Daily Practice

The beginning of the week went well. The two readings, the Ace of Swords and the 6 of Spears at the beginning of the week were pretty standard. My mind wandered a little, but not too badly. I think too, now that I look at all the cards together, you can tell by how much time I spend on the drawing, and how neat my hand writing is. Interestingly enough, the 6 of Shields, the next day's reading, not only has poor penmanship and a quick drawing, but unlike *all* the rest, I didn't even underline the title. I remember having difficulty doing that reading because it was Wednesday and I had a lot of appointments to go to that I normally didn't have to do and I did it earlier in the day instead of waiting to do it at night. Not only could I not focus, but I did it much too quickly.

The last three days were better, because by the time my ComDesign class is over with for the week, I am much more relaxed and find it easier to focus. The 5 of Shields was done on Friday, and is sloppier because I did it at night after I had been out with my friends and I wanted to go to bed. Because I was still wound up from being out, I found it harder to focus. Plus, I was too tired, and it was harder to pull myself back to the present because my body was just giving up. The 6 of Shields and the 4 of Spears readings went smoothly. I did the first one in the morning, right after I had woken up so that my mind was clear and not stressed out yet. The second I did at night after I had been doing work. It was a quick reading, but I was focused.
