Here are some coping tips for these crazy times! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the onslaught of negative news, know that you are not alone. AND YOU CAN FOLLOW THESE POINTERS TO HANDLE IT ALL A BIT BETTER… PLUS, WHAT’S NEW IN THE SHOP!

1. Limit Your News Time

Try to avoid getting sucked into the headlines. Set very clear boundaries with yourself about when and for how long you will check up on news.

2. Take One Minute Each Day

Take one minute each day to picture the world surrounded by white light. Just focus on your breathing and hold the image in your mind for 60 seconds.

4. Spend Time In Nature

Schedule nature time just like you’re now scheduling news time. Go to a plant nursery, a park, or anywhere that you can be around plants and earth. Take off your shoes and walk on grass/dirt barefoot for a while if you can. Or go to the beach and walk in the shoreline, letting the waves carry away any stress and tension you’re holding.

5. Cleanse

Smudge yourself, your space, your work area (everywhere!) regularly. Smuding and burning incense in your home / room can create a calming vibe that helps you relax.

6. Wear or Carry Crystals

Choose crystals associated with love, calm and upliftment. Think pinks and greens, pale blues, and whites, like Rose Quartz, Amazonite, Blue Calcite, Celestite, Selenite, and Magnesite. Crystals set in jewellery are perfect to wear around, while tumbled stones and gallets are good for slipping in your pocket (or bra if you wear one). Use these crystals around your home and office too. Just placing crystals around you with the intention of creating a calming, uplifting space will have a positive effect on your wellbeing.

7. Ground Regularly

Grounding means coming back to yourself, your physical body, in this moment, with this breath. It is bringing yourself back into a state of conscious awareness, rather than worrying about the future (whether that’s what you need to do in the next 10 minutes, or what the world will look like in the next 10 years), or mulling over things in the past (like the person who hooted at you in traffic or that time you totally embarrassed yourself at a social event).

Grounding is about mindfulness. All you need do is bring yourself into the present and breathe. When I used to suffer from really bad anxiety, I used the mantra “right now in this second I am perfectly safe” to help myself come into the moment and focus on the now.

Use earthy crystals to help you feel grounded, ease anxiety and lessen frustration. Jaspers, Tourmaline, Hematite, Hematoid Quartz, and Smoky Quartz are all great go-tos.
