4 of Speculation- Fool’s Path Tarot

4 of Swords Tarot Card: Give your brain a rest

Have you been thinking too much lately? Has life simply been one thing after another that demands your attention, or causes your thoughts to kick into overdrive with such things as “I can’t wait until this is all over” or “What is wrong with these people?!?” This is normal enough, and we all do it, and eventually in the midst of it we realize, “Wow, I’m feeling stressed out.” This maybe the case today. You may have hit that point where you realize the situation is unchangeable, but your attitude towards it certainly is. Do your best to turn it around.

Instead of feeling attacked by the situation, look at the reality that it will not go on forever. See the end point of it. Remind yourself it will be over eventually. What else can you put your thoughts on? What hobbies, dreams, and ambitions can you visualize and daydream about to make the time better for you?

You really do need to give your brain a rest. Too much negative thoughts about any situation will only beget more and more to find fault with. Before you know it, you are having a breakdown. Why put yourself through that? The message of the 4 of Swords for today is to just relax. Don’t get lost in the negative. Give yourself a break from what is bothering you and find something positive to look forward to. Give it a try. It will make you feel better.
