༄ king of cups reflection ༄
to whom this may concern, at times life gets rough. things are chaotic & extremely out of our control. the secret to maintaining sanity is allowing things to be as they are. allow the chaos around you to ensue because it is around you & not within you
not stooping to their level is a skill. refusing to mirror their toxic behavior that you naturally do not subscribe to is a skill. to choose compassion, patience and to keep the peace because you know their projections are not true reflections of you.
knowing so deeply within you that you are capable of great things even though life gets hard & may have significant effects on your mental health. even though that will inevitably have effects on your work ethic & productivity. the goal is to keep getting back up & trying again.
the goal is to know all of these things & not feel weak. to feel empowered through your humanity because deep down you know, trust & believe that even when you fall down 7 times you get up 8. the king of cups is not easily overwhelmed & this ability comes from trial & error.
this ability comes from a shift of consciousness. he was once easily overwhelmed, as we all have a tendency to be... especially when we let things build and build within us. through emotional transparency with ourselves we can surpass this internal state of panic.
you are a person of balance. all things you desire you can achieve. the king of cups believes this about himself. he has lived enough of life and loved and failed enough times to know that the cycles will come no matter what so why not embrace them with open arms.
you can be vulnerable & stay true to yourself. you can have breakdowns & build yourself back up. the king of cups can take himself out of the equation. he is the perfect balance between objectivity & subjectivity. observing & internalizing.
when you put in the time and effort to understand your emotions, they lose the power. they lose their ability to control you. the king of cups does not act impulsively. he does not allow his emotions to take the drivers seat in his decision making.
some people carry wisdom from past lives, others develop it through tough experiences in the current life. the king of cups is a mixture of both. he is an attainable sense of consciousness. you have so much wisdom within you waiting to be discovered.

I’ve been doing some deep reflecting on the concept of inner child healing and what that even really means. I know we all hear about tending to our inner child and it may be simplified to “taking up a lost hobby” or “spending time doing things we used to love doing”.
These are great suggestions but I still wondered what it really means to heal one’s inner child.
I realize now that the work is never really done. We hear the saying that healing isn’t linear all the time but is it even possible to achieve an obsolete and concrete healed version
of ourselves? I’m not sure, I’ll let you know how I feel about that if I’m lucky to live 40 more years. What I do know is, every one of us lacked some version of love or attention in our childhood. Whether we realize it or not, whether it was deeply traumatic or not.

that fear of abandonment be fucking people up during intimate relationships. without doing that shadow work about where that fear comes from and working everyday to understand it and disprove it logically, the relationships always end up catastrophic and rollercoastery.
it's sad seeing the love bomb in the beginning or one give off an unreasonable amount of passion and intensity because they want to win someone over real bad to ensure they don't leave. then when they get a slight hint of dissatisfaction from their partner they start panicking.
it sucks when they think no matter how good things seem, the relationship is doomed. then its hard for them to believe that people will actually be there for them so they start self-sabotaging & projecting unreliable personality traits on the person who is really there for them.

cancer 🕯careful who and what you try to make a home out of. home is within you, it always was and it always will be. there’s a theme of needing harmony in a situation but being too blind emotionally to efficiently achieve that. don’t overwork yourself with this one.
cancer 🕯you need to ground yourself in reality for a moment. look at things realistically, you cannot manipulate this situation. it simply is what it is. you had high hopes for it and it let you down not once but twice or more. all that glitters absolutely is not gold.
cancer 🕯it’s not that you didn’t see this coming, you did. a mile away in fact. you just wanted to be wrong about it because the attachment & company felt good. now there’s no ignoring what’s upfront of you. don’t sell yourself short by trying to dust things under the rug.

leo⏳it seems like you haven’t been feeling appreciated by those around you & enough is enough. i sense a deep feeling of regret & disappointment. also some disbelief because you may be telling yourself “i did everything right so how did it end up like this”.
leo⏳lack of reciprocation from friends, family & partners seems to be a reoccurring theme for you. it’s time to stop asking why are they doing this to me & more so what can i change about myself to better avoid these uncomfortable dynamics i keep finding myself in.
leo⏳now this doesn’t mean it’s your fault but it’s time to look inward at what draws you into to these people that inevitably let you down. aside from that, i see you have an issue with projecting an image onto someone.

i think lack of motivation & energy in an individual whether it be random or due to a depressive episode, is definitely a touchy subject but one that needs to be spoken about regardless. if our therapists are not helping us, then we need to help us. by any means necessary.
when an individual is not ready or in a deep state of self doubt, any solution regardless of how it’s delivered can feel like an attack. this is a symptom i know that. doesn’t mean i’ll stop trying to get my loved ones or twitter family to move they body. 🦋
but even anger in a response can highlight to the individual, where they are at in their healing process and what more still has to be done. emotions and expression, no matter which ones, are better than nothing. you are angry? okay good what are we gonna do with that anger.

i need to work on my selftalk. the language i use w/ myself is important. it affects the way my brain perceives the world & thru affirmations i’m teaching my brain to view things in a different way. there’s psychological & neuroscience research supporting the use of affirmations.
apparently for affirmations to work they have to be used regularly & the more specific they are, the better. the goal is to really train your brain to feel as if it’s prepared and capable of anything & powerhouse for growth, adaptation & understanding.
according to cascio & colleagues in a study done in 2016, there is MRI evidence that suggest that certain neural pathways are increased when people practice self-affirmation tasks. specifically, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex which is involved in positive evaluation &
