- Refusing to worry about what you cannot control
- Rejecting anxiety
- Judging your own performance with kindness and gentleness
- Using meditation to quiet a troubled mind
- Confronting nightmares and fears
- Drawing a conclusion and putting an issue out of your mind
Nine of Swords reversed
- Torturing yourself with regrets
- Second-guessing your every move
- Beating yourself up for your mistakes
- Depression
- Obsessing on errors and overlooked details
- Refusing to handle stress in healthy ways
- Ruining your ability to appreciate the present by dwelling on the past
- Debating irreversible decisions
Nine of Swords as a prediction
- If you take the action you're considering now, you'll be sorry in the future
