Trying to Stick to New Year's Resolutions?

Happy New Year! How have you been getting on with your New Year’s resolutions so far? Finding it hard to stick with it? Don’t despair - and certainly don’t give up! We have some tips on how to use natural energies to help you make the changes to your life you want to see.

Clear Quartz - Clear quartz is great for focus and clarity and so will help to pave the way forwards without complications and confusion.

The Colour Green - Green is both calming and resilient so it will help you to adjust to your new way of being, to normalise it for you as well as help to give you staying power to keep going days or months down the line.

Spell Candles - These can be specific to your goals but don’t necessarily have to be. You can use the candle as a reminder, something to help keep your resolution fresh in your mind. Light a candle for 10 minutes every evening and spend some time meditating or reflecting on how far you’ve come, what you need to achieve and how to overcome any hurdles.

10 of Wands Tarot Card - Keep this card in a place that you means you will see it often. It depicts life’s struggles but shows that pushing forwards will bring rewards.

Tell a friend! - I know, I know, it probably doesn’t seem too appealing. But this is what I’m doing at the moment and it’s working really well. It’s great to have both support and someone to monitor my progress. But for these reasons, choose wisely and only go for someone who you believe will give you the boost you need and be genuinely happy to see you succeed. Kindness is a wonderful energy so seek it out and let it in.

Book of Shadows - If you have a Book of Shadows, keep a journal of your progress along with all of the spells or aids that you use to help along the way. You can use these in the future for other projects - don’t waste knowledge!

Angels - Keep a picture or figure of an angel near to you. The reason you came up with the New Year’s resolution in the first place was likely because you have tried and failed before. It can be hard to break with habits or others’ expectations of you and sometimes it feels like the world is working against you. Your angel will be on your side, the protector of your hopes and dreams.
