“The shadow side of indulgence is the hidden cost that emerges when pleasure turns into excess." 
Oprah Winfrey

Indulgence is a juggling act between self-care and excess. It is gratification as an escape from the daily drudge, but when you overindulge, you lose touch with your resilience, your ability to face life without numbing the pain. The card of Indulgence invites you to find the middle path. You can nourish yourself without being excessive. To recognise that it is self-care, inner balance and well-being. As Grandma used to say: “A little bit of what you fancy does you good”. But as she also used to say: “Too much of anything is good for nothing.”

Indulgence Mantra: I find balance between self-care and excess.
