A self care guide...

Keeping God First

1 Corinthians 13 (always)

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; don't rely on your own intelligence. Know him in all your paths and He will keep your ways straight" Proverbs 3:5-6

"I've commanded you to be brave and strong haven't I? Don't be alarmed or terrified, because the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:9

"But not only that! We even take pride in our problems, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance produces character, and character produces hope" Romans 5:3-4

Crystals
Turquoise helps you heal. Bloodstone gives you energy. Smoky quartz helps you let go. Rose quartz cultivates love. Carnelian is good for creativity. Quartz crystal works wonders in clearing the mind. Celestite relieves stress. Citrine helps to live in the now. Aventurine attracts new opportunities.

Light it up
Burn some herbs today to help clear negative energy: Sage (especially white) bring wisdom calming and positivity. Its the most common. Lavender, Rosemary, Sweetgrass, and Palo Santo (actually a wood stick) are also great things to use. If you want more info, google smudging. 

Y'all smell that?
 Aromatherapy is so helpful. Its is a quick and cheap way to snap back. Try the oils but surrounding yourself with these scents in teas, flowers, any form, is proven to help.  Rose (my fave): the queen of oils to help with all stress issues. Lavender: soothing; builds solidarity and strength. Bergamot: calming; relieves mild anxiety. Marjoram: provides relief from emotional pain and grief. Chamomile: calming, soothing, medicinal.  Lemon: gentle and refreshing. Geranium: cheery; helps to improve downward spiraling moods. Cinnamon: its sweetness invites you to love what you do for work. Fennel: helps you be kind to yourself. Rosewood: allows love flow to the heart center. Ylang Ylang: releases anger and frustration. Jasmine: relaxing.

Season yourself (I couldn't think of anything better and it made me laugh)
 Salt baths (Epsom and Himalayan are my favorites), are great stress relievers and detoxifiers (I'm not even sure if this is a word. Roll with it). Take one, throw some drops of one of the above mentioned oils, burn some of the above mentioned herbs (or burn some other not mentioned herbs *emoji eyes*), play some music, and regroup. 

If you guys need me, I am here. I'm sending light through all your inboxes. Don't let hate rule you.
