MBG: The Chakra-Balancing Routine That Helps Me Start Every Morning With A Clear Mind
I began experiencing anxiety in my late 20s and can still vividly remember the first time I had a panic attack in public: The accelerated heart rate, sweaty palms, and panicked thoughts alerted me that something was off. Anxiety takes many forms, and it’s been a long journey for me to understand how mine works.

I’ve written a lot about the Morrigan over the years – much of it at her direction. And I get questions about the Morrigan, especially from people who are just starting out.

Inner Journey:
REVIEW AND RECOMMIT
“Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
Just think: When we are driving, we know where we want to go and we plot out our route. When we plan and prepare a meal, we follow a recipe and monitor the food as it cooks.
How much attention do we give to planning the direction of our lives?
Taking the time to review our quality of life gives us a chance to re-evaluate what we are doing and where we want to go. It lets us fine-tune our direction, to ensure we are on track for what we most want.
Stop and think about your last 6 months. What did you learn? What would you like to do differently? Where do you want to recommit?
“Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.”
— A. A. Milne
“Always have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.”
— Chuck Knox

Very often when you just can’t decide between two or more options, It’s because the answer that would most give you peace is actually, “None of the above.”
But not always.

Excellence
“When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.”
-Helen Keller (1914)
Excellence is difficult to measure. In the Olympics there is a judging system of points and scores to compare the athlete’s performances. But when it comes to our day to day lives, excellence for each one of us is doing the best that we can do. We know when we’re slacking off. We know when we can do better. We’re the only ones who can make that judgment accurately. And when we do strive for excellence, when we put ourselves out there and really give it our all, we know it, we can feel it.
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: Justice
A past wrong against you might be set right today. It’s important that you give others a fair chance and don’t automatically discount what they have to say or offer. You don’t need to satisfy everyone but you do need to make the effort to let them have their say and their moment to contribute. Be confident and don’t feel threatened by anything.
