A Difficult Conversation or Task ~ A Message From the Universe

Tarot-based spiritual and practical guidance for the week ahead, or whenever you happen to see this 🙂

Today’s Message From the Universe advises you not to keep putting off that difficult conversation or task.

You may have to have a difficult conversation, set boundaries, or even cut someone from your life, or you may just need to get to a task you’ve been dreading. Either way, if you don’t do it, the Universe may just take care of it for you. That might even sound kind of nice, but it will make the fallout so much more difficult than if you take care of it yourself in a timely manner.

This unfinished business doesn’t just make people or circumstances more difficult to deal with.

It takes up a lot of space in your brain and is likely causing more anxiety than necessary. It makes your ability to focus on other things more difficult as well, and it’s only going to get more difficult the longer you wait.

Rip that bandaid off, nice and quick, before you talk yourself out of it again. No matter the outcome, it’s always better to know that outcome than it is to allow your brain to make up disastrous scenarios in anticipation of the thing. It’s like being stuck in a stressful limbo!

There is also a message here regarding over-researching something.

You may need to learn about or plan something, but don’t get stuck there. Give yourself some boundaries, such as how much time you will allow yourself to research and plan. Set timers, isolate the most important questions you need to answer, and keep redirecting your focus when you catch yourself wandering. Focus is a skill that gets better with practice.

However this energy shows up for you, what you need is hinged entirely on your own actions.

That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to do it on your own, though. Recruit a little help if you can, and don’t underestimate your ability to trick your own brain into doing what needs doing. The 5-minute rule is a great example of how to trick your brain into lessening some of your resistance.
