LIR 9215 Weekly - TaiwazR

Yup, pretty sure we've had this one before. And the meaning hasn't changed.










There is no need to give anything up. For most situations.

I'll grant you - there could be some situations where this rune is saying, "If you're looking for a particular XYZ, you aren't finding it because you’ve already used it." This is the day, event, situation, future you traded for.

But for most situations this rune is saying we can fit it all. Rather like one of those puzzles where you have to get all of the blocks into the box - there is a way for everything to go in. Whether you're talking about schedules or projects or getting one more thing into your suitcase for the trip, there is a creative way to include everything you really want. Everything that feeds you, or that answers to your truths, or that sparks your passions. You can, we can have everything we want this week. There is a way.

Even those situations where this is the day you traded for, you actually have the funds or the energy or the means to replace what you used previously. No hardship. No "gasp" SACRIFICE.

The final corallary - if something doesn't fit, really doesn't fit, if there is no way to eat the cake and have cake next week, then maybe cake isn't really needed, in either situation. I know it sounds like a divination cop-out, but it doesn't change the truth of our lives. If we are living our truths, practicing our passions, and every day making choices for our happiness, we KNOW that we can do and have and be everything we want. We know this is just a reminder. And we know that if something doesn't work, doesn't fit, doesn't feel right, then  it's not for us at this time, no matter how much we wish we wanted it.

TaiwazR - there is no need to choose. What you need will fit in your life. There are no limits to your truths.

*****

yes, it's really nice to hear "I can make it work." Yay me! 
The question I ask myself is how? How do I make it all work? I understand I can fit it all in, but HOW?

And it always, still, all comes down to practice. 

Wait! Before you throw your hands in the air and swear never to read my blog again, just... wait.

And breathe.

And remember. Did anything you do ever NOT require practice? From crawling to walking to reading to zinging that look at errant transgressors, some of it is skill, yes, but there was still and always practice. Even habits are made automatic by practice. Years of practice. And repetition.

Each time we work on something, do something, we achieve more knowledge and more skill. We understand a little more about the process, and about the way we (individually) do it best. 

If you're like me, you have realized that creating a HOW TO sheet is the best way to start anything new! I use it for my daily schedule and for all of my work. (How to pay bills. How to practice voice. How to do my fantasy writing time.)

This helps me a) know what all the involved steps are, so I don't conveniently forget to stretch in the morning; and b) change old habits by reworking the steps, so I can be consistent in my practice; and c)when the practice doesn't work, I can try a different way there on paper, and remember what I did differently.

I'll be honest, it is a guide. Somedays I do jump right over the "tidying up" because I really need / want to get to the "work". And I keep changing when I exercise. It is a learning process, learning to balance what I want with when I do it best.  I actually do pretty good grunt work during a specific time. And practicing breathing techniques as soon as I wake up in the morning is an excellent way to stay in bed for a few more minutes and still feel productive, with the side benefit of starting the blood flowing. Yay!

Practice. For me, it is the only way to fit everything in. Last month, I was calmly breathing over my sorting and filing. This month it is a smooth process, even when I skip a day. And I'm actually accomplishing things. Next month, I expect the sorting will be so easy I won't even need an in-box. And I'll be happily accomplishing my passions and my chores.

Because I can fit it all in. I can do all the things that really matter to me. With practice.


I hope you have a great week, and a happy practice!
