as an experiment, i've started trying to read tarot more intuitively, i.e., using books less and going more off of the imagery on the cards. it helps me not get bogged down intellectualizing the process, instead moving quickly and going with first impressions. plus it helps build confidence in my abilities as a reader, reinforcing that my own interpretation is the most valid, even if it goes against the book's interpretation
now, the skill i'd really like to build is reading for others. i think i do a decent job of it, and i feel great when i can help someone, but the big obstacle is that i get massive anxiety that i'll Do it Wrong. so that's probably an exposure therapy kind of situation. maybe i could start by reading for partners
