Procrastination – A self-made monster

Do you know this insidious monster that haunts you every time you’re not aware of? I’m sure it was after you too. Maybe it was attractive and lured you into things you love, like scrolling through your Instagram feed or watching your favorite YouTube videos. Maybe it glued you to the recent intriguing book you got or to the phone chit chatting with a friend. 

Oh, I know its tricks all too well by myself and I confess I gave in too many times. But now I’m fighting my way out of this trickster’s claws and bringing about a rebound.  

Ok, let’s be real. It’s quite comfortable creating an image like this in one’s mind and often it’s absolutely necessary to be able to identify where certain stagnations are coming from. But knowing and doing something about it are two very different animals, so I started actively working on this issue that I’m having an unhealthy relationship with on and off in my life. I guess deep down inside I always wondered where this is coming from, but now I’m coming to a point where I have to face it and do something about it. Especially now where my heart centered business is within my grasp.

Adressing this issue in Tarot readings seemed a good way for me getting to the bones of the matter. So I researched Tarot spreads and found this one created by Beth Maiden from Little Red Tarot. It's called 'Finding your Mojo' and is simple and helpful kick ass spread to get unstuck.

Although it really was a kick right up the ass with some pretty amazing cards showing up, I searched for more. And while I was listening to exclusive video content by Kelly-AnnMaddox where she addressed a similar issue, it triggered something and it almost felt like an afflatus. I grabbed a pen and started to sketch a spread. It came very naturally to me and I’m happy to share it with all of you who are fighting procrastination in their lives and wonder about their part in this play and how to move on from that. Cut through all self-made obstacles with this faithful blade.
