Eight of Swords - Reversed…

We're constantly bombarded with information—emails, texts, news updates, social media posts. Everywhere we turn, someone is sharing their opinion, encouraged by the platforms that give them a voice. As we take in this steady stream of perspectives—some helpful, others harmful—it’s easy to let these outside voices shape how we think about ourselves and the world. But remember: your mind is only a prison if you allow it to be.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the negativity and noise, maybe it’s time to put up your umbrella. Step back. Unplug. Give yourself permission not to engage. You have the right to protect your peace. Don’t let external voices become internal limitations. You deserve the freedom to think clearly and kindly—especially toward yourself.

"You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you."— Dan Millman
