So, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, just for fun, you know? And today, I pulled the 10 of Swords. Man, that card’s a real downer. It’s got a guy lying face down with ten swords sticking out of his back. Not exactly a picture of sunshine and rainbows.
But I’ve learned that even the “bad” cards have something to teach you. So I decided to dig into this 10 of Swords thing and see what advice it might be trying to give me.
First, I grabbed my favorite tarot deck and shuffled the cards while thinking about a problem I’ve been having at work. Then, I laid out a simple three-card spread – past, present, and future. And guess what? The 10 of Swords popped up in the “advice” position.
I stared at the card for a while, trying to figure out what it meant. It definitely felt like rock bottom. Like, things can’t get any worse, right?
- So I started brainstorming what this card could mean in my work situation. Maybe it’s telling me that this painful situation is almost over. It’s like, “Okay, you’ve been stabbed in the back, but now it’s time to get up and move on.”
- Then I thought, maybe it’s a warning to stop being a victim. Like, don’t let this one bad experience define you.
- It could also be a push to let go of the past. It is like whatever happened, happened. You can’t change it, so just leave it behind.
After some reflection, I decided to take some concrete actions based on this “advice.”
My Action Steps
- I made a list of everything that’s been bothering me about this work situation.
- Then I wrote down what I could learn from it.
- And finally, I made a plan to start fresh. New project, new attitude.
I actually felt a lot better after doing this. It’s like the 10 of Swords, even though it looks scary, was just trying to tell me to let go of the old and embrace the new. It was a good reminder that even when things seem really bad, there’s always a way forward.
It was a pretty interesting experience. Who knew a gloomy-looking tarot card could actually be so helpful? Maybe I’ll keep pulling cards for advice. It’s way cheaper than therapy, haha!
