THE AVOIDANCE
(evasion. withdrawal. resistance.)
We all have things that we’d rather avoid.
A difficult conversation. The pile of unopened mail at the front door. The to-do list items that linger.
Avoidance can sometimes look like procrastination, but it’s often something deeper: a fear of getting it wrong, an uncertainty, overwhelm or simply a quiet whisper of ‘Not today.’
The Avoidance painting/ card is not a judgment; it’s a gentle tap on the shoulder whispering:
“Today is the day.”
Not to fix everything. Not to solve every problem.
Just taking one step toward the thing you’ve been putting off.
Tick one small item off your to-do list. Message the friend you’ve been meaning to contact. Tidy the paper pile that’s been annoying you. Make the appointment.
Begin with five minutes.
SOUL MANTRA:
“It is easy for me to complete the tasks that I set.”
Because often the dread of an action is heavier than the action itself. And the weight of unfinished things we carry can disappear the moment we begin.
Write this mantra somewhere you’ll see it today. Then choose one thing you’ve been avoiding and offer yourself the gift of beginning.
About the LilliBean Designs Oracle Deck.
The Avoidance is one of 44 original paintings featured in my upcoming oracle deck, coming October 2026. Each card has been lovingly created to offer gentle guidance, soulful reflection, and a little everyday magic to help you reconnect with your intuition.

If the Avoidance resonated with you, the original painting and fine art prints from the collection can also be collected, inviting the energy of the card into your home long before the deck is released.
Sometimes the card you need most is simply the one reminding you to take the very next step.
