Hello beautiful! Today I’m happy to talk about turning some mundane moments magical! Here are some ideas to help you start your day with a little more oomph, and feel free to comment your ideas below!
Wake-Up Call
Waking up to a blaring alarm clock is a rough start to the day. Try setting your alarm to music that gradually gets louder. It’s a gentler way to wake up. If you’re like me, you probably lie in bed for a few minutes after the alarm goes off. If you’d like to make use of that time, try meditation!
Morning meditation is perfect because you’re still in that sleepy state where your subconscious is more accessible. It’s a quiet time to gently wake up while connecting with the your Gods, spirits, guides, and guardians. If you have kids or a busy schedule, setting your alarm a few minutes earlier can help ensure you have this peaceful time.
Morning Shower
After meditation, it’s time for a shower. Visualize the shower as a waterfall, with golden and white lights swirling around you in the steam. Breathe deeply and cleanse not just your body, but also your mind and soul. Imagine the water having protective properties that will shield you from negativity throughout the day.
I also like to imbue my bath products with specific intentions. For instance, I sometimes use lemon juice as a hair cleanser, which is great for lifting my mood. Choose scents that resonate with you on a magical level or pay attention to the colors of your bath products. If you’re trying to be eco-friendly, consider making your own products. Baking soda and vinegar for hair, baking soda toothpaste, cornstarch dry shampoo, and essential oil perfumes are just a few examples. DIY beauty products can be charged with your intentions during the making process, adding a magical touch!
Dressing with Intention
When getting dressed, consider the colors you’re wearing. For a big meeting at work, grounding browns or prosperity-drawing greens can be beneficial. Even if you have a dress code, you can play around with colors in your undergarments. For those who wear bras, try sewing a small pocket in the side to hold tiny gemstones if you don’t have other pockets.
Breakfast Blessings
Infuse your morning beverage or food with positive energy. If you consume animal products, give thanks to the animals involved. I like to say, “I give thanks to all the souls that went into the making of this meal.” This includes not just the animals, but also the farmers and workers who brought the food to your table.
Commute Connections
Commuting, while being a drag at times, can be a great time to check in with your Gods, to pray, to have some moving meditation, to notice the beauty of nature around you. Even when you’re stuck in traffic you can use this moment to realize and recognize that we are all connected, and that everyone has a thread of divinity within them. I like to send out blessings for those that would like to accept them. I mentally say something like “May everyone here who accepts these blessings receive them.” Remember, consent in magic is important!
Love you, be well!
