I'm starting off today really struggling to find center. I don't know if I didn't ease into the day enough or what. All I know is that I'm feeling unbalanced and unfocused today.

Even my daily meditation, today on self kindness, was had to _get into_.

Hopefully a few moments pulling and reflecting on a card will help some. And, if not, then I'll have an excellent opportunity to practice some of that self kindness today.

Two of Earth: Adaptability, prioritization, being on-the-go

Well, that's pretty direct now, isn't it? Adapt and prioritize. One of those I tend to be good at, the other less so. Today, I'm seeing "adapt to what you've got" and "prioritize things, so that you don't run out of steam with your limited resources". That last line about being on-the-go could also be an indication that I've been doing _a lot_ recently, and maybe I need to find the time to slow down and recharge.

My wife and I took some time last weekend to try to do that, but plans kept changing so quickly that we didn't get the rest/recharge time we'd anticipated. Maybe expecting more rest than I got is part of the struggle? Only time will tell

Today's meditation was on kindness. But, as a pleasant change, it was self focused kindness. I strive to be a warm, safe refuge for the people I care about. I often struggle to remember that I should be one of the people I care about, and provide the same kindness and warmth to myself.

I don't know about you, but I absolutely say things to myself that I would never say to anyone else, nor would I stand by and let someone say those kinds of things to people I care about.

I have frequently chastised friends for negative self talk with "nobody talks to my friends that way". Time to point that inward.

Wheel of Fortune (X): Life Cycles, transition, a turning point

First off, the art on this card is beautiful. It perfectly captures the idea of an inflection point. On one had, we are always at a turning point. Always changing form who we were to who we are becoming. But, being a major arcana, this feels bigger than that. In relation to my meditation about kindness, maybe focusing that inward is the turning point to a better version of me. Often, the thing holding us back is our attachment to old stories. Ways we "always have been" or "should be". Instead of living in the moment, and being who we are right now. Your past informs who you are, but it doesn't have to define it.
