Gemstones for Mental Strength

 Each month I was making a list of gems to create new bracelets. I generally observed how I felt about life at the time and named a theme. This month it was mental strength and focus.

Green Chinese jade

I am calm and see things clearly.


Dalmation Stone

I use my strengths to shape my world.


Emperor Jasper

I am in alignment with the universe.

I set personal boundaries when interacting with others.


Zebra Jasper

I am grounded and balanced. I am highly motivated.

Mookaite

Lapis Lazuli

I listen to my intuition. I am in charge of my life.

Using my Courage and Strength Journal When I was  confronted with the question, 'How do I feel emotionally , spiritually and physically?', I wondered what I could say that didn't just sound corny, like happy or sad. I really wanted to describe how I felt so I asked Chat GPT to give me some lists of feelings I could choose from. It did a great job of listing out lots of ideas and grouping them into useful sections. I can now go through and pick out ones that suit my mood at the time.
