Okay, so I’ve been meaning to get more into Tarot, and the Strength card kept popping up everywhere. So, I figured, why not dive in and really try to live it for a day? See what happens, you know?
Getting Started
First, I pulled out my trusty deck and found the Strength card. I’m no expert, but the image of the woman calmly interacting with the lion…it just spoke to me. It’s not about brute force, but this gentle, inner power. That’s what I wanted to tap into.
The Morning Challenge
Usually, mornings are a chaotic rush. Kids, breakfast, getting everyone out the door…it’s a mess. Today, though, I tried to channel that Strength card energy. Instead of yelling (my usual go-to, I admit), I took a deep breath. When my youngest spilled his cereal, I just calmly helped him clean it up. No drama. It felt…weirdly good.
Workday Woes
Work was next. I had this HUGE project looming, and I’ve been procrastinating like crazy. Normally, I’d just stress and avoid it. But today, I decided to tackle it head-on. I broke it down into smaller tasks. I focused on one thing at a time. It wasn’t magic, I still felt the pressure, but I didn’t let it paralyze me. I actually made some decent progress!
Afternoon Slump
The afternoon slump is REAL, folks. Usually, I reach for another coffee and doomscroll on my phone. Today, I resisted. I went for a walk instead. Just a short one, around the block. I paid attention to the trees, the sky, the sounds. It was…surprisingly refreshing. My inner lion felt a bit calmer, a bit more centered.
Evening Reflection
- Did I conquer the world today? Nope.
- Did I magically become a Zen master? Definitely not.
- But…did I handle things with a little more grace and inner strength? Yeah, I think I did.
It’s not about being perfect; it’s about finding that quiet power within, even when things are * is what I have learned.
I’m going to keep practicing, so I will see what happens from here. Maybe tomorrow I’ll tackle another card!
