Instagram post 2190293028044682656_13534967425 ✨Magic Mondays!✨ Tarot for the week of December 2nd, 2019. This week, I thought it would be fun to give the Cat Tarot deck a try! We drew the Nine of Swords (reversed), the Four of Swords (reversed), and the King of Cups. This week, we may be feeling stuck, fearful, or depressed, and we're being reminded that the only way out is through - commit to self-care, and spreading kindness wherever you can.⁠ ⁠ The ⚔️ Nine of Swords reversed tells us that we're going through so much right now - we're hanging on for dear life! Everything we've been going through has brought us to such a state of mental exhaustion, we might be unwillingly making things worse with our negative thoughts and feelings directed towards ourselves. Release your grip - it'll be much easier to make it through this time.⁠ ⁠ The ⚔️ Four of Swords reversed is asking you to be honest with yourself - are you taking time to rest, or are you hiding? Are you paralyzed with fear, or are you truly exhausted? There's nothing wrong with pulling away as you recuperate, but ensure that your downtime is helping you recover and take care of yourself - not just hide.⁠ ⁠ The 🌊 King of Cups represents emotional balance, compassion, and creativity. He's deeply connected to his instincts. He's asking us to remember that kindness and generosity will help us move forward, and that self-discipline goes hand-in-hand with managing our lives and emotions. ⁠ ⁠ Together, the cards this week tell us that it's important for us to take care of ourselves, but not to the extent that we just ignore our problems. Care for yourself, care for others, and you will make it through whatever tough times you are going through now.⁠ ⁠ Also, a reminder that I currently have tarot readings ✨ON SALE✨ for a limited time!

Instagram post 2189612473237074646_13534967425 What a beautiful view for the start of December! ❄️⁠ ⁠ It always seems I'm in the minority when I say this, but I LOVE when it snows! Everything always feels so fresh and magical. I thought this was a really good omen for the beginning of the month, the last one before the start of a new year!⁠ ⁠ I'm working on a little something for you all. Something that I hope will help us all go into the new year feeling inspired, excited, and capable. 💖 Any guesses? ⁠ ⁠ I believe there is a certain kind of magic in this time of the year, so let's create some magic of our own, shall we? ✨⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #snow #gratitude #winter #magic #newyear #goodvibes #highvibe #mindfulness #intuition

Instagram post 2172254451049385955_13534967425 Sometimes life feels heavy, and that's when you get yourself the Cat Tarot cards you've been eyeing up for a while. 🐱 I love how light-hearted and sweet this deck is, while still offering useful advice and insight. ⁠ ⁠ Today, I drew the Nine of Wands. The book describes this card, "No matter how worn-down you may already feel, it might be time for you to guard your own territory carefully."⁠ ⁠ For the upright position: "You're safe. You have a nice, sturdy wall of protection around you. That said, it's not a time for complacency. It's a time for courage, persistence, and great strength. You're close to having everything you want, but remain on the lookout."⁠ ⁠ Definitely a reminder I needed! I thought I would share in case this message resonates with anyone else as well. 💖⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #cattarot #tarot #tarotreading #cutedeck #cat
Instagram post 2161995322507472898_13534967425 ✨ I want to create some kind of Joy / Gratitude / Self-care challenge starting in November! What would you be interested in? ✨⁠ ⁠ So lately, my depression has been hitting me pretty strong. Recent life changes haven't helped, and overall I've been feeling pretty useless and numb to the world. It's less a sadness and more of a "blankness." ⁠ ⁠ I know this time of year, as the days get shorter, a lot of people start to feel down, too. Whether they experience Seasonal Affective Disorder or just miss the daylight, it seems several people have their moods affected.⁠ ⁠ I want to start incorporating more positive momentum of some kind into my days, and I'd love to create a challenge and have you guys join me! Here are some of my ideas:⁠ ⁠ 💜 Keep a running list of "Good things that happened" every day for a set amount of days. This is an activity that has really helped me in the past, because usually even "crappy" days have a lot of good in them!