Building, swimming and stepping away
A beaver builds a dam
The dam can represent the planning that makes a long project possible. A beaver chewing through wood can suggest the determination needed to complete one practical part at a time.
Beavers swim or rest
Swimming can evoke the search for calm. A resting beaver may call attention to time you have not given yourself away from the work that usually occupies you.
A beaver runs away
Leaving the scene can reflect wanting to be free of a responsibility. Think about whether you need to let go of the task entirely or share the burden more fairly.
Who was there?
One beaver or a group
A lone animal can fit a feeling of working without support. A group or a peaceful home scene can help you recognise the value of shared work and time with people you care about.
