Navigate to your best life
Lately, I have been thinking about the balance between striving to do things well, and suffering with the critical monster of perfection.
A lot of us are taught to do our best and aim for the top. There are positive attributes to this, but the side effects can be dire.
Many of us are so hard on ourselves when we fall short that we decimate the joy of our accomplishments.
I was a girl scout, and I love having my little pouches with all the tiny items that rescue me from crisis. It quells my anxiety in the meantime.
I also see how too much stuff becomes a burden.
It’s a balance act.
So how prepared in life is the right amount for you, and how much is too much?
Here are some tenets of preparedness to consider for yourself.
This month’s reading is intense, but ends well with the Chariot.
The good news is that you can find structure and balance in your own life with some prime choices…
December is the month of charity from so many directions.
The holidays are about gifts and supporting those with less than us.
The tax season ending means we might benefit from donating to good causes.
And the weather reminds us of those without shelter or food who we wish to support.
Yet, with so much good intention, a lot of us come to begrudge the pressure of the season.
That’s where the wisdom of the 6 of Pentacles comes in.
As a Tarot Reader, I know that it all comes down to balance.
From a Tarot perspective, we need to engage with each of the four elements everyday.
Earth is about our income and resources, including relationships.
Water is about the heart and emotions and our spiritual connection.
Air is about our mental intellect and communication.
Fire is about our desire, movement, and the way we move our energy.
The Tarot gets it. And that’s why the theme of Balance is one of the most predominant in the Major Arcana. The cards attempt to touch on all the different ways we try.