⁠ 💜 Create daily journal prompts. I find that journaling helps me clear my head, and good journaling prompts can really help facilitate that for those days where "free writing" just isn't going to happen.⁠ 💜 Daily prompts for a new simple habit to try (such as drinking more water, meditating, etc.) so you can try a bunch of things and see which feel good to try!⁠ 💜 ...perhaps some combination of the above?!⁠ ⁠ Let me know if you'd be interested in something like this, and what you'd love to see in the challenge!⁠ ⁠ Hope everyone has been well in my absence from Instagram. <3⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #selfcare #selflove #challenge #positivity #outside #nature
Instagram post 2130167495822556503_13534967425 ✨Magic Mondays is a little late on a Tuesday, but we're back after three days without power (thanks to Hurricane Dorian)!✨ Plus, check out my tarot shop which is NOW OPEN! Link in Bio! ✨ Tarot for the week of September 9th, 2019. This week, we drew The Queen of Wands, the Five of Wands, and The Moon. This week, we may be feeling a little disoriented and our world chaotic, but if we focus on our passions and our instincts, we'll learn a lot and make it through! 👑The Queen of Wands is charismatic and compassionate. She's warm, energetic, and generous. She's encouraging us to follow our instincts in this week ahead. Give freely to others when it feels right, and don't discard your independence for anyone. You are the only one who truly knows what you need! 🔥The Five of Wands indicates some level of chaos happening in our lives at this time. There's no "right" answer whether it's better to retreat or hold your ground - you must follow your instincts here. This can also indicate that something in your life requires a new direction, or that something is vying for your attention. Stay sharp and keep your wits about you, and you'll make it through! 🌕The Moon is a card signaling our intuition and unconscious minds. Depending on how intune you are with yourself, you might feel disoriented and confused. The moon is asking us to examine our thoughts, feelings, habits, and beliefs critically - this is a good time to come to terms with what we may wish to change about ourselves, as we'll be intuitive enough to figure out what we need to do to make the changes we seek. All of these cards together give some solid advice for this week: trust your instincts! ... Sorry for the lack of posts recently, everyone! I was working on my shop, had some personal issues to attend to, and then the hurricane knocked out our power for three days! It's been super chaotic, and I've been pretty overwhelmed because, without power, I haven't been able to work! It'd mean the world to me if you could check out my tarot shop at alexavanvliet.com/shop 💖 . . . . #tarot #tarotreading #weeklyspread #fountaintarot #taroteverydamnday #intuition⁠ #highvibes #spirituality #intuition

Instagram post 2120850208896495080_13534967425 🌟Love and appreciation is the way.🌟⁠ ⁠ Okay, I'm the first to admit: when you're feeling shitty, love and appreciation are probably the last things on your mind. If anything, you're probably thinking, "no one loves or appreciates ME." 💁⁠ ⁠ But when you're feeling awful, look around. What can you appreciate? What (or who) do you love? 💗⁠ ⁠ If you STILL find yourself having thoughts like, "who cares, everything sucks anyway," try taking things away. If you didn't have the couch or chair you're sitting on, how would you feel? If you had no phone? If the power goes out? If you couldn't reach for your pet? If you couldn't reach at all? 💔⁠ ⁠ In the manifestation and self-help community, there's a lot of talk to make sure you don't put your focus on what you don't want. And, for the most part, I agree - it's *usually* better to focus on what you want.🔮⁠ ⁠ But sometimes, you won't change until things get so uncomfortable that you HAVE to change. Sometimes, we don't realize what we've got until it's gone.😞⁠ ⁠ Sometimes, we feel so bad that we don't "see" the good. But I promise you, it's there. And if you start looking for it, you'll start to notice the many, many things you have going for you in a given moment. And you will - perhaps slowly, but inevitably - begin to feel better.☺️⁠ ⁠ This picture is me appreciating my lovely cat, Iroh, who kept me company when I was feeling all sorts of bad. Love this guy. 😻⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #love #appreciation #gratitude #cat #orangecat #Iroh #selflove #selfworth #selfcare #pets #createyourlife #loveyourlife
