Back to School Guide: Tools for a Successful Year

August 27, 2024

As the new school year approaches, it's essential to equip yourself with tools that can help you navigate the challenges ahead. In addition to textbooks and notebooks, consider incorporating wellness and self-care tools into your routine to enhance your focus, creativity, and overall well-being. Here is a guide to some of our favorite tools and self-care tips for back to school.

• Using crystals in your daily routine can help lessen stress, bring in feelings of peace, and increase focus and clarity of mind. Some of our favorites are Lepidolite, Tiger Eye, Fluorite, Tourmaline, and Jade. Our Back to School crystal kits are perfect for backpacks and dorm rooms. A crystal pouch is perfect for taking your crystals with you where you go!
• Worry stones have a soothingly smooth feel and they have been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, calm your heart, and clear your mind. Hold the stone between your index finger and thumb and gently rub your thumb back and forth across the smooth indentation when you're feeling worried or overwhelmed. They can also help with concentration!
• Wearing crystal jewelry can also enhance the crystals properties. Our Back To School bracelets are specially designed to ease students back into the classroom.
• As we spend more time indoors and in front of electronic devices, we increase our risk of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. Some of the symptoms are mental fatigue, stress, skin rashes, and achy joints. If you experience any of these symptoms, you can protect yourself with crystals such as Shungite, Terahertz, Orgone, and Astrophyllite. Wear the crystals as jewelry or keep them near your electronic devices, especially when studying.
• Essential oils can naturally help with feelings of nervousness, difficulty sleeping, or the need to relax and recharge. Our favorites are Lavender, Sweet Orange, Cedarwood, and Bergamot. Diffuse 3-6 drops or add a few drops to lava beads in a bracelet design. 
• Incorporating a daily meditation practice into your routine can help reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance your overall well-being. Take a few minutes each day to sit quietly, focus on your breath, and center yourself before starting your day. Regular breathwork and meditation can create a supportive and empowering environment for learning and growth.
• Keeping a journal to release emotions, thoughts, and ideas can help keep your creativity flowing and emotionally grounded. If you enjoy working with angel cards, pull a card each morning to with the intent to begin your day with gratitude and positivity
