Four of Swords

Artist: Sarah Carlson

The Four of Swords is a relaxing mindfulness meditation. It reminds us to take a moment, let ourselves heal from our previous battles, and prepare ourselves for upcoming struggles. Instead of dwelling on the past or anxiously awaiting the future, be in the moment. Take time for yourself. Restore your mind, body, and spirit. Find peace in your search for stability. Find peace in the chaos created. Take a step back to let yourself heal, and you will go further in the long run. Ducks embrace flexibility, adapt to challenges, and find balance within the situation. We battle with classes as we transition from books to technology and have to navigate through changes in our world. The Four of Swords tells us to embrace these changes and take time to restore ourselves through this changing and challenging world. As you navigate the challenges of college, take time for self-care after a challenging moment. Prepare yourself for the next hardship by taking a step back for relaxation.
