I personally enjoy taking long walks. It doesn't matter if it's in the woods, on a bike trail, or just through town. There's something nice about just meandering and being alone with your thoughts while still being immersed in the outside world.

I do some breathing exercises using a colorful blob on the screen and do some journaling. I also do tarot readings to assess my energies for the day and to ground myself better since I'm an anxious person. I guess I should really get back into it because I'm getting really antsy these days

    How does tarot reading actually work? Can you explain a little the process? Is it hard to learn?

    Sorry for the late reply I've been stuck in a reddit binge before Apollo dies. Anyway, every tarot practitioner views it differently. For me, it's a way to connect with myself and the energies around me. It's very grounding since it's just another tool for me to assess my actions and possible outcomes. It's not something that predicts your future per se. I avoid personal bias by evaluating whether the reading resonates with what I feel and what is objectively happening around me.

    In a nutshell, it's a bunch of cards (78 cards) with different symbolisms and meanings. Pull as many as you need, interpret it based on the basic symbolisms and key words on your guide. Decide whether it resonates or not. Do it again as you please. It's hard at first since there are a lot of cards but it just takes some practice to get better as with any other thing. Sometimes it takes me weeks before I grab my cards again, sometimes I need it on the daily.
