Close your eyes. Take a breath. Feel your heartbeat keeping you steady.
It is safe for you to enjoy a moment of peace, a moment of clarity, and reflection.
At times, the world begins to feel so loud that we lose the ability to hear our own thoughts. Clouded by deadlines and crises, overwhelmed by sirens and shouts, we lose our center. Yet, it is this swirl of chaos that strengthens our appreciation for moments of stillness– such as this one.
When the time for peace finally arrives, it can feel overwhelming to decide how to spend it. Do you phone a friend? Take a long bath? Pull out your journal or read? While there is no wrong answer as long as it is in alignment with you, here is a chance to take the guesswork out of your self-love practice.
Most people think tarot cards tell the future. Yet, that isn’t exactly true. They clarify what we already know and feel within. The answers we’ve been too busy or stubborn to accept step forward because we choose to find stillness and connect with our intuition through this practice. So, lean into your intuition and say to yourself during this break from the chaos, “I matter too”. Open your heart and know there is no wrong way to pour love back into your cup. But here are three paths to choose from so you can be sure you’re making the most of this precious moment alone.

Card 1
The Empress is here to remind you of your strength, vitality, and abundance of… well, everything you’ve been seeking. Deeply connected to the natural world, she symbolizes the fertile ground where new ideas and life take root, blossoming through patience and care.
Pour self-love into your daily routine in ways that feel decadent and lavish to channel your inner empress and help you receive the love you so freely give to others.
Ways to fill your cup: Bubble bath with rose petals, at-home facial, home-cooked and nourishing candlelit meal from scratch
Card 2
With the two of pentacles emphasizing balance, it’d benefit you to remember how to ebb and flow.
Honor the yin and yang of your life by acknowledging that hard work requires rest, dedication calls for moments of ease, and productivity can yield to fun.
Ways to fill your cup: Journal on ways you may be overworking and under-nourishing your soul.
Go for a walk while listening to an educational podcast, take dance breaks between emails for a day
Card 3
The 8 of Swords is a card of worry, negative thinking, and paralyzing thoughts. Remember, what you believe you become. You have power over your choices and your world, despite how stuck you may feel.
Lean into movement to get the energy flowing and recognize the sovereignty and independence already flowing within your bones. Perhaps your breakthrough is on the other side of this obstacle.
Ways to fill your cup: take a class in a new form of movement (online or in-person), 10-minute dance party, intuitive stretching and breathwork.
