Listen Later

Welcome to The Self-Care Tarot podcast with me Cat Crawford. A podcast that uses Tarot to delve a little deeper into self-exploration, enhance your journaling and aid with spiritual development.

We're officially in the throws of spring! The blossoms are blooming, there's new life everywhere and we're starting to feel a bit more in the swing of things. But, if you're feeling a bit lacklustre and struggling to get yourself motivated to make the most of the rest of this year, then this episode is the one for you. 

This week on The Self-Care Tarot podcast we're looking at the Eight of Wands and how we can use its guidance to assess our motivation levels and habits, to see if there's any room for improvement. We'll look at the many different factors that need to be taken into account when thinking about our energy levels and how we can create our own unique forms of motivation. 


Tarot Journal Prompts

  • Prompt 1: Identify why you are finding it hard to self-motivate. A good way of doing that is by finishing the sentence ‘I don’t want to do X because…’ or ‘I’m struggling to do X because…’ sometimes just putting things into context on paper can help you pinpoint those reasons you need to work on.


    • Prompt 2: Identify what your obstacles are? Take a look at how you’ve finished the sentence above and isolate those things as your obstacles that you need to overcome. It may be that you’ve got a sentence such as ‘I don’t want to do my accounts because I’m scared I’ll do something wrong’ in which case your obstacle is that you don’t trust yourself to know what you’re doing, or the task at hand is beyond your skill level. Another example may be that you have a sentence such as ‘I’m struggling to create a business plan because I always feel exhausted whenever I get time to do it’ in which case your exhaustion and lack of time or time management is your obstacle. 


      • Prompt 3: In this final prompt, think about what solutions you could create in order to overcome those obstacles. For example, what could you do to ease your accounting fears? Could you take a course? Hire a professional? Invest in some accountancy software to make your life easier? Looking at that final example from before, your solution may be to carve out some time when you know you have enough energy to work on that business plan or prioritize it before your other tasks so you can get it all sorted.
