What I find helpful is putting it on my phone calendar or regular calendar. Put like from 8:00 -8:30 etc. Schedule it like you would any appointment. It really does work. Good luck.
Happy belated Mabon. I’m feeling this. I’ve let my witchery slide with all the pressures of adulting instead of using them to help ease life. I also stop using my planner/journal when life gets stressful. They are what I should be clinging too. Thank you for opening the conversation. You are not alone.
Yes! I think many of us deal with this and feel guilty. I try to focus on one or two things that will make the sabbats special for me and not try and expect to be able to do everything! Anything can count! It is usually a season too, not just a specific day for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and vulnerability! BB.
My life changed when it became a priority. That being said, I am working tonight on Mabon so I'm celebrating on Thursday with a Thanksgiving dinner and a fire with the hubs. We do what we can when we can. The thing that can help is to remember above everything else you are a witch. Your a witch before a wife, a witch before a mother. Much like being human. It is who you are, not what you are. You are a witch regardless of whatever other role you play in life. When you remember that it will come easier. Sitting at the altar is nice. More than nice, but your a witch away from the altar too. Be witching when you clean, or cook. Put magic into that. Be witching when your doing self care or caring for others. There is magic that can be done there. Soon you will be witching without even thinking about it. It just happens. We should start getting together for the sabbats, even if its not on the Sabbat. I'm off until Tuesday. Come over for a fire.
I’m totally in the same boat as you. I need to make my practice a priority. 1. I don’t know where to start or have the time. Second when I do have the time. I don’t feel like it. Or my anxiety is up and I can’t turn my brain off. I know damn well my practice does help my depression and anxiety.
I feel the same way. I’ve been practicing for years but I forget that I can turn to the craft or my deities to help when I’m feeling out of sorts or lost. My pain gets the best of me most of the time and I put things off or push myself too hard and then I’m out for awhile. But I do miss the spell work and things I used to do more.
Hello fellow night owl. One thing I've been trying to do is just hold myself accountable to myself and the gods when I say I'm going to do something/offer something for them. I might have a goal of when to time it around the moon or calendar but then I just give myself room to complete the task on my own schedule. So if I don't manage to do something *on* yule but still do it eventually I've at least completed what I promised to.
Even self care is work sometimes 🤣 I've been struggling with this a bit as well. Even though I know it's good for me and I feel so much better after and even love the process of practicing, I just don't have the energy for it. I think that's okay sometimes! Practice when you can dont force yourself 🖤🍁🍂 happy Mabon!
