Daily card draws

[mu]

A year or so ago, I started doing daily card draws to get more comfortable with the tarot. Before getting ready in the morning, I shuffle my deck, draw a card, and look up its meaning. Throughout the day I try to focus on that particular card and look for its influence. For example, if I draw the 4 of Cups (which has been coming up for me a lot lately), I try to be a bit more social at work to counteract my tendency to withdraw. I keep track of what cards I draw and sometimes when I look back, I can see trends in the cards corresponding to what was happening in my life.

Do you read for yourself on a regular basis? What spreads do you use?

I do this too but in the morning with a variety of different cards (sometimes one of my I Ching decks). I find that the image (or reading) helps me bring a kind of focus to my day. I also try to keep a journal (but it's not a habit unfortunately).
