Witchy ways to enhance self love 💖 because you’re worth it.
The day and age we live in can make it tough for people to accept and love themselves for who they are so here are some things you can do to show yourself your are perfect as you are and can help you learn to love yourself more and grow more confident in your own skin.
1. Clean yourself in the shower: rub your favourite shower gel slowly taking your time on every part of your body really stopping and appreciating every inch of your body. I recommend using a rose scent for love and happiness
2. Tell yourself in the mirror every morning that you are beautiful: although you may not believe it straight away if you keep doing it for long enough you’ll start to believe it!
3. Make Sigils about loving and accepting yourself and put them on your clothes, bedsheets, bracelets and journals
4. Make self love jars: they contain rose petals, salt, patchouli and heart confetti and write your intention on a piece of paper e.g. “I will learn to love myself” and fold it up and place it in the jar then seal it. You can make mini ones to wear arround your neck or put In your pockets or you can make bigger ones to place around your house
5. Enchant your makeup and hygiene items: do this so that when you use them they are filled up with your powerful intent of loving yourself more!
6. Cast a spell: cast a spell to block out negative people who can alter your self image so their nasty opinions can not hurt you anymore or affect how you look at yourself
i want to be the person you feel safe with. your favorite voice, favorite scent, favorite touch. i want to be the prettiest person in the entire world to you.
control your environment. surround yourself with the kindest people, with the calmest music, with the softest clothes. make yourself comfortable. the world will not always do it for you.
be as independent as you possibly can, but do not fear reaching for help. you are constantly growing and improving, don’t let your obsession with autonomy hinder you from becoming a better version of yourself.
set your priorities straight. there are things you want to do, and there are things you need to do, and there are things you need to do in order to do the things you want to do. do them first.
believe in your abilities. believe in your aspirations, your reasons, and your hopes. hold on to your motivation as much as possible. everyone needs time, but many forget that they need their own strength as well.
be overwhelmed. make mistakes. be thoroughly done with everything. notice how you change during your low points in life. notice how you plant a seed in your mind, something that will bloom. take care of it. you will grow and flourish soon enough.
make your own ghibli moment !!! live life to its fullest !
bake a loaf of bread ! read a book & drink some tea ! plant some flowers ! return the life god’s head to its body and reset the entire world to its natural state ! learn something new !! go for a walk !!!!
-Spelled bath salts in your night bath to lift mental and physical exhaustion of the day. I recommend a recipe with frankincense, geranium and rosemary in it as they aid in purification of body, spirit and soul but you can customize for your needs. You can do SOOOOO many things in the bath. Imma do another post on this.
-Rose hip tea before bed to bring prophetic dreams.
-Rosemary/athame placed beneath the pillow to protect from nightmares and psychic attacks.
-Incense of lavender. Or a candle dressed in lavender oil. Or lavender fragrance oil on your pulse points. Whatever is more feasible to you. Lavender, promotes peaceful sleep.
-Keep a dream journal. Meditate for a few as soon as you wake up and record everything you recall in the journal for reflection.
-Do a card pull for the day ahead. Tarot or oracle. Your choice.
-Brew tea in the morning. I like green tea. Its simple. Its available. Most importantly, its cheap.
-The house you live in is an entity too. Clean it up a little. It can be something as simple as vacuuming, floorwash, dusting windows, changing curtains, letting in some sun, hanging wind chimes, vastu or feng shui, sprinkling infused water, smudging…..you get it.
-Water your plants. Talk to them. Sing to them. See if anyone is sick and needs attention. Plants like that. Bond with your plants and they will aid you more.
-I like to shower in the morning (I’m Indian and terrified of my mother. Also. Hygiene.) Visualize the water infusing you with its flow and clarity to help you flow and be clearheaded throughout the day.
-Eat breakfast with intention. You are what you eat. Do not put trash in your tummy. It messes with your frequency. I like to stick to apples and milk/coffee.
-Wear clothes with intention too. Colors are a massive force in our lives and aid in our purpose. Wear red for passion, confidence, sensuality and resoluteness. I like to wear at least one red item everyday.
-Nail polish, if that’s something you’re into. You can incorporate color magic by doing this too if you do not wish to wear colored attire or if its not your style.
-Put a fragrance oil/itr (pronounce:EEH-tr) on you with. I like to put jasmine on me. It corresponds with divination, sensuality, confidence and luxury.
-Jewellery. Period. Rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, anklets…intention people. Intention is your best friend. For my broom-closeted witches, this is an excellent way to mask your crystals in plain sight. Crystals are pretty and jewellery goes unsuspected. Amethyst ring? Lapis studs? Pearl bracelet? Obsidian pendant? Crystal magic!!!
-Enchant your makeup if you use any.
-Put pre-energized yantras/glyphs on the inside of your laptop bag/school bag/work bag to promote clarity and fluidity in work.
-Enchant your pens/brushes/pencils/tools of trade for productivity and efficiency.
-Carry snacks with you. Dried drupes, berries and fruits are fulfilling and keep you in touch with earth. Also, cuz they’re snacks.
-Eat your food.
-When you get back home, shed you’re clothing and visualize all the weight of the day going with it.
-I like to have a post-work day shower too. Again, visualize the water carrying away your woes with it.
-Brew your post-work tea. Chai is a very good option. I brew it in milk and add a host of powders/roots to it. Nutmeg, cinnamon, mace, grated ginger and cardamom are my favorites in any season. They promote positivity, good energy, relaxation, healing and peace.
-Listen to your favorite music.
-Do something artistic. Maybe paint, sculpt, write, sing out loud, freestyle….whatever you like.
-Read and research. I like to update by grimoire everyday. I, like many other witches, believe that my grimoire is a living entity and needs attention in order to flourish. You don’t have to do a lot. Just research for a couple minutes and write down your notes in it. It don’t have to be fancy.
