- open windows and let the sunlight in. the sun is an essential source of vitamin d, which strengthens your bones. it increases serotonin levels, balances your circadian rhythm, and is a powerful resource of energy and warmth. let the daylight motivate you!
- burn candles, incense, or run a diffuser in the morning. making your space smell nice is a great way to boost your mood (however, be careful of certain oils used in diffusers, they can be harmful to pets!).
- make your own natural cleaning products. two cups of water, ½ cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp of unscented dish soap, 1 tbsp baking soda, and a couple drops of your fav essential oil for scent… tada! all purpose natural cleaner!
- put crystals in the soil of your potted plants to encourage healthy growth (i’ve found clear quartz, malachite, and pyrite are good for this).
- sprinkle a little baking soda + essential oils on the carpet before you vacuum, and chant your intentions as you do. deodorize your carpet and suck up bad vibes at the same time.
- hang witch bells above the front and back doors. this works as a ward against evil/negative energy, and also functions as a low cost security system.
- keep your space clean! it can be hard to stay on top of sometimes, but if you find yourself with a spare 30 minutes, use it to tidy up. your home is a reflection of your soul and your energy, and too much clutter can be both physically and mentally draining.
- talk out loud. whistle. sing. this may sound silly, but let your home hear you. imagine your youness sinking into the walls. make your space fall in love with you, and do it in return.
- count your blessings, no matter how small. it’s easy to think of all the things we don’t have and to forget about the things we do. whether it’s your own bedroom, an internet connection, a cute statue, a book, a crystal, access to food and clean water, try to take stock of the things that make your life good and comfortable.
