Break your bad habits and change your self-limiting attitude this week, Gem, and you'll feel so much lighter and brighter. The Eight of Swords shows that you’re in a mental spiral, torturing yourself with by dwelling on worst-case scenarios. It’s a pointless and draining activity. Do whatever you have to do to make it stop. Write down your thoughts so you don’t have to carry them in your head. Distract yourself with something absorbing. Try a meditation app. Do whatever it takes to give your brain a break.
