Okay, so, yesterday I was kinda feeling stuck, ya know? Like, career-wise, just…blah. So, I decided to pull a tarot card. Figured, why not? Might get some insight, right?
I shuffled my deck, like, a billion times. Focused my thoughts on my job, my goals, all that jazz. And then, bam! I drew the Empress.
Now, I’m no tarot expert, but I know the Empress is usually about abundance, creativity, nurturing…stuff like that. At first, I was like, “Okay, cool. But how does this apply to spreadsheets and deadlines?”
So, I started digging a little deeper. I thought about what aspects of the Empress I could bring into my work. Nurturing, right? Maybe I could focus on mentoring some of the newer folks at the office. Offer some guidance, share my experience.
Then there’s the creativity aspect. My job isn’t exactly artistic, but maybe I could find ways to approach problems with a fresh perspective. Think outside the box a little more. Stop doing things the same old way just because that’s how they’ve always been done.
I even brainstormed a few ideas. I volunteered to help with a project that involved revamping our team’s training materials. It was a chance to be creative and nurturing all in one! I also made a point of actively listening to my colleagues, offering support and encouragement whenever I could.
Here’s what I actually did, step by step:
- First: Pulled the Empress card and actually looked at it. Didn’t just brush it off as some woo-woo nonsense.
- Second: Researched what the card meant in different contexts. Career, relationships, personal growth, the whole shebang.
- Third: Brainstormed ways to apply the Empress’s qualities to my specific job and work environment. No generic advice, just practical stuff.
- Fourth: Took action! Signed up for the training project, started actively mentoring, offered help where I could.
- Fifth: Paid attention to the results. Did I feel more fulfilled? Were my colleagues responding positively?
It’s only been a day, but honestly, I already feel a little more…engaged. It’s like the Empress reminded me to bring my whole self to work, not just the part that crunches numbers. I’m not saying the tarot is magic, but it definitely gave me a nudge in the right direction.
I will say, I did almost spill coffee on my keyboard while trying to interpret the card. That was a close call!
Final Thoughts
This whole experiment taught me that even something as seemingly random as a tarot card can offer valuable insights. It’s not about predicting the future, it’s about reframing your perspective and finding new ways to approach your goals. Plus, it’s a fun way to break up the monotony of the work week. Give it a try sometime! You might be surprised at what you discover.
