The 8 of Wands from the Sacred Circle tarot by Anna Franklin.
What bothers me the most is not having enough time to do what brings me joy. 80% of that would be playing with my cards. Now that I am above ground again and back on the path, I want so much to write a blog everyday, keep up with all my fav blogs and spend time with a deck or a book. Fitting this time in eludes me. So far. It frustrates me.
My job creates a very busy, not exactly stress free, day. And I do it well. Unfortunately, once home there isn't much left. I have been successful working back in an exercise routine and have been faithfully sticking with it. That happens as soon as I get home. I made myself an exercise calendar marked with what needs to be done on a particular day, hung it on my closet door and sign off after I am finished. Worked.
Perhaps the 8 of Wands wants me to sit down and figure out a plan for the "me" stuff I am so missing. Not likely will I be able to do something every evening so my goal will be to work a few hours in over the week days and plan my weekends to give me a whole day to myself. That will have to be flexible but mostly workable. At least it would be a start.
There is just too much to do and not enough hours in the day ... I need more hours and I need more mental energy left for the evenings.
Some books say the 8 of Wands will bring me a message of love or romance ... hmmm. Probably not.
I wish you good luck with scheduling time for yourself and your cards. Perhaps it's an idea to make a list with relaxing tarot activities. (making mandala's meditating with a card etc), In that way you can recover from the working day and do something with your cards at the same time
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen, for some great ideas. Fitting in a meditation session is also on the list. Problem is by the time I get home, exercise ... then I have to prepare myself food and eat it ... well by the end of that, I am ready for a hot bubble bath (which is heaven for me) and bed. I know .. do a mediation in the bath. haha. Am off to work for the day. You have a good one.
DeleteIt is really tough to schedule everything in. I remember Carla at Rowan Tarot doing a pie chart of how she spends her time, and how much free time that leaves - not a cheerful sight. Still, congratulations on planning your workouts and sticking to them - that's definitely something! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I am proud of sticking to the workout routines. I do best with a routine, just need to figure it all out. Obviously work pays the bills so comes first. Can only do what I can do ... little bit here and there.
