Your favourite Psychic Tarot Reader is on holiday; what do you do?
Call your second favourite tarot reader?
You are at a crossroads and need to make a decision, but your favourite psychic tarot reader (me—only joking) is on holiday with their phone off. What do you do? Do you call up your second favourite psychic tarot reader, or do you try to figure it out by yourself?
Nearly every psychic tarot reading I deliver has this underlying question from the client: What should I do next? You may be considering a new job opportunity, leaving a partner, finding a partner, or buying or selling a home, among many other life decisions.
Although rare, some clients simply come for a spiritual MOT. Nonetheless, most people want guidance on what to do next. What a responsibility for me, huh?
I’m not trying to put myself out of a job here. A psychic tarot reading with me has many more dimensions than to figuring out what you should do next. Anyone who knows me well knows I’m always in favour of people becoming more spiritually resilient within themselves and not dependent upon psychics for divine guidance.
I strongly people that all of the answers we need for how to live our life lives are within us. All we need to do is create ways to access that inside knowledge.
Growing people’s personal agency and resilience and empowering people to follow their intuition are essential to me and all of my offerings. So, for those of you who don’t know, I always open every reading with the fact that the future is not set in stone; you always have to make your own decisions; you have free will. I also say, please do not make any life-altering decisions as you leave the reading. Sit with the information a bit and then see what follows.
HUMANS HAVE SHORT MEMORIES.
I don't know if you have noticed this, but humans seem to have such short memories and forget all that they have already achieved or the decisions they made all by themselves in the past.
Moreover, we tend to focus on the negative rather than the important challenges we overcame and how that gave us confidence and inner strength. What I’m alluding to is that when we feel everything is going wrong, remind yourself that you have overcome before and will do so again.
TRUSTING YOURSELF
If you want to improve your ability to make decisions for yourself and trust your intuition, there are certain practices you can do.
Review what you have achieved so far.
Spend 15 minutes with a notebook or on the computer, mapping out a timeline, outlining everything you have achieved so far in your life. As you do, you will start to remember times you forgot, what you did, and how that felt. Include what brought you joy and what felt like hardship. When it comes to times of challenge, remind yourself what you did to overcome it.
This is also an excellent moment to lean into gratitude. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to end up feeling jaded, bitter or slighted at the end of my life. Life is what it is, and I want to know within myself that I did what I could to make the most out of my life.
An abundance of choices
In the West and other parts of the world, we have an abundance of choices—almost too many! On the flip side, this makes it hard to commit to anything for an extended period of time.
When you start to consider the pathways you can choose from, start removing options that are not realistic or even desirable. Take them off the chessboard.
Map out stakeholders who will be affected by your decision: family members, spouses, and line managers. Who will impact your decision, and do you need to communicate with them what you are considering? We are not an island, which is why other people, to a degree, need to be considered. Not because we are not going to do it anyway, but because it is the right thing to do.
Reality shifting
With honesty, outline reality as it is, and then imagine what the future could look like. Then, start creating actionable steps to move towards that desirable future. At the same time, practice acceptance of where you are.
Two things can be true at the same time. You can accept your reality for what it is whilst imagining something better.
Consider how your decision will alter your lifestyle
We tend to resist change because we have become accustomed to a particular lifestyle, and there is stuff we don't want to give up. However, temporarily, there might be expensive activities you need to give up to achieve the future you want. Society expects us to behave in a certain way. Do what you can to let that go.
Grow your intuition
Experiment with your intuition. Our intuition is fickle at first, seemingly guiding us in all kinds of directions. Over time, though, and with experience and growing your confidence, you can strengthen your intuition. First and foremost, connection to your intuition is found within the depth of your meditation.
I often share a practice where I ask people to close their eyes, think about their decisions, and then visualise a translucent bobble. If the bobble expands, it's a yes, and if it retracts, it's a no. Only use this practice when you have become very familiar with your intuition.
Groundedness in self.
If you are grounded in yourself, you will be less affected by other people’s opinions and notions. Do what you can to always bring yourself back to groundedness and centeredness when you feel that you have been left astray. Journaling, breathing and a body scan can do this for you.
Always needing to feel excited.
Modern humans have a problem with always needing to feel excited, always wanting and needing more. We also have an issue with being bored. We need to learn to allow ourselves to be bored again. We have become programmed to be excited and always to experience novelty, and we need to desensitise ourselves from that.
I feel this correlates with making decisions because sometimes we rush to make decisions instead of sitting with them for a bit in boredom.
Journaling prompts
Journaling is an excellent way to get thoughts and feelings down on paper and out of your head.
Here are some options of the types of questions you could be asking yourself when considering a decision:
Which decisions feel mostly aligned with my purpose?
Expectations are a fickle instrument of the mind, so reflect on how your decision will take you to what looks good enough.
When you have made your decision, who are you spending time with?
Who is deciding over your choices now?
What are your limitations?
Where can you expand?
So, when I, your favourite psychic tarot reader, finally go on holiday, I hope you now have some practice to start making decisions for yourself.
