✨Divination of the Day✨

We are taking care of our inner child- when we start to meet those needs, we can stop the criticism, both internal & external.

Criticism: the expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

It’s interesting too- last week I learned about triggers & the arousal cycle & stress responses. When we have a trigger (also called an ‘activation’ these days, because now even the word trigger can create a stress response due to its association to the feeling), we undergo a chemical reaction to a stressor- regardless of whether that is an external event or an internally created event (as in, is it our thoughts and feelings based on a previous experience in childhood or the past that is re-creating the stress response or is it a literal moment of danger that is occurring?). More often than not, we are not actually experiencing a life or death event, it is a re-creation of a past emotional event that caused us pain, and we are biologically wired to avoid things that cause us pain or distress. When we take the time to contemplate why we are becoming activated when certain situations occur, we can take the time to reparent ourselves consciously & without judgment or criticism. To take care of our emotional needs and to be kind & compassionate with ourselves first & foremost. Be understanding.

🌻Cards of the Day🌻

Today feels like a soft, caring & compassionate day. The qualities that are soft & kind. Sometimes Society (especially particular sects of society such as the business sects) makes us feel like we’re doing things wrong when we display vulnerabilities. Even the word vulnerability brings up a feeling of defensiveness in myself… what if we didn’t tinge this word with fear & instead saw it as a powerful act of being authentically human- viewing our interconnectedness & empathy as something to be proud of? 💗

‘I don’t want to live in a world where kindness is viewed as weakness.’

Do not forget that the purpose of our lives are not solely achievement based. It is found in the depth of experience that we wind up participating in. We find life in the empathy, the compassion & the connections that we foster in our lives. Do not lose sight of how many other areas of your life other than achievement are meaningful to you. How much love are you bringing to whatever it is that you are doing? It is not about the money- have you lived a good life that you are happy to have created? How have you touched others? How have others touched you- on the soul level? Let yourself be open to experiencing the world from a more heart-based place.

‘unbroken chain of consciousness’
is today’s
thought-provoking & contemplative statement

✨Divination of the Day✨

Maybe we’re feeling a little directionless today. When we’re making decisions about the direction of our lives- it is helpful to try & get focused- what are we good at? Do we feel confident in our skills? What areas might we need to focus on to improve?

Some planning and stick-to-itness might be apt in this situation.

Pick a direction & stick to it.

If it’s all in your head, when are you going to start applying yourself & following through?

The plans need to start being more tangible. If there is an area that you feel you could bolster your skills, commit to learning more.

‘Follow through’ ‘focus’ ‘concerted effort’ ‘commit’ & ‘planning’ all come to mind as keywords. Concentrate. Get focused.
