Are you a professional at worrying? Try this remedy.

Many of us are Gold medalists at worrying. Even when, truth be told, we’d rather not be in the running at all. Like it or not, humans are downloaded for survival and to trouble-shoot situations that look and feel dangerous. Running away from trouble or assessing the possible outcomes of a fearful scenario is literally part of our wiring. It’s what helps us live another day. It’s part of why we’ve evolved through the ages.

With that being said, many of my students and coaching clients struggle to move past this ingrained cycle - often feeling like they’re doing something “wrong” by not thinking enough positive thoughts.

How to end the cycle of regret and missed opportunities

Most of us are experts in beating ourselves up and holding a sword over our own heads. We go over and over how we could have, should have or would have done something differently.

The truth is…we can’t ever control how another person is going to react to us. I know we’d like to think we can, but it simply doesn’t work.

In Angel Tarot the Five of Water represents our relationship to this habitual thinking. The angels remind us that we can only take ownership in “how” we work through a challenge. We cannot ever be the deciding factor in the ultimate outcome. That just leads to suffering and control issues.

Positive Thinking Not Working? Try this sure-fire solution

Against our best efforts our minds can get carried away with worry, fears, anxiety, and worse-case scenarios. We hear about the powerful ways of calming the mind that have worked for others. Positive affirmations and thinking only positive thoughts top the list. However, when we feel afraid inside and utter the words it seems to feel shallow and soul-less. Truth be told, we feel anything but happy, calm and content.

Are we imposters? Aren’t we supposed to fake it until we make it?

Angel Card Message: 5 of Summer

Whenever I see a Five of any suit in an Angel Card Tarot Reading I know right away there is a major challenge afoot.  Not that it can't be overcome- it simply needs to be handled with care.  How we work through the challenge is the important part. The suit of Summer or Cups is indicative of leading with our heart, intuition and emotions. This can be helpful or it can be a hindrance, depending on the situation.

Angel Card Message: 9 of Winter

Introducing the Nine of Winter.  In my experience as an Angel Card Reader this is perhaps the most feared and transformative card in the entire deck.  Why is it feared you might ask? Well, the Winter or Swords suit represents the mind, logic, reasoning, truth and legal matters.  The mind is also where anxiety, worry, and stress lives when we aren't careful of our thoughts.
