Thursday Thought - Living Deliciously

✨August 10th, 2023 - Living Deliciously✨

Good Morning Mystics!

I've been receiving a lot of guidance to live lately. And this is a new question I've been living into: what does it mean to live deliciously? Or, more simply, what does it mean to live? These questions might be a tad existential for a Thursday Morning, but bear with me. Society has taught us what success looks like, what we're supposed to be doing, how we're supposed to live, work, etc. But the world is beginning to change the definitions of life. Of living. Of success, work, doing things.

And I've been coming out of my shell more and more as I lean into (live into) my work as a tarot reader, as a writer, as a person who loves to make meaningful connections with others. I'm getting out more instead of fulfilling that stereotype of the reclusive writer. I'm making an impact on people's lives while reading tarot. I'm not working in a traditional career, but honing my skills as an intuitive reader (and writer). I've learned more about myself and my gifts than I have through the books I've read because I'm actually living what I read—I'm practicing and putting to work what I learn rather than letting the words come into my mind where they simmer. They can simmer while I practice; while I act.

✨

Because of this, I think that's why I keep receiving guidance while journaling to live. Keep trying, keep working things out, keep learning! Where we don't succeed isn't where we fail. It's an opportunity to see what doesn't work out so we can find what will. Life is a journey. It's meant to be lived and experienced despite how hard it can get. Despite how good it can get. Life is a continuous cycle and we are too.

I've been more open to setting intentions for the day that go like this: "I intend to see what my day brings me. I have no outcomes planned, nor attachments to how the day shall go. I trust that which is meant for me will come to me when it's meant to. And if today isn't that day, then so be it! I accept what does come to me today with joy, love, and gratitude."

✨

This intention has completely changed the way my day goes. I don't have any expectations. It allows me to flow freely and surrender to what's meant to come into my life. I'm more deeply rooted in the present, and that's what makes life so interesting to live because I don't know what will come to me and that's exciting! What magic can the day bring? Let's find out!

✨

That's what living deliciously means—in part—to me at this moment. It's a topic I hope to come back to one day where I can expand as my perspective shifts.
