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.
In the penultimate episode of season one of The Self-Care Tarot Podcast, we're looking at the Eight of Pentacles Tarot card and how it can help us better celebrate all the things we've already achieved and built for ourselves. Often we don't take enough time to sit with how far we've already come, instead, we're always looking to the next thing and then the next, so the Eight of Pentacles can be used to help us be more mindful of the world we've worked so hard to build, so we can better appreciate the things we are capable of.
In this episode, I spoke a bit about KPI's or key performance indicators. These are measurements by which you can track your progress and development in which ever way suits you. Some common KPI's are:
Amount of user traffic that visits your business website
The number of social media followers you have
Professional grading e.g. in an instrument, sport etc.
Monthly income
Amount of sales in your online shop Anything that you can use to see forward movement!
Prompt 1: Create a brain dump of everything you’ve ever achieved in your life and don’t hold back. Go right back to when you learned to walk if you have to. If there’s something specific that you want to focus on, for example, if you started a business, use that and go right back to the very beginning of that journey, maybe even before and write all wins down, even tiny ones.
Prompt 2: Next, write down all the ways you knew that you’d achieved those things. What defines those things as a ‘win’ for you? What is it that told you that you had achieved that thing? We’re trying to identify your performance indicators here so that we can better assess what it is you use to gauge your achievements.
Prompt 3: Next, write down all the skills you’ve gained throughout those achievements. Make a note of where you started and create a timeline of growth, making notes in chronological order of how your skills developed and how you knew they had reached the next level at the time.
Prompt 4: Yep we’ve got an extra prompt this week! Finally, create a KPI document, this means a key performance indicator document. All my marketing professionals will probably know what this is already, but it is basically a document that tracks your achievements and progress. You can use some of the examples I mentioned early if you like and I’ll make a note of them in the show notes as well so you can get stuck in. Make sure to update this document regularly, I have one for this podcast that I update every week to help me see how it’s doing and celebrate those achievements when I hit my goals.Book a Tarot reading with me: https://theselfcareemporium.com/tarot-reading
