Ace of wands – I know I can do it!

Ace of wands - Anna K Tarot
Ace of wands - Anna K Tarot
For today’s draw I've got the ace of wands from the Anna K Tarot. This ace is all about  new inspiration, trying new things, enthusiasm, energy etc. It’s a very appropriate card for me to start the week with, for I lack most of these qualities. The last few days I feel I’m a bit in a rut. There’re some things I want to do, to try  but I can’t seem to get started. I feel stuck, probable afraid of failing (one of the anxieties I have). When I think of starting something new all those alarm bells go off and I stop before I've even tried it. I beat myself up over not doing what I want and that doesn't help much either.  I suppose it’s my inner kid who is afraid. And who would beat up his child for lack of faith in herself. I should encourage her rather than being strict and severe. Look at this girl balancing to the other side gleaming with joy from all the cheers she's hearing: Come on! You can do it! You’re the best!. Perhaps the first step of accomplishing anything is loving my inner girl and complement her whenever I can; building up her self esteem and self confidence. I am sure in this way I can create a much more safe environment, for both me and my girl, to experiment and play. J

  1. The hardest part is taking that first step. But then once you do, the fear is likely to feel a bit more like fun. (I'm cheering you on over here!)

    2. Hee hee, am just choosing colours for our new home, and yellow is top of the list!

      I love the idea of taking time to praise your inner child for her willingness to try things. And I also want to say, you are better at this than you think - just look at this blog :D

  5. A wonderful interpretation of the Ace of Wands and love love the card. You can do it!!! Find a picture of yourself, a happy picture. Write under it in present tense "I am doing it (whatever it is you want to do)". Put it where you can see it often. Say it out loud often. One step at a time and don't give up. Start as many times as you need to start. xxxxoooo
