The Stoic Tarot

Change is positive, even if it's hard. We can't grow, or get closer to our higher selves when we remain stagnant.

It's Monday, a good to to indulge in a party you love and miss, or connect with an old friend.

#tarotoftheday: Do not allow even the smallest thoughts of doubt to occupy your mind. Your thoughts shape your reality, keep them positive!

Self Care Message of the Day:⠀

⠀

decide if you will be the wolf, or the dog today. ⠀

⠀

Take 5 minutes to practice mindfulness - a simple easy practice of sitting comfortably, closing your eyes, and focusing on your breath. ⠀

⠀

focus on the inhale and exhale. focus on the rising and falling of your shoulders and belly. focus on the feeling of the air entering your nose and leaving your mouth. do this for just 5 minutes and feel the calm of your mind as the stream of thoughts and concerns quiets. ⠀

⠀

take the feeling with you throughout the rest of your day. when feelings of frustration or upset creep up on you take a moment to realize and acknowledge them. decide if you will allow those feelings to guide your actions, or if you'll choose to let the sensation pass and return to a calm, rational state. ⠀

⠀

decide to be the wolf, or the dog. ⠀

If you keep yourself from getting into arguments, you'll be prepared to face any coming changes with your head up. Get Tangled in drama and the tide of change will catch you off guard.

It’s not enough to simply want to do something. You must take that ambition and break it down into actionable items. Only then can you start to act on it, and figure out what you need to learn to move ahead.

Plant your seeds but don’t be impatient with the results. Things take time to grow and mature.

Off we go to reinvent ourselves, but first we must make sure we’re not still attached to any old ways of thinking or living.

I share what's been happening the past month, dealing with mental storms, and what some upcoming goals are.

Outline where you want to go with life, and set some boundaries so you don’t get lost in the day to day.
