Okay, so, today I’m gonna share my experience with the 9 of Swords tarot card, specifically how I dealt with it as an action item. Let me tell you, this card is a real bummer. When I see it, it’s like a dark cloud of doom and gloom. But, I’ve found a way to flip the script, so stick with me.
First off, I pulled the 9 of Swords during a reading when I was feeling super anxious about a big project at work. My mind was racing with all the things that could go wrong, you know, that classic overthinking spiral. I was losing sleep, stressing out, the whole nine yards. Seeing the card just made it worse, honestly. It felt like confirmation of my worst fears.
But then, I remembered reading somewhere that every tarot card has a flip side. So, I started digging into the 9 of Swords. I read articles, watched some videos, the whole shebang. Basically, I wanted to understand what this card was really trying to tell me. And you know what? It’s not all bad.
This is what I did. I took a step back and really looked at my fears. I made a list of everything that was freaking me out about the project. Then, I started tackling them one by one. Some of them were legit concerns, so I made plans to address those. Like, I reached out to a coworker for help on a part I was struggling with, and I broke down the project into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Here’s a breakdown of the actions I took:
- Acknowledged my fears: I stopped trying to ignore the anxiety and just faced it head-on.
- Made a list: Writing down everything that was worrying me helped me get it out of my head and onto paper.
- Addressed real concerns: For the things that were actually valid concerns, I made plans to deal with them.
- Sought support: I asked for help when I needed it. Turns out, people are generally willing to lend a hand.
- Changed my mindset: I started focusing on what could go right instead of what could go wrong. I visualized a successful outcome and how good it would feel.
It wasn’t easy, and it took some time, but slowly but surely, I started feeling better. The anxiety didn’t magically disappear, but it became more manageable. I was sleeping better, feeling more in control, and actually making progress on the project.
So, the 9 of Swords, yeah, it’s a scary card. But it’s also a reminder that we have the power to face our fears and change our mindset. It’s not about ignoring the bad stuff, but about finding ways to work through it. Trust me, if I can do it, you can too. You’ve got this!
