Build yourself a sustainable routine for 2024
you don’t have to schedule all your habits for everyday. Some habits can be for twice a week or thrice a week. If you can’t read 10 pages everyday, don’t fret. Try to read 1 chapter a week. Then slowly progress to 2.
do not be intimidated by accounts like mine. I post a lot of tips but I follow only the ones I know work for me, even if those tips are great. I share a lot so that different people can make use of them. Just because tip A works better for me than tip B, doesn’t mean that tip B is useless. Someone else could find B more useful than A.
here are some indicators:
⭐️ the habits are “portable” for the most part - you do not need to be in specific places to execute them (you can read anywhere, you can workout in any hotel, etc).
⭐️ you’re able to follow all your habits at least 80% of the time in a month. Which means out of 30 days, for 24 days you are able to follow your habits. ⭐️ they don’t stress you out. It doesn’t make sense to procrastinate over your habits. The point of the habits is to reduce procrastination and improve yourself. If you’re stressing over it, go back to square one and start small.
⭐️ you are able to see that you’re improving. Maybe you’re feeling more confident, self assured and resilient. Whatever your end goal, it is important to understand that you won’t go from being, for example, under confident to confident overnight. It will happen gradually. Noticing your progress and complimenting yourself for the gradual change is important because then you’re validating yourself for the healthy changes you make. When you validate yourself as opposed to someone else validating you, you are acknowledging the hard work you have put in- this increases your motivation to do even better and to stay disciplined.
⭐️ over time, the habits come to you naturally. Let’s say meditating. You become so used to meditating that not doing it is like not brushing your teeth in the morning. It becomes a part of you and you accept and embrace it instead of dreading it.
⭐️ yes, you will have tough days. You will have days where you want to give up. It is important to schedule at least 2 mental health days a month for yourself where you can choose to do absolutely nothing and just relax. You are human, not a machine. Sometimes you need to push through those tough days and get things done anyway. There is a balance between resting and working hard.
⭐️ you eventually do not feel guilt or shame for prioritising yourself and your routine first. This is the most important indicator. You do not put any boy, friend, anyone (unless it’s an emergency of course) above you. You know you are your most important person.

She out danced and out drank a stripper for simply looking at her the wrong way, and didn’t even flinch when being held at gunpoint by a mexican gang. She held her own in a shoot out against a professional assassin and once held down a hot air balloon with nothing but her arms and teeth. Michiko Malandro is loud and sassy and doesn’t take shit from anyone. This girl is my queen.

Hi, J! How do you "do" the channeled messages? I always was interested in the "process" behind the magic we see in your future spouse posts in general, but especially the channeled messages! They are so accurate and they touch our hearts so deep... It's alright if you don't feel like sharing or something, keep yourself healthy and happy! 😘💕
I’m really sorry for the late reply.
Disclaimer: I’m speaking from personal experience here, my experience might be different from other people’s.
I don't know how other people define it or do it, but I personally see it as if you are being spoken to. I don't do it the way psychics do it, not to the point of being 'taken by a spirit' or 'speaking with the dead', I'm still undecided about anything too spiritual since I'm a practical person.
Since I use tarot for it; from my experience it's similar to reading tarot cards, you are still reading the energies. The difference is it's a lot more flowy; you let it flow through you instead of being so analytical and structured about it (that’s why some sentences do not make any sense). Plus, you use the first person point of view.
The messages come in two forms:
The words/sentences come up by themselves. Eg. "I have so much of you in my heart". This one is easy, the reader just has to pass on the message.
The message comes in the form of feeling, energies, whatever you call it; Eg. your chest feels heavy and full when you are doing the reading, you pick up on a desire to break away. For this one, sometimes the words just appear but sometimes the reader has to find the words for it.
In a normal tarot reading you do about Person X, when you pick up on a desire to break away, you can simply say "X wants to break away from something, could be external control like a boss, religion, parents etc".
In a channeled reading, when you pick up on a desire to break away, you have to tune into it deeper to feel how Person X would describe it, how it might feel to them. This makes it exhausting.
I.e whoever you are trying to channel.
In one of my channeled readings; one person has an intense personality. I couldn't just write "I like you" because it felt wrong. It wasn’t enough. "I have an ocean in my soul and I want to drown you in it" felt better. The latter depicted the mix of intense emotions that came up in that reading.
In other words, the message is influenced by the entity's personality, so there is a lot more freedom to decide how you want to explain it in a normal tarot reading, than when you are doing a channeled reading.
1) Their personality does not match the topic
Let's say you want to do a sexual reading. Now, what kind of message can you get from a polite person if you ask them to talk about sex? What kind of message can you get from someone who does not talk dirty at all?
As a reader, I can see the images or scenes but I can’t find the words to describe it, no words will come out, because I can feel that the words I want to use do not match the personality of the person, so it feels wrong to say anything. But saying nothing means my querent will not get anything.
2) No message
Sometimes the person (whoever you are channeling) just does not want to talk about something. So in this case, I will get nothing. It feels like you hit a wall when you try to go deeper. The cards are there, you know the cards are supposed to represent something, but no info.
3) The reader does not have the words
For the messages that come in the form of feelings, sometimes I can't find the words to describe them. I can feel like there is a joke here, the teasing tone, etc but I might not be able to do it because I'm not funny (lmao) and I don't have the words. I can't just write "they like to make jokes".
Hence why when you look at channeled readings available online; some channeled readings sound right, but some sound a bit off. It's because the messages go through the reader's language skills (besides other factors I mentioned above). Channeled readings are hard to do to begin with, so I'm not looking down on anyone here, I’m in the same boat.
From my experience and observation, a channeled message is a mix of the entity's energy/words and the reader's language skills. It's a bit different from normal tarot readings, your freedom is a bit limited when you do channeled readings.
Important: The words I use in my channeled readings, may not all be the exact words the person uses when they speak, because I’m not them lol. But I do try to pick the words that have the closest meanings/nuances to their energy.
