"Let me in the game coach! Let me a 'em, let me at 'em!!"
I really liked working with this card. The energy was jovial and playful with a heavy dose of "just do it-ness" with no attachment to a result. All the focus is on taking the action. What kept coming to my mind was the image of a high performing athlete
Purely focused on playing their game, striving to reach higher levels of performance. -
I've made the connection between the work we are doing and my dreams, the ways in which the effects are reflected in dreaming are simply amazing!
