“You look frustrated,” my friend, Susan, said.
“Got that right,” I replied.
“About…?”
“I just can’t get in more meditation sessions,” I said.

Later, I reflected on this.
So, we hear that improving our lives is just about adding a habit. (As if that were easy.)

Ever put in a new habit and in 47 days—poof!—the habit is gone?

Frustrating, right?
What’s the answer?

It’s not just a change of habit.
It’s a shift of identity.

Robert Rodriguez, the film director, said that he would throw out his back every time he made a film.
He asked Sylvester “Sly” Stallone how he managed to stay strong and athletic.
Sly said, “Get a personal trainer.”

But then, Robert had a revelation. Yes, it was good to have the support of a personal trainer. AND, he needed to shift his identity to “athlete.” Then it was about “what does an athlete do?”

We, witches, can choose layers to our identity.

I can choose and say firmly, “I AM a meditator.”

In fact … I’m taking a pause …

Now, I am back.

Guess what I just did?

I did a brief meditation session. Why? “I AM a meditator.”

What identity would you like to add to your practice as a Witch?

Here’s a prayer.

Goddess, show me the way to transformation.
Guide my actions on my desired path.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater

“What’s good for you—that’s Wicca—that you don’t do?” my friend, Margarette, said.
“Meditate more often,” I said.
“What holds you back?”
“It’s a freakin’ cliché. I have no time in the morning. I’m too tired at the end of the day. And, I spend my day mostly taking care of my parents (often). And one diabetic cat,” I said, my shoulders drooping.
Margarette nodded. She looked sad.

I have an insight for you.

Attach The Good For You Action to Something You’re Already Doing

Something good for me is to do an action that makes me feel better.

For example, my husband massages my back every night. (Yeah, I feel lucky.)

But I just don’t get around to massaging his back.

I don’t feel good about not supporting the Love of My Life.

Except, now I’m turning that around. Now, I’ll take 10 seconds to massage the trapezius muscles next to his neck when I walk past him to my workstation (in our home).

10 seconds is better than nothing.

He smiles and says, “Wow! You remove a lot of tension from my trapezius muscles in a short time!”

So I’m going to walk past him anyway. I’ve just attached being kind to my husband (and I feel better) to my daily action.

My way to add Wicca to these 10 Seconds is to say a prayer like: “God and Goddess, thank you for my sweetheart. May he feel safe in my arms and loved.”

What would be good for you to add to your daily life?

Here’s a helpful prayer.

Goddess,
Guide me to make time for
What’s good for me,
What’s important to me,
What makes me smile.
So Mote It Be.

May this insight support your path.

Blessed Be,
