I got to just keep going or I'm in the total like, yeah, hermit, like I'm in a chill and watching Netflix and let me just relax and then I feel like I get stuck in that. So I'm curious if anyone relates to that, what are ways that you stay focused on your attention and what are ways that you rest and are there time limits to that? And yeah, curious of your thoughts

Stay positive. Know what your priorities are and take action on them. Take control of your schedule. Release all doubts. Avoid naysayers and skeptics

The Hermit Card is one of solitude and meditation. It represents your capacity to go within and arrive at the cave of your heart. Many of the answers to your problems lie within and if you don't take the time to connect with yourself and feel comfortable alone, you won't be able to hear the messages that are rising up inside you

And it just speaks a lot to me in general, not only my current state of life, but also just my entire journey, which is to write as you pose, how does one become more intentional about the interior life, listening to the inner voice? How do we navigate the state of our mind and our heart? And I think you bring up something that is easily, in some ways for me, also a trap
I'm really just trying to explore who I am and what makes me happy outside of what I feel like society deems things that should make you happy and just really getting to know myself to my most truest, genuine capacity. So, yeah, this reading really resonated with me. And I think the only way to really learn about yourself and get to know yourself is to try to cut out as many distractions as possible and just stay really centered in cells

And I think it's just I'm learning about everything in your life, just taking a moment to kind of really think about it. And there's times where you're not going to be thinking about it. Right. And that you might have the Blinders, as you said, but that you're always kind of circling back and having the moments where you can be more intentional. But yeah, there's nothing wrong with taking some time and resting and watching a show. Thank you for that

Especially when you're always on the go, are always surrounded by other people or having to do things for other people. It's so important to take that time for yourself. And then. Yeah, like you said, not having any other distractions. I know that it's not always easy. So it's always great

And then from there you'll find so much joy in doing the art, so much joy and just going through the process. And then the process perhaps could be done from a place of resting as well. So this is a great post. It really made me think and helped me understand that things don't have to be a certain way. They can just be the expression and the beauty of what is thanks

Like, I need to already know the outcome of what I'm creating, which is just really silly when I think about it. But thank you. That was a really good reminder to be in the stillness and the process and even in the creating is just being in there, being in the moment and not thinking about the outcome. So, yeah, thank you so much for responding. I appreciate it

The universe is trying to tell you because your brain is cluttered with how you're going to pay your bills, which store you got to go to next, how all the kids are going to complete their homework. You're just all over the place. So it's important if you can because unfortunately, not everybody can have that time and space alone. But if you can, it is important to sit in silence. You know what I mean?

And I think maybe I do need to do more long walks with nothing, with no music or podcast, because I think that also is a distraction for me. So, yeah, thanks for sharing that
