Here’s why I want to challenge you: gratitude gives you the opportunity to focus on the things in your life that bring you joy. You are here on this earth today and you are reading this because you are ready to make your life a little bit better. So you’ve already got a lot more going on for you than you might think.

Reflect & Align. The first step in setting your goals is to reflect on your successes of the past year (or life up to this point—you should take a lot of time and get really deep here) and celebrate these accomplishments! Ask yourself questions like, What have I done well? Where do I feel disconnected? Where do I see myself going? What am I passionate about? When you do this kind of deep digging, you become way more focused and powerful in your goal setting and achievement. I like to journal this process. Try to get really quiet and treat it as something ceremonial. Feel gratitude for your life journey, even if you are unhappy with where you are now. Coming out of this process, you should have a solid understanding of where you’re coming from and we can move into Step 2.

When choosing a crystal, I think the best thing to do is to get out of your head and into your heart. What calls to you? Are you attracted to a certain stone based on its physical properties? That’s probably the one you need! We tried this the other day at a crystal store…

Maybe you are interested but just don’t think you have the time to commit to it. Well, I’m here to tell you that meditation isn’t hard, scary or time-consuming. And you can literally do it at any time throughout the day (yes, even while you are doing other things).
