Today is Tuesday.

But whatever, it's been a week, a month, and my favorite astrologer, Misti Workman, has told me that some heavy stuff is going on in the cosmos. So....

Magic Monday is a mindset and not necessarily a day of the week.

Today, lovelies, our card is:

The Ten of Cups

​

This card represents the feeling of joy, pride, and absolute bliss that comes from creating something (together) that you had no idea you were capable of making.

It's the feeling of, yes, looking at a newborn baby and basking in the miracle of life, creation, and magic that is SO MUCH BIGGER than us and that, at the same time, we will always and forever be an active part of.

It's the feeling of sharing a short story you wrote with your friends and having them enjoy it, and encourage you to keep going, even though you thought this dream was gone.

It's the feeling of coming out the other side of a creative process you thought might never be finished.

And I have to be honest, I needed this card today.

Because I've been getting sucked into the downward spiral of "I haven't done enough yet" and "I have so much more to figure out".

This card is a reminder to me, and to you, to take a moment to appreciate all you HAVE done, all you HAVE ALREADY created and received, and to celebrate it along with those who helped you get here.

Here are some ways you might bring this energy into this week:

🌟Write thank you notes (and maybe actual cards) to some of the people who helped you get to where you are. Offer gratitude and celebration, and, if you haven't spoken in a while, a chance to catch up!

🌟Find one or two ways to be extra gentle with yourself this week. Let yourself bask in that "newborn" fog, and pamper yourself. Because I have a hunch that when you actually did finish the project, achieve the goal, or hit the milestone? Your brain immediately fast-forwarded to what was next on your to-do list.

🌟Journal or meditate on one of the prompts below

1. When a human (or animal) grows a baby inside them, the process happens on it's own. No one can, through force of will or intentional action, hurry the process along or influence the inevitable outcome. How is your current project/business/endeavor like this? How might the creative process be happening even when you're not actively working on it?
2. As women, when we define ourselves, we often do it by referencing our relationships. "I'm a mom, a sister, a wife, a partner, a friend..." etc. Or by referencing our job "I'm a coach, a librarian, a baker, an artist." What if you allowed yourself to reference your accomplishments? Write a short bio that celebrates all you have achieved or created in your life!
3. Looking back, who has been a creative partner in the joy and success you currently have? (If it's hard to feel into joy and success in the present moment, you can focus on something small - the job you have, the craft you finished, etc). Look for the people you know, and those you've never met, who helped you to end up where you are.

An important thing to remember about this card & its energy is that we don't do anything all alone.

It's easy, especially if you have defined yourself all your life as being "independent" to feel like you are in this alone, whatever "this" is.

But you're not.

This is why I'm piloting a small-group program of my Good Girl Deprogramming offer - because when we create, learn, and grow together the results are unpredictable and powerful. If you're interested in learning more let's chat this week.