Instagram post 2120097739493841711_13534967425 "Realize that what you DO is not who you ARE. Everyone makes mistakes, so don't get confused and tangle them up with your self-worth." - Gala Darling, "Radical Self-Love" 💖⁠ ⁠ I might go into details at another time, but today I'm just feeling so RAW. Seeing all of my mistakes, and feeling completely shitty because of them. I kept asking myself, "why am I such a fuck-up?!"⁠ ⁠ I needed a pick-me-up so I grabbed @galadarling 's book, and this entry, in particular, brought me a lot of peace. I'm grateful for finding something to soothe my soul and help me feel a little bit better about myself. Help me raise my vibe just the littlest bit.⁠ ⁠ I sense that I'm still processing a lot of...something. But I'm listening to myself, I have my journal nearby, and I'm ready to really feel my feelings AND LEARN FROM THEM.⁠ ⁠ It'll probably be a little (or very) messy, but I know that it's going to be worth it. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #rslbook #galadarling #radicalselflove #feelthefeels #selfimprovement #selfworth #everyonemakesmistakes #journaling #selflove
Instagram post 2119445097350988883_13534967425 ✨Magic Mondays!✨ Tarot for the week of August 26th, 2019. This week, we drew The Magician, the Ten of Coins, and the Seven of Swords. This week, we're being reminded that we have everything we need to create that which we most desire in this world and that we live in an abundant world...but we are also warned that some risk may be involved.⁠ ⁠ The Magician is one of my favorite cards in tarot! He reminds us that we have everything we need to create the lives we want to live - notice how he wields all four suits of the tarot? To make magic requires some level of talent and skill, but it also requires faith in the unknown. Trust in your dreams, put your heart into your efforts, and you will have no trouble bringing your idea to life!⁠ ⁠ The Ten of Coins is a sign of stability, of abundance, and of prosperity. You've completed a journey to get here, and it's time to enjoy it! At the same time, reflect on how you made it here and be grateful for all you have around you. Remember: abundance comes in more forms than just money, and the more you appreciate all the forms of abundance in your life, the more you will receive all forms of abundance.⁠ ⁠ The Seven of Swords is an interesting card, as it denotes a risky endeavor. Whether this is an act of bravery or an act of dishonesty, only you will know for sure. However, in the presence of these other two cards with a more optimistic meaning, I'm inclined to think that we're being asked to be brave this week. Something will come up, tense and unexpected, and you might need to grab the swords by the blades. However, if you take care to act with integrity, you'll make it through the situation mostly unscathed.⁠ .⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #magicmondays #monday #mondaymotivation #mondaymood #tarot #tarotcards #tarotreading #tarotspread #weeklyspread #fountaintarot #taroteverydamnday #tarotreader #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotreadersofig #intuition #seizetheday⁠ #highvibes #goodvibes #spiritual #spirituality #mindfulness #intuition #tarotlove⁠
Instagram post 2114972523660645604_13534967425 💫Feeling good, grateful, and optimistic is NOT an easy practice, but it IS an important one.🔥 What are you grateful for today? The small things count too!⁠ ⁠ Today I found myself feeling scared, worried, and guilty. I have new opportunities to make money, and I found my first thoughts were, "okay this is good, but how the hell am I gonna get enough money for ALL THESE THINGS" instead of feeling GRATEFUL for the money I had coming to me. I actually stopped what I was doing until I remembered what a blessing I had in front of me. 🌸⁠ ⁠ I feel like it's so easy for us as humans to swing to either extreme: either we feel our lives are good, or we feel like nothing is going right. And many times, it's too easy to just assume if things are okay now, it's just a matter of time before something goes wrong. So we dismiss our good fortune. Instead of enjoying it, we kinda begrudge its existence because we feel it won't last. It's not enough, we want MORE. 