RECOGNIZING PATTERNS

i think recognizing what brings up certain feelings is incredibly important in addressing them - how can we fix something if we don’t know how it starts? i realized That it was my morning and night routines that were causing me the most stress and messing with that peace that i wanted to achieve. for starters, phone in the morning will always stress me out and bring up thoughts that were unnecessary to starting my day. i let myself think for about 15 minutes (if i was good at meditation, id probably do that. But im not so I don’t force Myself) and then if need be I go on my phone for only necessary things. same thing with night routine. i try to journal and get my thoughts out before That Hour happens and i start to overthink about everything I’ve ever done. so i can be prepared and think logically about things That might disrupt my peace i worked hard for during the day. laying out my thoughts on paper sometimes even makes them seem a little silly after the fact. and being able to name specifically what is wrong will always make my issues feel more tangible and therefore have tangible solutions that will, thus, bring us some more peace

Take the day off

i think that there’s a level to which this is possible physically (calling out sick or skipping class if you’re a student or whatever) but even if that’s not possible emotionally checking out + going through the motions and making space and time for your recovery afterwards is almost always how you beat a bad day for me if the vibes are atrocious beyond reason i’ll call out of work, clean my apartment, then go for a walk, go to the jewish deli and get an egg + pastrami hash on a kaiser roll and a coffee, then go home and either watch tv, play video games, and if i’m feeling up to it later do some kind of writing or reading or other enrichment activity (and sometimes enrichment just isn’t on the table at that’s cool too) whatever your comfort rituals / little treats are, pull out all the stops and really just stop for a second, take a breath, and let yourself just be, and it’s guaranteed to make getting through it easier by making the day less hard, or giving yourself something to look forward to afterwards

Run away from your problems

Just temporarily!! the only thing that lets me fully reset when I’m in a bad mental loop is to leave my environment and go somewhere new. Get as far as time and budget will allow and see different streets, landscapes, buildings, whatever. Get a little lost if possible! It forces me to be a lot more present and I return to normal life feeling like I got unplugged and plugged back in.

Embracing The Fool Archetype

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom. The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust.  The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back.  This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out.  The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy.  I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.   The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow.  I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more.  The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think!  The Fool does not fret about what if’s!  The Fool is in the moment!

DANCING YOURSELF CLEAN

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
