🌙before you start, spray your yoga mat with essential oils (orange, lavender, grapefruit and mint are great)

☀️put your favorite crystals around your mat, especially any crystals that are good for relaxation or balance

🌙listen to soothing nature sounds (like ocean waves, forest, campfire, thunder, etc.) to help you focus and ground

☀️make yoga spells by combining certain positions with intent (sun salutations and tree pose for confidence and happiness, cobra and warrior for warding and banishment, etc.)

🌙do some tea, infused water, or smoothie magic before you start. This works great in combination with the yoga spells since you can match intent (and strengthen the spell)

☀️you could also make whatever you drink (or eat) before yoga correspond with energy (cinnamon, ginger, strawberry, French lavender, apple, rosemary, and citrus fruits are great energy boosters)

🌙do some yoga with your plant babies! Place your plant near your mat, as you breathe and stretch your plant will absorb the energy. It also will help you ground and meditate. (Just make sure you don’t accidently knock them over)

☀️light some incense or a candle (it can correspond with your yoga spell, cleanse the air, or just relax you)

- make a spell and weave it into a friendship bracelet

- stirring sigils your morning coffee or tea 

- look through thrift stores for old candles or objects that you are drawn too

- embroidering sigils into your clothes or bags for a constant boost

- meditating to calm yourself and reduce stress

- colour coordinate your outfit with your intent for the day

- take walks in nature and just focus on the surroundings

sketchbook details 🌕✨

1. Be willing to fail more often - as that means you’re taking on more challenges, and being prepared to try, learn and grow.

2. Keep track of improvements, positive changes, successes, growth and accomplishments.

3. Don’t compare yourself to other people. The only person you’re competing against is yourself. Also, we have an unhelpful tendency to compare our struggles with other peoples’ successes and high points.

4. Work on your posture and your fitness levels as they affect our appearance, and how we feel about ourselves.

5. Don’t just hang out with people you are comfortable with. Also, gravitate towards those who are new or different.

6. We’re influenced by those that we spend time with. So, make friends with people who seem warm and confident.

7. Be a true friend to yourself – and shut off the commentary that is negative, attacking and lacking in compassion.
