Sovalis Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 Hi Friends!! If you have been with me for a while you know that I have a consistent Tarot practice. Lately it seems like I am *constantly* pulling the Chariot card, or in my Herbcrafter deck, Cedar, which is that deck’s “Chariot” card. It’s been a whole thing, believe me. So it seems super appropriate to dedicate this challenge to them and see where it takes me. The cards in question: From the D&D deck: The Chariot is concerned with following through on your intentions and manifesting your desires. Themes of journeying, navigation, success, willpower, action, control, and determination. The D&D card has both a Gynosphinx and an Androsphinx on the card, pulling the chariot. I read that as the necessity to balance gender, and on a personal note, my place journeying in that liminal space between manhood and womanhood as I try to consciously shape my body to fit my gender neutral self-conception. It might be more simply read as having control over unruly, unpredictable, wild, or difficult things. From the Herbcrafter’s Tarot: Cedar is a sacred ingredient, especially when used for the creation of vessels and canoes. Cedar calls us to move forward with confidence in a disciplined yet flexible way, embodying the journey. Cedar teaches that the deep journey is what results in the mastery, not the arrival. It encourages us to have faith in our experience and to trust the process, to lean on deep wisdom to forge a new path. Chariot is a warrior card traditionally: the charioteer is wearing armor in most card art and is usually decorated with squares representing the strength of will and alchemical symbols for spiritual transformation. I will be finding ways to channel the determination and resolve of the Chariot balanced by the gentle, rooted steadfastness of Cedar. I am particularly interested in the idea of a body as a sacred vessel. I haven’t come around to that thought in a long, long time, and certainly never from a place where I thought I was a worthy vessel of anything. I think this could be very productive for me. Intentions for this challenge: 1) Eat more plants. Low bar: one per day. 2) Lift every day, small or large. I was enjoying this last challenge as long as I wasn’t in pain, so I’d like to keep it going. 3) Make wise decisions about food - “Food that loves you back” as Harriet said. 4) Cook 2-4 times a week. 5) Focus on getting my three cups of water a day. Desires for this challenge: 1) Continued fat loss. 2) Increased strength and physical literacy. 3) Deeper, mindful relationship with food. Possibly offering thanks before eating? 4) Renewed relationship with heavy lifting and spending time in a gym setting. Bujo chart at the start of things: I hope that if you are resting in Zero Week it is high quality recuperation and gentleness. If you are ready to challenge right away, may your verve and enthusiasm last the entirety of what lays ahead! Thank you so much for being here. ❤️ 17 1 Quote Past Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16 Current Challenge: #17 “Finish each day and be done with it.

Sea-to-sky Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 another excellent bujo page. I always love how you edge them with a coloured marker. My pages aren't really big enough for this but when i get a slightly bigger book i am definitely going to try it. “Food that love you back” is definitely a good thought and something i need to focus on more. Many of My comfort foods do not fall into this category right now, which is surely a good impetus to find replacements. Eating stuff that makes you feel better, not worse, when you’re under the weather is probably a smart move going forward. I love how you do the tarot theming. Its actually inspired me to pull a few tarot cards after not touching them about 20 years. Sadly the deck i have is from another life, and the art really doesn't speak me at all any more (thus why i haven't posted any). Need to replace it at some point. That herbcrafter deck is really cool. Lovely imagery. 4 1 Quote the creative spelling comes as standard. Enjoy!

I know you will take the time it takes to make a natural transition, but I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for your pages and progress. ❤️ Harriet saying that was really profound for me. Work has a lot of baking and other gluten options that are easy grabs and the self-restraint to turn them down is definitely something I am developing but it’s slow going. It would be easier if I got a sick stomach or something otherwise immediate, but the joint pain just builds up over a couple of days, so slowly that I usually just acclimate until it gets to be too much to ignore. Not ideal for deterrent. I am glad you like the Tarot theming. I am a little self conscious about it because there are a lot of people with Christian Bible verses in their signature lines and I don’t want to offend anyone, but I think I am bringing it forward in a respectful way? I may be over thinking that. I am prone to overthinking. The Herbcrafter deck is stunning. One of my favourite decks for sure, and it was a total impulse buy. I didn’t even see the inside of the box before I picked it up. Absolutely the Universe calling. That hasn’t happened too often for me. 2 hours ago, Everstorm said: Following! Hi Ever!

