“Look at this. Your second most popular blog post is ‘A Spell to Attract New and Positive Friends,’” my blog team member said. (You can clickHEREfor that post.)
I thought about this.
1. Beware that fatigue prevents your next leap forward.
One of my friends asked, “When was the last time you did a spell?” I replied, “It’s been too long.”
“Why?” she asked.
“I’m tired.”
This had me realize that I needed to do something to raise my energy.
2. Be decisive to raise your personal energy.
I’ve thought about my own energy. It can be hard because I am impacted by depression symptoms. My first focus point is getting enough sleep and good nutrition. This helps.
Think of three people you know. Which one of them raises your energy? When was the last time you had fun with them?
What can you do to raise your own energy?
3. Pray to the Goddess
Here’s a prayer you can use:
Lovely Lady of the Moon. Get me some new friends real soon. Help me build my own energy. So, they experience me as trustworthy. So Mote It Be.
Do you want answers from your intuition? Moonwater reveals how you can create harmony between your unconscious and your ego. Learn a powerful prayer to the Goddess—in which you ask for freedom from the shackles of a judgmental mindset. Receive answers beyond your daily, standard thoughts.

“I don’t know the last time I felt relaxed,” Charice, a person in my circle, said. “I could tell you about all the times I feel anxious,” she continued.
Have you noticed that many people in several cultures use the word “productive” like it’s a beacon of hope? Also, productivity is tied to self-worth.
Is being relaxed not productive?
Someone I know, Stephanie, told me that she found a truly helpful idea when she was in turmoil, during college.
“It’s called ‘the 50-minute hour,’” she told me. The idea is: You study for 50 minutes and then do something relaxing. Perhaps take a walk outside the building.
Another friend used to draw storyboards (illustrations for making a film) when taking a break from studying for college exams related to biology and physiological psychology.
A break to relax did support productivity.
Also, it gave my friends ways to be in the world outside of a state of Rush-Rush.
Here are insights to support you in becoming a Relaxed Witch.
1. Imagine “Relaxed” as “In Tune”
If all you do is focus on the fearmongering and rage baiting of social media, you’re not in tune with nature. How can you be relaxed? Feeling anxiety and adrenaline keeps you separate from your essence as a Relaxed Witch.
Being in tune is related to self-care.
2. Identify what Self-Care is to you
Ask yourself: What do I feel is the Self-Care I need?
Here are some Self-Care ideas:
A ritual bath.
Doing your own nails.
Making a magickal cup of tea or coffee.
Do an extended grounding exercise.
Enjoy your own spa day.
What would you like to do as self-care?
3. Take a Breath
We often take our breath for granted. But it can feed our soul.
Why?
Our breath feeds our bodies. It also carries our magickal words of power.
Deep breathing helps us center ourselves and can be done anywhere we feel safe.
It can be done during our lunch break in our car, at home, or on a walk in the woods.
4. Say a prayer for Self-Care
Here is a prayer you can use.
As I breathe 1, 2, 3, Help me manage the rising tornado in me. I ask Air to calm the winds down. I ask Earth to stand my ground, Let Fire shift down low. And Water wash my anxiety just so. As I will, so mote it be!

“I realized that every decision is like making a bet,” Nancy, a person in my circle, said.
“How so?” I asked.
“You don’t have all the information. Even if you make a rational decision, there’s an element of luck involved,” she said.
I reflected on this.
We, witches, can have an advantage.
You could decide to include Tarot Cards in your practice of the Craft.
Here are helpful insights.
1. Prepare your energy before you do a spread of Tarot Cards.
“The magic begins in you. Feel your own energy, and realize similar energy exists within the Earth, stones, plants, water, wind, fire, colours, and animals.” – Scott Cunningham
Pay attention to your current state of energy. Are you okay? Are you exhausted?
Here’s the important point: If you are upset, you could read a Tarot Spread incorrectly. This incorrect reading could further fuel your problems.
Instead, make sure to first ground and center your energy.
2. Use a dedicated Tarot cloth for your spread of Tarot Cards.
The purpose here is to keep the energy of your spread of cards separate from other energies. This is also important if you travel and do a spread in different places.
Other benefits include:
Keep your cards clean.
This also provides part of a good ritual.
3. Make sure your question is precise.
A vague question can lead to a muddy answer.
Here are examples of better questions:
What step do I need to take to increase my financial abundance?
Will I meet a good business contact at the Networking Event on Elm Street today?
Let’s Pull This All Together
Making better decisions can include a careful and well-thought-out approach to using Tarot Cards.

“Owwww! This pain is … just too much,” Stephen, a person in my circle, said. He endured oral surgery, and then, when the anesthetic wore off, he barely held on with Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
What helped? Talking on the phone with friends. How? When talking with a friend, Stephen’s focus would shift. The pain would go into the background. Sometimes for a couple of minutes … or more.
We, Wiccans and witches, can tune into our spiritual path. We can direct our focus.
“In truly understanding the Goddess and God, one comes to understand life, for the two are inextricably entwined. Live your earthly life fully, but try to see the spiritual aspects of your activities as well. Remember—the physical and spiritual are but reflections of each other.” – Scott Cunningham
I reflected on this. I notice two different types of focus.
One type is a focus on gratitude.
The other type is “what is not perfect.” An example is: The parent insists that the kid is never good enough.
It all depends on what you focus your mind on.
The focus on gratitude can shift your inner energy. Stephen found that in his warm connection with a friend, his inner energy went from suffering to gratitude and connection.
“To me, magic is the movement of subtle, natural energies to manifest needed change.” – Scott Cunningham
What do you need to change? Would you like to do a simple candle ritual?
Remember, your focus can elevate your life. The Goddess meets you on that elevated path.
Here is a prayer you can use:
Goddess, Help me shift my focus to the good things in life. Help my mind heal my body and soul. Inspire me into gratitude for all You have given me So Mote It Be.

“What about receiving intuitive thoughts from the Gods?” Jim, someone in my circle, asked.
Later, I reflected on this.
What would be an indication that the thought originated with the Gods?
One of my spiritual elders suggested, “It would not be ego-focused. And, it would not harm you.”
Look at what the Goddess said:
“Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever toward it; let naught stop you or turn you aside.” – The Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess, as written by Doreen Valiente
So, if a thought is negative and makes your life worse, it is NOT from the Gods.
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” – Kahlil Gibran
“Maybe some of our painful experiences are necessary to open our understanding,” one of my spiritual elders said.
I thought about this. Perhaps, breaking old habits that are bad for you … may bring pain.
So, pain may be unwanted. But we can have a different thought. How about… “What can I learn from this?”
Or “How can I have empathy, now that I have experienced this tough situation?”
The Goddess stands with you. What is Her will? That you show kindness to yourself, humans, and other beings. Nature is our home.
Now, how will you honor the Goddess, your true self, and your home?
