When starting out on my positive mindset journey I looked for ideas to improve my self-confidence and my trust in myself.

Dragon Vein Agate I feel balanced in mind body and spirit. Amethyst I am committed to living a healthy lifestyle that supports my wellbeing. Aquamarine I am at ease. I listen to my intuition. Carnelian I let go of my doubts and fears. Citrine I release my negative emotions around money. Kyanite I am aligned with the universe. Garnet I am resilient. I bounce back as I overcome hardships.

Sometimes it is nice to wear a bracelet made up of a combination of gemstones that follow a theme. I don't believe that the gems carry any power except for what we think and feel when we wear them. If I know that I have a collection of gemstones that historically represent a growth mindset I can use that to direct my thoughts and feelings. When I look at the bracelet I smile and think something positive or joyful. I have chosen this particular bracelet today because I want to embrace thinking clearly or releasing fear or facing a challenge. Each time I become aware of the bracelet I feel a surge of confidence in myself. For me, that is the magic of the gemstones. Today's collection of gems enables me to think about embracing change and growth and learning from my mistakes. Amazonite I welcome change with optimism and trust in new possibilities. Citrine I radiate positivity and find creative solutions to every challenge. Green Aventurine Every experience helps me grow, and I lea...

Do you believe that you can heal emotional wounds, increase self-love and find inner peace just by wearing particular gemstones? There is no proof that the gemstones on their own can do these things. But just because the results cannot be easily explained doesn't mean it is all coincidence. For years now I have been working at compiling a list of beautiful gemstones along with their metaphysical properties. I have created lists of affirmations that match the gems properties. I have written them out by hand. I have created assets of affirmation cards by typing out the affirmations. I have repeatedly typed out the affirmations and said them aloud while creating and researching. More recently I have been creating amazing stretch bracelets to support my positive thinking.  What I have discovered is that the affirmations and positive empowering thoughts that I have been thinking while I create have become part of me. I see the gem and I think the affirmations and positive thoughts relat...
