• Don’t be hard on yourself. 

• Get yourself a gift. 

• Embrace old traditions that you love or cultivate new traditions. Do which ever one works for you. 

• Take time and space to recharge at holiday events (i.e. Bathroom breaks, taking a walk outside, etc)...

• Avoid over indulgence. This may include foods, compulsive spending, alcohol, and other toxic substances.

• Exercise regularly if possible. 

• Seek out inspiration to help motivate you during the holidays. 

• Create a budget if you plan on spending money during the holidays. 

• To avoid sensory overload, it may be helpful to shop when it is less crowded. This may include mornings or before the holidays. Shopping online may also be a helpful option. 

• Get cozy and find time to relax. 

• Help create someone else’s holiday. 

• Know your triggers and have a plan that includes healthy coping strategies. 

• If you are low on cash, swapping trades with someone such as babysitting or cooking can be a great gift idea on the holidays.

Wishing you all a happy holidays!

What I Love About Crystals!

What I Love About Crystals!

March 9,2019

After experimenting with a variety of gems over the years, I have experienced a variety of benefits crystals and gemstones exude, such as a sense of peace and tranquility. Simply holding the glossy surface of certain crystals, such as sodalite(my favorite) have been calming for me.

Crystals have also been a great focal point during meditation or when I easily get distracted. I also love the variety of colors and textures displayed as decorations. To sum it up, I think crystals are fun and full of sensory beauty!

Crystals are natural elements made of energy that have been on the earth for ages. There are a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, textures, properties, and intended uses for crystals. Each crystal truly is unique and may have different energetic effects in a given environment.

Crystals may vary in purpose, meaning, or intended use. Crystals are used in meditation or for a variety of spiritual pursuits. Due to the radiant and aesthetic nature of crystals, many crystals are used in the realms of interior design and photography. A variety of crystals are even thought to bring tranquility, peace, and clarity of mind.

Because highly sensitive people are more prone to energetic and emotional overload, crystals can be an excellent tool for the highly sensitive or empathic person! If anything, crystals are a universal source of visual stimulation and a way to connect with nature! That's a another reason I love crystals!

I plan on posting more about crystal again soon. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments and wishing you all a lovely day or night!

With love,

Dahlia
