Think, “Fuck it!” All work and no play is no good for anyone. For the right balance, completely let go once in a while. They give you a sense of morality and discipline. In your subconscious, you keep norms and values once planted by either yourself or your surroundings. This is an excellent day to celebrate life, leave your restrictions and rules behind. (Winter blues, amiright?) Silverstein said she hadn’t had a client pull that particular card in two years, which made us both excited to read its description: I pulled the “Party Time” card, which came as a surprise to me - I didn’t feel super celebratory all throughout February. “Sometimes we all need a little nudge from the universe that we are headed in the right direction or simply that things are okay,” Silverstein told me. She has clients do this before diving into their unique aura readings to provide a moment of pause, reflection, and joy. (Silverstein uses an Instax.) About five seconds later, out came a Polaroid!Īs we waited for the image to develop, Silverstein had me select an oracle card from one of Inner Compass’s daily guidance decks.
