Book: Charmer and a flirt, unreliable, can bring energy if there are others to focus it
Guidance: Need for a change of scenery
Journaling
I'm not sure why this card called to me today because I know that I am not lazy and I know I need to steer my horse in the right direction. Maybe it is a reminder that everything that appears lazy is not. Most of us have been brought up to believe that sleeping late is lazy, that not working long hours is lazy, that wanting to sit and read a book instead of being outside playing is lazy. As a result of all that haranguing and complaining, I think we were all taught that to sit and take a breath and to take care of yourself is lazy, but taking care of yourself is the farthest thing from lazy that there is. Taking care of yourself is smart and means that we have a better life. Life is really all about balance I and I know that there are some people who are truly lazy, however, I also know that taking care of ourselves, sleeping enough, and doing all of those things that help us take care of ourselves are not lazy.
I was reading Sabbath today and it was an amazing book about how the Sabbath is a day set in time to relax and to take care of ourselves. We honor God and ourselves when we take time to slow down and let go of work, let go of tension, let go of anger. There is truly a need for more downtime in this world because when we have downtime we can think and dream and bring more peace to the world. I think one of the number one causes of stress in the world is not taking time to take care of ourselves. When we push ourselves so hard that there is no time for joy or wonder, we get angry, we get resentful, then we take it out on others.
