Today’s card reminds me of a Tarot card fraught with anxiety and dread. When this one shows up, I tend to ask my client how much tail-chasing they’ve been doing.
Often we make our anxieties and worries far larger than they actually are. And it’s hard not to. But my sister sent me an email she gets. One of the things it said that really struck me was:
“We’re learning new ways to act and react and learning to listen is a good place to start.”
I sometimes beat myself up over reacting instead of acting. I do it a lot with close, personal relationships. More so, in fact, than with other types of relationships.
And a HUGE part of that is because I don’t listen. I’m often in my head SOLVING their problems. Oh that card? It’s the 9 of Swords.
Yeah.
Right.
This is a case of the Suckies striking for me. I get down on me. I feel bad about me. I shame myself for my reactions.
Leonie Dawson’s life planner had a page titled “What To Do When The Suckies Strike.” I laughed when I saw it, then immediately filled it out.
When my own anxieties and fears start taking on lives of their own, I’m going to refer to this list. I plan on making it my phone’s lock screen so that it is the first thing that I see when I access my phone. π
What are just two things you can do for when your own “life freakin’ SUCKS, y’all” moments hit you?
Write them down. Tuck them in your purse or your wallet or somewhere you can get to them easily.
THEN DO THEM.
There’s still time to get your copy of Leonie’s workbook. You can see my video review of the business version of this planner+workbook here.
Seek joy, y’all! Pass it on.
I am happy to say I can think of quite a few things to do when the “suckies” strike, some more productive than others. Ask my Dear One for a hug, cuddle Big Boy, stroke the cat π Pull some cards, read some blogs…
Btw, do you get to see who you get your affiliate kickbacks from? Not sure if the copy of the planers I got for myself was through your link. But today I bought a copy for a friend as a Christmas gift, and definitely went through your link π I think this is me being distrustful of technology – how old-fashioned is that?!
I do and I did. I was hoping it was a gift otherwise I was worried about your memory. LOL You have some great Suckies Warder Offers! ;D
Ha, my brain is not yet that kinda mush! π And yay, that page has already almost written itself. I’ll have to flick through the workbook to fill it in “offishally” π
