Tarot is for everything. Today I am using it to help me stay on track with my eating plan. The first card answers the question, What will be my biggest block to staying on my eating plan today? Mother of Pentacles- this is a big one for me, being the card I most often identify as myself. I am an emotional eater, letting food be my comforter, my distraction, my escape, everything. The emotional eating is an integral part of who I am. I know this needs to change, but wow is it hard. I struggle with feelings of unworthiness and I often feel selfish in taking the time and money to prepare my food for myself. There is also a shadow side to the Queen of Pentacles reflecting laziness and complacency, both of which I definitely revert to whenever I relax. My second card, The Hermit, is the answer to how I overcome this block. I need to be patient with myself, understanding this is a lifelong journey towards wisdom, an even greater gift than the release from emotional eating. I need to be still and sit with my feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and understand that being uncomfortable is okay. It won’t kill me. If I wait long enough the feelings may lead me to deeper understanding, but if I act immediately to alleviate them I may miss the opportunity.
