Well, I’ve always been curious about how to balance the negative and positive traits of Pisces. So, I decided to give it a go and see what would happen.
First off, I started by making a list. I jotted down all the positive traits of Pisces that I knew, like being creative, empathetic, and intuitive. Then, I listed the negative ones, such as being overly sensitive, escapist, and a bit too dreamy.
I thought, “Okay, let’s start with the positives and try to boost them.” I set out to do things that would enhance my creativity. I picked up painting again. I’d been slacking off on it for ages. I bought a new set of paints and a big canvas, and I just started splashing colors around. It was so much fun! Every time I got lost in the painting process, I could feel that creative energy flowing.
To work on my empathy, I joined a local volunteer group. We visited a nursing home once a week. I talked to the old folks there, listened to their stories. It was amazing how much I could understand their feelings just by sitting there and chatting. I realized that being empathetic isn’t just about feeling sorry for someone; it’s about truly connecting with them.
Next, I had to deal with those negative traits. The over – sensitivity was a real pain in the butt. I decided to practice some self – control. Whenever I felt myself getting too upset about something small, I’d take a deep breath and count to ten. It sounds silly, but it actually worked. I started to notice that I wasn’t flying off the handle as easily as before.
The escapism was another big one. I used to lose myself in video games or binge – watch TV shows when things got tough. I forced myself to face the problems head – on. For example, when I had a pile of bills to pay, instead of ignoring them and playing games, I sat down at the table, sorted out the bills, and made a payment plan.
As for the dreamy part, I knew I needed to be more grounded. I started keeping a to – do list every day. I wrote down all the things I needed to get done, from doing the laundry to going grocery shopping. And I made sure I ticked off each item on the list as I completed it. This way, I was forced to focus on the real world and not just float around in my dreamland.
After a few months of these practices, I could really see the difference. I felt like I was in a better balance. I was still creative and empathetic, but I wasn’t letting the negative traits get the best of me. I was managing them and using the positive ones to my advantage. It’s been a wild ride, but I’m glad I took on this challenge and made it work!