💁⁠ ⁠ The truth is, no matter what we do, life WILL have its ups and downs. Even those who appear to be "positive vibes only!!!" all the time have their moments, trust me! But, we do not have to allow our fears to diminish the joys in life. It can be difficult to redirect our thoughts to the positive, to be optimistic and grateful, but we miss out on so much if we don't try! 🌉⁠ ⁠ Please don't misunderstand me: I think all of our emotions (good and bad) are important, but there's also a difference between "feeling the feels" to process them and just lingering on them. 🧘‍♀️⁠ ⁠ Be grateful for what you have. Stop and appreciate everything as often as you can, no matter how small. There's a reason gratitude is a PRACTICE - it takes effort to be consistent with it! But like drinking more water each day, exercise, meditation, or other beneficial practices, it's so so worth it when you put your best effort into it! 💖⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #meditation #gratitude #optimism #nature #bridge #sky #sunset #highvibe #practice #feelgood #feelthefeels⁠ ⁠
Instagram post 2114126847159877854_13534967425 ✨Magic Mondays!✨ Tarot for the week of August 19th, 2019. This week, we drew the Eight of Wands (reversed), the Six of Wands (reversed) and the Eight of Coins. This week, we're being asked to reconsider what direction we're heading in and what we let ourselves be known for because we're ready to fully embody what we're truly passionate about!⁠ 🌠The Eight of Wands reversed is a sign that there is some kind of energy block present. There could be delays in a situation that had appeared to be reaching its conclusion, or it could be a feeling of lethargy, lack of interest, or feeling unsure. It could be that seeing what you've been working on be SO CLOSE to completion, you doubt if this is what you really want after all. 🔥The Six of Wands reversed takes this further. You could feel afraid of being recognized for your work, or you may feel that you are receiving undeserved or misguided praise. It can also be a sign of betrayal or being disloyal. Together with the Eight of Wands reversed, it seems that lately whatever it is that people admire about you is causing you to question whether or not that's what you want to be known for. 🎨The Eight of Coins, however, tells us that not all is lost! While the other two cards have us questioning ourselves and our work, the Eight of Coins is a sign of mastery or approaching mastery. This card is very much about doing good work for the pride of it - it doesn't matter what others think, but you are putting in your best effort because this is your PASSION and it is important to you. ⚡The cards this week remind us about the importance of doing work that matters to us. If we're not doing what our soul is calling out for, we will feel unhappy no matter the outcome of our hard work. Consider what's making you feel uncomfortable right now in your life's work, and about how you can focus more on your passions. When we recognize what doesn't fulfill us, it's much much easier to say "yes" to doing the work that does. . . . . . . . #magicmondays #monday #mondaymotivation #tarot #tarotreading #tarotspread #weeklyspread #fountaintarot #taroteverydamnday #tarotreadersofig #intuition⁠ #spiritual #spirituality #mindfulness #soulwork
Instagram post 2113419677791580997_13534967425 🌟You don't need to know exactly how, but you must be absolutely clear on WHY.🌟 Tell me below, what are the reasons WHY you're going after your dreams?⁠ ⁠ What are the reasons WHY you want to achieve your dreams? How will it make you feel? How will it help others? What will you be able to do when you achieve your goals? 🌠⁠ ⁠ You can always figure out the "how" as you go - if you want to start a business and you know nothing about it, it can feel like a daunting undertaking! But you can always learn enough "how" to begin (thank you, internet!), and as you get going, you'll find more and more resources as you need them. 📚⁠ ⁠ The "why" will be what motivates you, what keeps you going. If your "why" isn't strong, that's a sign that you might want to take some time to yourself and figure out what dreams make you excited and speak to your soul! If your why is to help others while fulfilling your dreams, if your why makes you feel like saying, "Hell yeah!" you're on the right path!🤩⁠ ⁠ Get clear on your WHY and then just get started, in whatever way you can. You'll feel better each time you take a step towards your dreams, no matter how small that step may be! 💖⁠ ⁠ Let me know your reasons why in the comments! 👇 I'll start! 🙋⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #quotes #inspirationalquotes #followyourheart #followyourdreams #intuitive #personaldevelopment #selfimprovement #goals #dreams #soulwork #knowyourwhy #thehowwillfollow

