Make Your Damn Bed

Keep an open mind and see if you can squeeze anything valuable out of the experience - you may be surprised at what you gain by doing so.How to set yourself up for a resounding TAROT session: 1. Get in an energetic alignment with the part of you that wants to gain insight from the reading. Even if its just a general reading - really take your time to breathe, get comfortable in the space and allow yourself to really buy into the experience for the time being. I have had readers that shuffle for me and some that allow me to shuffle my own read and I personally like to put my energetic alignment into the cards themselves. This helps me to connect with where I am and really get present by providing a tangible, grounding device. 2. Set your intention for the experience you want to have. What do you want to know? Again, even if it’s a general reading - set your intention on buying in and resonating with what you can and leaving behind what you can’t.3. Ask if you can have a moment to look at the cards without interruption for a moment and see if you have any unforeseen insights that arise by looking at the images that came up. I love how each tarot reader interprets in their own style but has the basic meanings of the cards that speak the same truth so I feel like going in with little preconceived notions about the cards at all and simply interpreting them earnestly without prejudice is a great way to kind of see or find out where you’re associating and protecting your own feelings into your own perspective of your issue or what have you. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

even barring the magic altogether - tarot is such a powerful tool for reflection, connection, inspiration, insight, and perspective. Throughout my life there have been certain people that just inspire the heck out of me and fill the hell out of my cup so that when were done hanging my creativity is piqued and my inspiration is sparked and I want to clean my space and write and live. But those people typically appear like lil glimmers in my life - we may live far away or I have people who inspire me sure, but the ones that give me the friendship super power energy - those may be too powerful for even me to be able to be nonstop interacting with - but who knows maybe one day I will meet my match. The point is - the way I felt after hearing my reading left me with that feeling of inspiration. I kinda put it in the same place in my head as treadmill legs - like you feel a little lighter and a little floatier but you know it’s all in your head. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

as always the case for me when it comes to Make your Damn Bed and basically ANY other content or human being that speaks to you ever - you should be generating your own informed opinions by looking at diverse and credible sources before communicating, or honestly even formulating, any opinions of your own, and I Julie Merica have not ever claimed to know what the hell I am talking about - so it’s all opinions.  Long story longer - It took me a long time to be fully comfortable when my cute lil witchy friends would talk about the moon or crystals and tarot. And now I am at the point where I have fully bought in. I truly adore interactions that I don’t find boring or tedious and people who buy into magic are not only not boring but some of my favorite kind of people because they haven’t given up hope like the rest of us negative nellies - and magic is beautiful and undeniable in certain capacities even if you believe in science there is stuff science cant explain and even still - I truly think science is just the magic we CAN explain - you may remember my airplane episode - I think nearly everything cool is literal magic but here we are. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.

On a recent episode of Queer Eye (Craw Zaddy) the client (Todd) said something that hit me hard: "ya know sometimes, it's too easy too exist and too hard to live." and as someone who as fully agreed with that statement at certain times in my life, I now believe it's a trap. The effort you put into LIVING will make life easier - which will in turn make it easier to exist altogether which you'll no longer want to simply do because you'll have tasted the sweet nectar of living. You’ll never regret showing up for yourself and if you’ve been busy just existing start slow life gets better when you choose to make it better unless you get real lucky. The reward system with effort is ten fold. ^^^Which is what I keep reminding myself over and over and over whenever I have a rough day/week/month like the one that is occurring for me currently as I realize I didn't save this episode properlly. Honestly, I am just overjoyed the majority of it did save. Tiny victories - and new (more specific and difficult) lessons learned. luh you, Off to bed. BYEEEE.

I've been vegetarian or vegan for the past 16 years so here are some of my go-to tips and tricks for increasing your plant intake and decreasing your consumption of meat. I would love to challenge you to do a meatless day every week or a meatless meal Monday or at least a mindful minute in which you search for more locally sourced products and research where your meat that you’re consuming actually comes from! It may surprise you.If you are vegetarian maybe try vegan one day or one meal a week. Tag me in your favorite vegan and vegetarian recipes and I can start sharing my favorites in my newsletter if you’re interested in that, lemme know.

We often let ourselves get swept up in other peoples problems as a way to avoid dealing with our own bullshit or sometimes just because it’s hard not to - like I said - energy is contagious as fuck and toxic energy is the most contagious of all. So we have to definitely be aware of that reality and get comfortable catching ourselves when we start sinking into the cycles that we don’t want to get into. This is why - I think - so many people harp on the importance of a healthy social group - because toxicity travels. It spreads. But so does positivity. When your friends are fired up about life and hyped about the day ahead - you’re far more likely to be psyched up too. If you have to spend every day picking your friends out of the slumps - and they don’t want to get out on their own - you’re more likely to join them in the slump than they are to escape it. You can absolutely bring other people up but they can bring you down twice as easily. So be conscious of your own place, your own energy, your own mindset, and how you’d like to experience a situation before you enter it so you can more effectively notice and catch whenever someone is dragging you into their mess. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bed.