Had a bit of a weird night last night, was up from 2:20-3:30 for no discernible reason. But Dave got up then too, so we played video games together for a while before I went back to bed. I slept well after that (he didn’t come back to bed) and slept in until 8 to make up the lost time. That has compressed my morning somewhat, but it was worth it to not feel off kilter. This morning I pulled Eight of Earth, Turmeric, yet *again* and I am thinking I need to add that card to the challenge. Its dominant theme is letting what you are doing become embodied prayer and that feel so appropriate for these ideas of body as a sacred vessel, ritual/spiritual/thoughtful lifting, etc. Definitely something to keep in mind. I find I am a little shy to do my lifts in the morning now that Dave is in his chair. This seems so silly because we lift together when we go to the gym, so it’s nothing he hasn’t already been exposed to. I hope that you have a moment of embodied prayer today. Isn’t that such an evocative phrase? 😍 Thanks for being here. ❤️ 12 Quote Past Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16 Current Challenge: #17 “Finish each day and be done with it.

I am very open and welcoming (if I say something or share something that is offensive, I apologize and please tell me so I don't repeat it. I want nothing but love and support in this sacred space of the interwebs) but it's so easy to be concerned that you're making others feel uncomfortable or upset. I figure if I keep things to my own little page, then I should be okay - I cannot and absolutely will not force anyone to visit my little area if it's not something they're okay with. I do think you're going about it in a very gentle way and I absolutely love it! Continue to share and I will continue to visit, support, and love you ❤️ Solidarity - I feel much the same about the Man and doing things in front of him in that manner. I don't know why, but in the gym, it's fine. At home, nope, don't look at me. It's weird, but you are not alone in this. 5 1 Quote You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before. Do that every day and you will succeed. Link to comment

It is most definitely as sign. Hi Friends, I am not going to reply to everyone’s supportive comments on this post because it’s a lot, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for your assurance and care. I really appreciate the overwhelming sense of community and support and I am once again delighted and affirmed by the level of compassion in our community, ❤️❤️❤️ The anxiety ball in me also really appreciated being told in no uncertain terms that I wasn’t doing anything wrong. *lol* I have today off work today. I took a three day weekend so that hopefully Dave and I can spend some quality time together now that he is more awake than he was at the beginning of the week. I am happy to be off. Today will involve a lot of game prep for tonight but Dave wants to play video games all day so I am not neglecting him. I am quite excited about game tonight (The Drakkin “Baby” is going to be born!) and looking forward to making it memorable. I went and did another InBody scan this morning after significantly reducing my wheat consumption since Monday. I am *very* pleased to report that my inflammation numbers went from the highest they had ever been to the second lowest! I am so very excited about this. It also didn’t hurt that my weight went from 268.0 to 263.5 which was of course all water, but yay for that anyway. My fingers feel less stiff and sore and all of the rest of my joints feel better. Dave said I am moving better as well, which is great. I don’t notice when my movement goes off, but it makes sense given that my joints are all gross. I am very grateful for the InBody scan giving such discreet information; I would have no idea what I needed to change if I were relying solely on a gravity scale just saying the weight is going up. I am going to keep wheat for special occasion foods and avoid it in the day to day. Kind of the 80/20 rule, except maybe more strict. 90/10? 95/5? We will see how it plays out. I can keep an eye on the inflammation with the readouts, but I usually only go at the start of every challenge, so every six weeks. I will have to become more sensitive to body cues if I don’t want to be going more often than that. The trouble is that it generally takes a fair amount of exposure before I start to notice the pain, although I am sure the inflammation is quietly doing its thing even when I don’t notice it. Oh bodies. I hope that you are feeling right and tight in your body today and that you have ease of movement and satisfying thoughts.
