Eight Of Air

What a terrific and inspiration card!

Doreen Virtue says, "Believe in yourself and keep your thoughts positive right now." That's good advice for any time, but especially right now!

This card offers hope. If you're not happy in your present situation (relationship, job, etc.), please know that it doesn't always have to be this way. This isn't forever, it's just your temporary condition today. And you aren't trapped. It doesn't have to be this way for much longer.

Sometimes, we get overwhelmed when we're in a situation that we don't like. This prevents us from seeing a way out, and we start to feel that this is just how it will always be.

The key to freeing yourself is to simply step back, and try and view the whole picture, rather than your small part of it. 

Make yourself a list of possible ways to change or leave this situation. Make it as exhaustive as you can. Even beginning this process will help you to feel more in control.

Once you have this list, begin to expand each possibility with what you think will happen next.

For example, if you're unhappy in your job, the first step might be to simply start looking for something new. Where would you look? There are plenty of job sources out there, as well as your own personal network of friends and family.

So what happens next?

Think about that and go on to the next step, and the one after. Plan it all out, and soon you will have a roadmap to success.

I once felt trapped in an abusive relationship. And then I started to think about what I needed to do to get out. I found family and friends who loved me, and with their encouragement, love and support, I began making moves until I was where I wanted to be.

It's not always easy. But it's important to remember that you are not alone. Even if you feel that you don't have friends or family that you can talk to, you always have your guides and angels. And you are loved and supported more than you can imagine!
