5. Creating Rituals. Finally, creating rituals can bring magic into your life. Do you have a morning or evening routine? Do you set intentions, say prayers, read an inspirational text, take a bath, practice yoga or meditation? These are only a few suggestions on things can be incorporated into a morning or evening routine. In addition, it’s not just important what we do but how we do it. When we engage in these morning or evening routines, are we present or focused on another activity? Can we shut off our minds and truly experience what is going on? Doing these things, ensuring that our whole selves (mind, body and spirit) are fully engaged will create a sacred energy that can transform everyday activities into something special, magical. I find that when I start and end my day with ceremony, my spirit feels lighter and freer and is filled with more joy and clarity. We can each create a magical day (and a magical life) by setting the space for our mindsets and physical environments to be intentionally supportive of our desires. The five simple steps above can make such a positive impact on how our days unfold. And while we may sometimes think that having a magical day is elusive, it can be something that we experience more of in our lives.

Solve problems in unusual ways, drive a different route to work, play a game, do something that is not part of your regular routine to encourage yourself to step outside of your comfort zone throughout the day. I encourage you to take it a step further and make something for yourself or your home, whether it be a vision board, gratitude box, magical necklace or bracelet, something to remind you of your creative power (that each person really does possess). Setting the table and cooking are places where your creativity can be set free as well along with providing nourishment for your body. How can you incorporate sparks of creativity throughout your day? If you still can’t think of anything, try to remember what you enjoyed doing most as a child. Is it coloring, building, playing games, solving problems? What can you adopt from your youth to incorporate into your current life?
