The Five of Cups…
This week will find you surrounded by emotional challenges and it is vital that you do not rely on convenient behavioral habits when you are trying to break through the surface. As you discover yourself in this ocean of difficulty and doubt, you can either swim or let yourself sink as the pain drags you down. Your usual strategies of avoidance will not help you this time, so get ready to find new and better coping mechanisms to help you rise above it all. You can do this, if you recognize that what you have done in the past to keep afloat only has you treading water. You are ready to change your approach and glide through the muck with a determined and enjoyable stroke until you reach the open air and feel the sun upon your face. So kick those feet (or flick that tail) and let your arms steer you into a new way of being. The sun awaits - you deserve it.
“Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves, that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.” - Tyler Knott Gregerson
