At the beginning of September I set a wildly ambitious goal based on the way things had been going for me and my business recently. I knew it was ambitious, and for the first time I also knew it was going to happen. In an effort to bring more support to my practice and inner healing, I leaned on crystals.
Knowing Citrine is the stone of abundance and manifestation, I knew it was my crystal of choice. As I began to see the powers of Citrine come into play, combined with my own inner work and intentions, I grew more curious about this stunning pale yellow Quartz. The more I read about it and surrounded myself with it (sporting 3 Citrine nuggets in my bra on a daily basis) the more aware I became of its support. Every single day I woke up, repeated my affirmations, rubbed my Citrine nuggets and set my intention. "Where attention goes energy flows" Every morning I intentionally focused my energy upon that which I desired. I stayed committed and intentional to this goal. When my mind wandered, I listened, then reigned my thoughts back in so my attention was intentionally focused where I needed it to be, rather than allowing myself to stay stuck in my old behavioural patterns and past narratives. Sure, in part, maybe the Citrine served as a visual mnemonic device, but even if that's all it did, it worked! Serving as a visual reminder to train your brain to focus on that which you desire and a tangible item to help reign your thoughts back to being able to serve you, you further grow in your practice and keep your attention going where the energy needs to be flowing!
So, back to the story! I set this ambitious goal, I had 10 short days to accomplish it and on the very final day, I saw my goal come to fruition! And the best part is that I didn't just accomplish it, I surpassed it in a pretty big way! Maybe it was the Citrine, maybe it was my mindset and maybe, just maybe, but almost certainly, it was the combination. Utilizing tools to assist and support you on your journey cannot hinder your progress, so why not choose to believe instead!
