The Tarot has been reminding me to slow down.
When you’re in a state of agitation or urgency, or stuck in survival mode, life loses its flavor. Productivity and creativity get swept away into exhausting hustle.
When you’re an empath, you absorb other people’s emotions, so you need to gently remind yourself that other people’s urgency is not your emergency or responsibility.
When you’re an introvert, you can get caught in a loop of overthinking and running through scenarios.
