never leave you, that you will never abandon yourself, that you will never walk away, and that IT IS YOU, BELOVED, AND ME UNTIL THE VERY END. If you do not have a mirror, close your eyes and say these words. Know that you are your own home and that it is waiting within.
Responsive Journaling Prompt - How does your inner child feel after hearing that you will never leave them? Do they feel loved and seen? Is there anything that they need at this moment?
#3 - It Is Time To Celebrate - Cultivate an air of celebration today.
Celebration is such a wonderful experience in this life, one that can bring about a sense of community and pleasure. Even the smallest of reasons to celebrate is reason enough, as it is the spirit of celebration, and not necessarily the physical adornments, that makes a gathering of people something extraordinary. If you have pulled this card, then it may be time to cultivate an air of celebration this week, through action and spirit. In addition, this card could mean that it is time for you to celebrate yourself and your accomplishments. This practice can be done with others or by yourself, but the key aspect is to focus on what you have already accomplished, not what might be waiting for you in the future. If we do not celebrate ourselves in our current moments, then it might be hard to celebrate ourselves in our future moments as well.
Self-Care Exercise - Create spaces that encourage play, laughter, and fun. Invite others to join you, and take pleasure in their company. Savor the simple beauty that good food and good friends can bring.
Responsive Journaling Prompt - How does it feel to your inner child to celebrate or to plan a celebration? What does the idea of excitement or expectation bring up in you? Are you worried about being let down or not being good enough? If you are experiencing any negative feelings around celebration, what can you do today to bring joy into it?
