mindfulness, being careful, being present/awareness

Not all that’s alluring may be what it seems; see beyond the illusion.

Your higher self chose this card because there is often an expectation that transformation will happen with a big bang. One day you’ll wake up and be completely different from how you were yesterday, or some dramatic event will happen that causes your whole life to renew itself. Transformation is usually sparked by a dramatic life change, but a spark only represents potential. You still have to take that spark and nourish it before it becomes a raging fire that burns through your life.

Mindfulness is the best way to begin forming habits that lead to dramatic results. For example, you may need to find more awareness about poor eating or money habits. You may need to be more present in your career if you’re looking to advance. Perhaps you need to be more mindful about the ways you’ve given away your power. Maybe you allow others to speak to you negatively or you find yourself giving a lot more than you get in return.

Once you’re mindful of where you need change you won’t be able to unlearn this information, and each moment of awareness will become an opportunity to make a new choice. You can continue to make the same choices that have kept you where you are or you can decide to do something different and begin to move in a new direction, taking one tiny step at a time.
