Fullness

Today is a day of honing an awareness that has been developing, paying attention to what depletes and what fills.

The things the I know deplete me:
-meetings
-some of my colleagues
-people who constantly see problems with everything
-marking
-dishonesty
-people who generate drama for the sake of attention
-stubborn insistence on staying ignorant
-ignorance

Ways to diffuse these energy killers:
-doodle at meetings
-walk away, walk away, walk away!
-mark in a pretty environment, light a candle, light some incense, let the light in!
-smile.


Things that fill me with energy:

• The gym (What a struggle it has been! It was a constant battle with my ego-negative, but when I am done my routine, I feel like I can take on the world.)
• Art (I love color and images merging to make a whole)
• Writing (I can do it for hours)
• Soul Coaching and all the lovely people participating in it
• Storms. (Their majesty fills me with awe and makes me feel so thankful for the coziness of my home!)
• My Home. (I love being here)
• Showers (Water running over me, warm and soapy, make me feel new again!)
• My friends so filled with vibrancy and love. (Two shining examples are Danette and Emily)
• My cat, Stinky! (He is 15 and still runs around playing fetch like a kitten.)
• Children (What little bundles of energy they are! They make my being glow!)
• Pets (They don't have to be mine. They are the source of unconditional love and trust)
• Music & Dancing (Those two go together for me. I Cannot hear music without some part of my body moving)
• Drum Circles (There is nothing like getting together with a group of people and finding the rhythm of the Universe)
• Walking (Being outside, at peace with myself, accepting the world as it is while oxygen pumps my heart and muscles!)
• Smiling ( I find when I smile, it changes the energy around me)
• Acupuncture (The Universe spoke again, yesterday, and a pregnant friend of mine who is having a hard time in her first trimester asked for the name of a good acupuncturist. I found him for her. I found him for myself too!)

I need to pay attention to which foods boost me and which foods drag me down. My relationship with food was sabotaged at an early age, and I need to wipe the slate clean.

In my mission to find the sources of energy and depletion,
I need to find the balance.
To harness energy within me,
and become a source for others.
To stand secure in my own existence
and its place in the world,
not allowing everything to penetrate and influence my psyche.
To seek the sources of positive, healing energy!
To smile at those elements that seek to deplete me.

To find Temperance.
And this is the Tarot Card I have chosen to symbolize the day!

I hope your day is filled with wonder and energy, freedom from the things and people who drag you under, as you rise buoyant to meet the full, loving, natural you!
