How I Get Through Difficult Days

Everyone has difficult days; days where past memories and thoughts come back to haunt you throughout the day. Sometimes, they’re easy to get through and you barely pass a thought to the date – but sometimes it’s a lot harder than you think it’s going to be. Yesterday was one of these difficult days so I thought I’d share the little spiritual ways I help get through it.

The night before, I calmed my mind by reading, listening to relaxing music with that had no associations to bad things and by drinking some relaxing camomile, rosehip and lindon tea. I also made up a spell bag full of crystals, herbs and scents to promote healing and love. The spell bag contained:

• Rose Quartz - healing, mood balancing

• Clear Quartz - healing, mood balancing

• Amethyst - calming, healing

• Chamomile flowers - calming

• lavender flowers - healing, calming

I left it to sit on my windowsill in my bedroom, next to some lavender and rose incense I had lit, so that it could absorb lunar energy from the moon as I knew I would need it for the next day. The incense also helped me to have a deep and restful night’s sleep.

In the morning I continued to promote healing and calming vibes by drinking a nice big cup of Invigor-tea which I diffused into hot water using my chakra tea diffuser. I hoped this would bring healing and grounding energy into my  specific chakras via the coloured beads on the diffuser.

My overall advice is when one of these difficult days comes around its good to prepare yourself in the best way you know how and to make sure you go and do something that takes your mind off everything – my friends and I decided to go to IKEA and that certainly distracted me from the past by making me think about my future. I also found that over the course of the day the above things helped me to find everything a lot easier to handle and definitely made a positive difference as to how my day went.
