Are you taking your vitamins?

I think now more than ever people need to be reminded to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing.
I strongly believe in free will, and I am not a fan of mandatory Covid-vaccination. I work as a scientist in my 9 – 5 job, part of my job is to question theories and read scientific papers.

Anyway, I’m also a Sagittarius, so good luck telling me what to do. During the past ten months, I have gone through my vitamin box to make sure I get what my body (and mind) needs. I found that’s mainly been fine-tuning and adding stuff.
I do my vitamins in the morning and the minerals about two hours before bedtime. I also rotate what I take after advice from the homoeopath I used to see.
One of the things I noticed is that not everything works for me the way “it’s supposed to”. My body has always responded quickly regarding what I eat or the exercise I do, so I notice what works and what doesn’t. But tweaking is learning, and even though it can be frustrating at times, it’s fun and interesting.

Today my morning dose consisted of two different multivitamin and mineral pills, a B-complex, two vitamin D and a red clover pill (because of menopause).

I drank it down with four grams of Myo-inositol in a glass of water and 15 ml of high strength Pomegranate concentrate with a second glass of water.

Tonight I will take two iron pills, two magnesium tablets, two zink and one chrome pill and one Hyaluoron capsule.

I am always interested in other peoples experiences with added vitamins and minerals, and if you have any suggestions for me, I am all ears.

Quick tarot

This deck has not been out for a while, and boy, was it jumpy! I wanted to do a quick and short spread “here and now for the collective”.

It sure delivered.

First card: Current situation – Death. 

Second card: Current mood – the Tower. 

Third card: Action that’s tempting to avoid – Ace of wands. 

Fourth card: Good thing to do – Nine of swords.

Well, yes, society is changing, old cycles are ending and new cycles are starting like never before. I also agree that people are in a bit of turmoil and annoyance with what’s going on. 

Especially around Covid, vaccines, masks and so on. There are plenty of voices making themselves heard around the world. 

I did ask for clarification for the last two cards. With the 10 of Cups, 9 of Wands and King of Wands, I got the message of fear of failure. 

With the High Priestess, 2 of Pentacles, 8 of Swords and Ace of Pentacles, I got the message to step back and cut out the noise to find balance for a new solid start. 

At least in my mind, it makes perfect sense. 

The tarot deck I used is called The Housewives Tarot.

About Catarina

I kept a diary for most of my life, I got my very first one for Christmas when I was seven years old. I first started blogging on a Swedish platform back in 2006, my kids were young and it was mainly family stuff. I gave it up around 2012, mainly because my life had changed and I didn’t have time to produce readable content.

I had a brief stint in 2016 but for all the wrong reasons.

So, third time is a charm or how does the saying go? This is me and my life journey right now. My beautiful boys has grown up to fantastic young men, and I have a new, and pretty fantastic, freedom to live my life just as I want it. This will be reflected in this blog. I hope to see you around and please don’t be too shy to drop a comment.
