It’s that time of year again, time for spring cleaning! There’s something so satisfying about looking around your spotless home with the windows open and the birds chirping; but that doesn’t make the cleaning part any easier.
Looking around at the things you’ve accumulated the past year can be overwhelming, and sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation to get the job done. Between work, school, the kids and the pets, who wants to spend the day cleaning? Well, with the right motivation, cleaning can actually be a blast!
With a little of your favorite music and a cold glass of iced tea, you can knock out the spring cleaning adventure in a few hours and spend the rest of the day relaxing in your newly sparkling abode.
If you’re still not feeling prepared for the big sweep, there are wonderfully motivating crystals that can fill your body with energy and determination. When you need a boost in any area of your life, crystals can provide the motivation you need to get it done. Crystals store insane amounts of helpful energy and exist to assist you on any journey in life.
Let’s explore the most effective crystals for lighting a cleaning fire under your bum.
Pyromorphite
Doesn’t pyromorphite have a bad-to-the-bone ring to it? That’s because it is. This stone amplifies the power of other crystals and provides balance for your internal motivation. It can be used to revitalize your attitude and provide the right environment within yourself to get things done.
It shifts the way you see your responsibilities and helps you discover the meaning behind them. This stone can help you see the light at the end of the responsibility tunnel.
Garnet
Garnet shares a similar power to pyromorphite in that it helps you see things more clearly. Did you know that telling yourself you don’t want to do something – as in cleaning the house – actually triggers a response in your brain that makes it harder to do?
Garnet can help you shift your thinking on your duties and learn to find the joy in them. It helps you tell yourself, “I can do this!”
Apatite
Apatite is not only beautiful, it’s like a little stone ninja, giving you the confidence and power to achieve your goals. It power washes any internal negativity and replaces it with the ability and desire to get the job done. It works to lift your vibrations, making your work flow more smoothly and giving you a sense of peace and happiness while doing it.
Apatite assists with manifestation, helping you become the catalyst for achieving your goals.
Lapis Lazuli
Lapis lazuli might be a bit of a tongue-twister, but this crystal is excellent at inspiring perseverance and helping you stay the course. When you feel emotionally cloudy or your mind is foggy, lapis lazuli helps clear a foggy mind and allows you to see things clearly.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the things you have yet to do, this stone can help you take things step by step and reduce your anxiety. This stone also helps reduce headaches caused by tension, which is useful when you’ve got a lot on your plate.
Hematite
This stone has earthy properties to help you stay grounded and ready to get things done. Hematite is yet another stone that will fill you with positivity, making your work easier and bringing you more satisfaction for having done it. Sometimes the hardest thing to combat is distraction – that feeling when your mind wanders no matter how hard you try to concentrate.
Hematite is awesome at combating these distractions. It’s an excellent stone for maintaining focus and keeping your eye on the goal.
Tourmaline
Tourmaline is a unique stone that comes in many colors. It deepens your level of tolerance, allowing you to withstand such torturous tasks as spring cleaning. It aids in endurance and helps you make it through long stretches of work.
Tourmaline enlivens your inspiration, a quality that will help you think of all the fun things you can do with your new, clean space. It can also liberate blocked energy, invigorating you from within.
Conclusion
While all of these stones are wildly useful for finding motivation, it is important to remember to program your stones, setting your intentions within them. Begin by cleansing the stone. The easiest way to cleanse your stone is with water, although smudging and even visualizing work as well.
The point here is to clear the psychic energy of the stone and inject your own energy into its being. Meditate with your stones, focusing on your requests and what you need their help with. By marrying your intention with the energy of the stone, you will unlock its most powerful qualities and traits, making it most effective.
When they’ve done their job, make sure to express gratitude to the universe for the healing energy these crystals have provided.
These stones will make spring cleaning a breeze, and get you on your way to an energized and comfortable home!
