Today’s Tarot card is the Nine of Swords and comes to tell you to stop worrying about stuff. Your mind has an amazing ability to turn small issues into big problems – if you let it.
If you feel bombarded by your worries, try writing out your “problems” on a sheet of paper. This gets them out of your head.
Can you remember that last time you solved a big problem by worrying endlessly about it? Of course you can’t!
Your mind is a gift and its there to help you – but sometimes, if left to run the show it goes batshit crazy and starts fabricating troubles just so it can keep itself busy as a bee.
If there’s one thing your mind hates, its being idle. How noble! Thank your mind for working overtime without pay and then do something to switch it off like swimming, painting or yoga.
Nice read on the Nine of Swords! I’m finally getting some willingness to let go of the “bat shit.” Taking Flow Yoga classes, instead of Ashtanga, has really helped. In Flow, the teacher mixes it all up and I have to really be in my body, not my bat-shit head. In Ashtanga, though, it’s the same ol’ 26 poses every time. I could give myself a freakin’ manicure WHILE I’m doing Ashtanga.
Sweet dreams.

Flow yoga is great – but its tough! There’s no slacking off with flow yoga.
Worrying used to be a “hobby” of mine. It is a relief to have discovered some techniques. Like you’ve mentioned to quiet it down. Writing is really my thing. That is for me the number one problem solving tool. Thank God for journals!
