Tips for Protecting Your Energy During Social Gatherings

Here are a few tried & true crystal tips on taking care of yourself during social situations, regardless of what you have planned.

1. Take time each day to check in with yourself & your plans to make sure you are 100% committed to and comfortable with any gatherings you agree to. This includes making sure you have enough information about who will be present, timing & what the expectations are of your contributions. Work with black tourmaline to ensure you are grounded.

2. Do not stress yourself over needing to find the perfect gift for everybody you know & love. Most people are overflowing with abundance & would appreciate a card or handmade gift just as much as an expensive item which you can't afford. Gift citrine for abundance as a good crystal gift suggestion.

3. Make sure your needs are taken care of financially before spending on others, even if you feel socially obligated to do so. The holiday time period specifically is similar for many cultures; where coming together as humans & spreading joy is the main focus. Boost feelings of happiness during celebrations by carrying rose quartz.

4. Take mini breaks away from crowded or overwhelming situations. Nothing wrong with going to the bathroom for a breather. Wear crystal bracelets to keep positive crystal energy on wherever you go during a social situation. Large display crystals are not good for bringing with you out of the home.

5. Appreciate the little things & enjoy your hearth/home when you have alone time. Home is where the heart is. Carry amethyst with you when leaving the home to reduce anxiety & feelings of stress.

Get creative with the crystals you work with on a daily basis. These crystals are simply recommendations. You may have a different experience with the crystals listed- do what feels right to you!
