The Nine of Swords' and Overcoming Worry By Taking Back Control of Our Lives

Saturday, September 10, 2016.  Had a decent night's sleep, did awake a few times though but fell quickly back to sleep.  Was dreaming about having conversations with people and discussing Tarot with them...I guess I would call it a working dream of sorts.  Very enjoyable and quite relaxing.  Perhaps, this was the reason why I slept in this morning.

After a quick cup of coffee I walked down to the park and took a seat on one of the benches overlooking the river.  The sun was shining brightly only occasionally being filtered by the few clouds in the sky.  I soaked up the sun as I relaxed into Spirit and Tarot, shuffling the Pagan deck here and there as the sun seeped into every atom of my being.

Spirit is and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Nine of Swords: Our Witch is having one of those mercilessly sleepless nights.  Every worry and concern presses down on her.  The weight of the world prevents her from relaxing in any way.  Nor is she being productive...all the crying in the world won't solve any of her problems.  It's likely that you may find yourself having a sleepless night or two.  Be aware that this kind of unproductive worry doesn't solve anything.  You are fully capable of handling these things that are bothering you.  As soon as you do, you'll enjoy restful sleep again."

The strongest message I'm receiving today is "You are fully capable of handling these things that are bothering you.  As soon as you do, you'll enjoy restful sleep again."

How about you?

Worry can be resolved by action especially in areas of our lives that we can control.  I know that a couple of days ago I said that more often than not our worry is about things we can't control however I recognize that is not always the case.  In fact we likely worry more about things we have control over than the opposite being true.  And our worry is compounded by our giving up power and control over our lives to something outside of ourselves, whatever it may be.  We must grab the reins of our lives and take back our control over our lives and keep it as this is where it belongs, with us.  Never relinquish control over your life to something or someone else.  Be responsible and accountable for the state of and the direction your life has taken, then you'll be in a better position to change it.

Thank You Spirit.
