Magically Recovering from a Bad Day

Some days it's like I'm Wile E. Coyote. I have a plan...then there's this huge shadow over me...all I have is a little pink umbrella...and CRASH...a boulder comes down on my head...and that bird...that bird goes meep-meep.

What is there to do about soul-devouring days? Plenty.

There are many small cleansing practices that can help after a bad day.

1. Wash the bad day away. Take a shower and visualize the water carrying each moment of the day down the drain. Give yourself permission to forget about everything. Realize that only in leaving behind the day that has past can you start to prepare for tomorrow.

2. Try breathing. Find an image or song. Meditate on that inspiration and let it reignite you. Inhale and exhale. Picture a little spark. With each breath you are blowing on the spark and making it grow.

3. Take a walk and reconnect with nature and yourself.

Is this magic? Yes. It can be some of the most powerful and effective magic.

Do you think you need a different fix? Something with more punch than washing a bad day away.

4. Work a spell to give yourself a better umbrella (future articles will address specific spells). It could be a simple spell with an incantation and a candle or it could be a ritual with multiple components. Good luck, fortuna, and protection spells are suitable options.