Instagram post 2111139917053504123_13534967425 ✨Celebrate your growth!✨⁠ ⁠ Sometimes, it's all too easy to get caught up in what we "should" be doing, or thinking about how far we have to go to reach our dream life. 🏃‍♀️⁠ ⁠ As important as I think it is that we never stop growing, never stop trying to better ourselves, I think it's JUST as important to recognize how far you've already made it. Really appreciate everything you've tried, everything you've put effort into! 🎉 Because really, if all we do is work hard without stopping to acknowledge what we've accomplished, what's the point of the work in the first place?!⁠ ⁠ Even if you're not exactly where you want to be, celebrate yourself and your experiences anyway! You've learned so much and come so far, and that deserves recognition! 🎆⁠ ⁠ Let me know, what are you celebrating? 🎊⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #mindfulness #celebration #positivethinking #positivethoughts #goodvibes #plants #succulents

Instagram post 2109955680366288708_13534967425 ✨What stories do you believe about yourself? How can you retell them so that they empower you?✨ I really love the idea that we can change and empower ourselves SO MUCH simply by changing the stories we tell ourselves.⁠ ⁠ For example, do you tell yourself that you're incapable of achieving your dream because in the past you never stuck with anything long enough to reach the end goal? Is there a pattern in your past that keeps repeating, so you've resigned yourself to thinking things will ALWAYS go that way in the future?⁠ ⁠ Or maybe there was a shitty relationship you went through. Do you beat yourself up for all that time wasted? Can you focus on the sweet parts of it? Or at least see how it helped you grow?⁠ ⁠ If you want to be a successful <insert dream job title here>, can you start talking to yourself as if you already ARE that role? It's not about "faking it," but when you achieve that role you will act a certain way. How can you act like that person now and close the gap between your dreams and your reality?⁠ ⁠ I'd love to hear about what stories of yours you're going to "edit"! Share them below! 💖⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #inspirationalquotes #motivation #stories #empoweryourself #actasif
Instagram post 2108918791685857556_13534967425 ✨Magic Mondays!✨ Tarot for the week of August 12th, 2019. This week, we drew the Five of Cups, the Eight of Swords (reversed) and The Fool. This week, we might be experiencing some regret or loss, but we're bigger than our fear, and so free to set out on a new adventure!⁠ ⁠ ⭐The Five of Cups tells us that we have experienced some loss, disappointment, or regret. The grief is real, but you must realize you have not lost everything - just as the figure in the Five of Cups still has two cups standing, you still have much in your life to cherish! Feel what discomfort you feel so you can learn and move beyond it.⁠ ⁠ ⭐The Eight of Swords usually signifies blind fear - the kind of self-induced panic and sense that the situation is impossible. This card in the reversed position tells us that we realize the truth: with our eyes open, we see that our biggest danger is merely the fear itself. We have the power it takes to overcome whatever obstacles are in front of us, have faith in yourself. What you believe holds you down doesn't exist!⁠ ⁠ ⭐The Fool signifies innocence and having an open, beginner's mind. There's an eager, childlike excitement for what lies ahead! The Fool signifies a new journey or a fresh start. Be open to looking past the norm of your day-to-day. This is a time of self-discovery, so don't hold yourself to standards you may have outgrown. ⁠ ⁠ This week, make sure to process any feelings of loss, grief, or disappointment. You're stronger than you think, so don't let fear keep you down. You're ready for a fresh start, get excited for what lies ahead! 🎉⁠ ⁠ What new adventures are you up to this week?
