But Do You Talk to Your Friends That Way?
This week I have been thinking about the way we talk to ourselves in our heads. So often we talk badly about ourselves to ourselves. Sometimes our negative self-talk even comes out of our mouths when we jokingly or seriously say bad things about ourselves to others around us.
Self-deprecating humor has its place, of course, but not if it is a window into what we truly tell ourselves, and what we believe about ourselves.
Self-talk matters. We talk to ourselves more than we speak with any other person. What we say to ourselves is important.
It is good to be honest, and to be able to have an unflinching assessment of our flaws, and our goals toward doing better. Yet, when we talk with ourselves about who we are, what we do, what we want, and where we are going, we should always do it gently, and with love.
Our good friends speak with us honestly, and they find a way to do it lovingly.
A tarot reading may offer us firm advice, yet tarot will also affirm our positive qualities and our mastery of our journey.
We all have moments of negative thinking. It is okay to hold space for sadness, momentary fear, a bad mood, or the processing of an inner wound. We cross a line when we let those bad feelings inform our relationship with ourselves.
Be mindful of your self-talk. If you wouldn’t say it to a friend, don’t say it to yourself.

Tarot for Magic and Mediumship Hybrid Class
On Thursday, October 28, from7 pm to 9 pm ET, join us for an exciting tarot class.
Tarot for Magic and Mediumship Hybrid Class will be held in person at my office in Palm City, and online on Zoom.
This will be an enlightening seasonal tarot class.
Tarot is a multi-facetted spiritual tool. So often we think only of simple divination when we work with our tarot cards. Yet, tarot is a set of magical tools, and a gateway to communication with spirit.
Tarot readers of all levels of experience will learn new ways to work with tarot in this class. You will explore the cards as tools for manifestation and healing. You will learn to connect with those in spirit using your tarot cards.
Class fee is $40. Get your ticket now!
Tarot for Positive Self-Talk
You can have a conversation with tarot that will help you have better conversations with yourself.
Shuffle your cards. Tell your cards what you have been thinking and feeling about yourself. Ask some questions and pull some cards to create a shift.
You might ask, why do a feel this way about myself? Or you can ask, what is another way to think about this? Or ask, is this thing that I think true?
You can ask tarot for encouraging messages by asking things like, what is something about myself I can celebrate? Or ask, what did I learn from this difficult situation?
Allow tarot to help you shift your tone as you talk with yourself about yourself.

Cards for Your Consideration
For your consideration this week I offer you one of my favorite oracle decks, Magical Times Empowerment Cards by Jody Bergsma.
Each of these cards offers a positive message, something to think about, and a lovely image that will stimulate your intuition.
Sometimes oracle cards such as these are exactly what we need to help us be gentler and more loving toward ourselves.
This is not to say that healing messages can’t or don’t come from tarot. Sometimes, though, a light-hearted, quick, easy message from a pretty oracle card is exactly what we need in a difficult moment.
