Psych yourself up with like-minded sidekicks, exploring the
symbols all around us—together.
We are all psychic whether we realize it or not. How much more fun would it be to explore the symbols all around us with each other as sidekicks? Or psychkicks?
My Cosmic Tractor Beam has sent me some new
coordinates! I’m starting a new feature, a weekly kick-start for mind and
spirit featuring an eclectic use of metaphysical tools. While I’m now retired
from one-on-one consultations, for many years my Inner Growth Work practice included
astrology, tarot, dreamwork and flower essences and any other tools that waved
hello and said, “Use me.” Combined with the Radical Virgo characteristic of
reducing cosmic downloads to their most helpful nuggets for growth and healing,
I’m hoping to start your week in a way that fires up your mind and psyche to
help kick off a good week from the get-go. Often the kick will the kind that
brings laughter. And you’re invited to comment or contribute. That’s what
psychkicks on the journey do.
Format
The usual post day will be Mondays except for the
launch post on June 21. Psych-Kicks© may ultimately move to more frequent
posts and its own domain.
What to Expect
Here’s a live demo! While writing this on June 2, I was
inspired draw an Angel Card for this
sample message. I got Efficiency.
After telling you my source, which could be anything from
astrology to other oracles or a recent synchronicity, I’ll go inward to consult
my intuition about what the universe wants to convey to us. Sometimes I’ll
share quotes or bits of others’ wisdom on the topic, too.
So here goes:
“Efficiency”
We all need a certain amount of efficiency to make our
lives work. Otherwise, we get distracted with side-trips that delay getting to
our goals—or even fall into time traps that use up minutes, hours, days or more
by “looking busy” even if only to ourselves. Those time traps are blocks of
living that you might want to put to better use: thinking things through, laughing,
playing or relaxing. Worse, time traps don’t help you get to where you’re
going.
True efficiency requires that you set aside time at least
every month to look at the big picture of your life. This living portrait of
your existence is dynamic, not set in stone. New data or new insights may shift
your focus, even your goal.
We are so easily fooled by short-term goals. We’re like
politicians only seeing an issue in the timeframe between now until the next
election. Think of the short-term goals as building blocks to the Big Picture.
But what if you haven’t sufficiently seen the structure and the possibilities
of the longer view? You might have an inkling of what you want somewhere inside
you, but if you haven’t sufficiently rolled around all the possible paths and
identified your true desires, you might just be building the wrong structure. Instead
of a seaside condo, you might wake up in the middle of a steel office building.
Or God backwards forbid, a dog house.
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. ~ Peter Drucker
Recently I struggled with hating to postpone a big
project. My whole body and being were telling me it wasn’t the right time. On
reflection I realized I was worrying more about others’ thinking I was crazy to
take so long to get to it—and that I was only seeing the advantages of doing
the project sooner than later. Several stumbling blocks to doing it more
immediately appeared to expose the faster track as foolhardy. Confirmation by
the universe helped me surrender to divine timing, and once I did, I could see
huge advantages in waiting.
My friend Janet said something really cool about my
struggle. She said a choice between good and bad is easy, but choices between
two good options are much harder. Thanks to learning over the years to read
cosmic signals, I had the eyes to see. I know for sure which of the two good
choices to pursue …
… unless or until my Big Picture Review shows me
otherwise.
What does pondering efficiency
do for you?
