You may need some solitude to do some inner self-recovery.

Your tarot for the day is the Hermit card.

The Hermit may not seem like an ideal card to see, but it is lovely to receive. It carries a message of inner self-healing and recovery of the mind—the Hermit is here to remind you to take care of yourself mentally, not just physically.

When the Hermit card appears, it's a sign that lately, you may have been feeling exhausted. Not in a physical way, though. More so mentally and emotionally exhausted. The Hermit reminds you that you need and deserve a break from all of life's stresses and extremes.

The Hermit card says that now is the time to retreat and take a moment of solitude for yourself to make a full recovery.

Taking a break for recovery

Life can sometimes be a crazy rollercoaster of emotions. When you're rapidly rushing from highs to lows, it could become very tiresome and leave you feeling mentally and emotionally drained.

The Hermit card indicates that you may have been on that crazy mental rollercoaster for quite some time now, and it's time to give yourself a break. Otherwise, you'll end up completely burning yourself out and be more prone to having mental and emotional breakdowns.

The Hermit card says that now is when you begin your recovery in solitude to give your nerves a break and heal your mind.

What are the benefits of doing inner self-recovery in solitude?

While completely isolating yourself is not a healthy practice, the Hermit card says that a nice moment of alone time is just what you need. During your moments of solitude, you can settle your mind and slow down any racing thoughts jumping around inside your head.

By ultimately slowing down and letting yourself sync up with the silence, you can then begin to collect, organize, and reflect on all your thoughts and feelings. The Hermit wants you to do this because it knows that you haven't had time to do so with everything that has been going on recently.

Having a break in solitude will help you backtrack and see things about certain situations that you may not have seen before. You will have time to process thoughts, feelings, and previous interactions much better and gain insight.

The Hermit card knows how tough things can be when you feel like your thoughts are all over the place and you don't have time to process and reflect on them appropriately. It can cause mental and emotional breakdowns, confusion, forgetfulness, and fatigue.

Sitting by yourself for a bit in solitude is essential for achieving good mental health and making the journey to recovery super quick and refreshing. The Hermit card says that you'll be able to see things in another light. You will gain tons of inner wisdom that will make you mentally and emotionally more robust than ever!

Not sure how to take a break in solitude?

The Hermit card is here to tell you that you need to take a break and have a moment of solitude. Doing so will help you gather your thoughts and make a complete mental and emotional recovery.

It's a lot more simple than you'd think. All you need to do is think of a nice quiet place where nobody is around to disturb your thoughts. This place could be the library, a calming big empty field, or in the woods surrounded by nature.

Take yourself to your happy place of silence, and let your mind go. Allow yourself to think about whatever it wants. It will be able to figure things out itself in time without any distractions.
