For mothers, nurturing others often comes naturally. Caring for themselves, on the other hand, is often last on the list. How do I know this, because as a time-poor mum of five, I am so guilty of putting myself dead last. That's why the Self Care Blog was born, and why I am providing a heap of beautiful, fill-your-cup-to-overflowing ways to practice more self care every day. And using crystals is something any exhausted mum can do, as I am learning from my guest blogger Dannielle McAuliffe from Pure Magical Creations. She has been sharing with us all the wonderful, self-empowering ways you can start using crystals for motivation and your self-care plus, how these precious gemstones can seamlessly fit into your daily routine. Grab yourself a herbal tea, take a much needed five minute self care break, and let's get into it!
Motherhood is a miraculous journey, but the day-to-day demands of parenting can sometimes leave even the most dedicated mums in need of a little extra motivation. In this blog post, I am going to spill the tea on boosting your motivation and self-care through the healing power of crystals. You are about to discover the secret to how these magnificent gems can help you ignite your inner spark and become the motivated, self-assured mum you strive to be.
The Challenge of Self-Motivation For Mums
Mums are superheroes, but even superheroes need motivation. Balancing work, parenting, and personal goals can be a daunting task. Self-motivation is your secret weapon for conquering each day's challenges and achieving your dreams.
Crystals are like windows to your soul. They provide clarity, helping you focus on your goals and aspirations, and inspiring you to keep moving forward, even when life gets overwhelming. Crystals emit unique vibrations that can recharge your spirit. On days when you feel drained, holding a crystal in your hand can infuse you with positive energy, rekindling your inner fire and boosting your self-motivation. Incorporating crystals into your daily routine is an act of self-care, a reminder to nurture yourself, ensuring you have the strength and motivation to take care of your little ones.
Crystal Companions For Self-Motivation
Here are some of my personal top favourite crystals that I recommend to mothers for both motivation and self care. The third one is my personal go to crystal, but these are all very empowering and possess motivating and healing energy for tired, weary mums.
Citrine
The Stone of Success: Citrine is your golden ticket to success and abundance. Its vibrant energy keeps you motivated and enthusiastic about your goals. It can help dispel negative energy, blockages and self-doubt, making it easier to stay motivated and pursue your goals with confidence.
Carnelian
The Stone of Courage: Carnelian infuses you with courage and self-confidence. It's the ideal crystal for overcoming self-doubt and finding the motivation to take action. Carnelian’s energy is like a pep talk from a friend, pushing you to take action with confidence. When your motivation wanes, this stone reminds you of your inner courage and helps you face challenges head on.
Clear Quartz
The Amplifier: Clear quartz is a versatile crystal that acts as an energy amplifier. It is able to magnify the energy of other crystals. Pair it with Citrine or Carnelian to enhance their motivating properties.
Sunstone
The Joyful Energiser: Sunstone is a joyful and energising crystal. It has an uplifting energy that infuses your day with positivity and enthusiasm. This crystal is like a daily dose of sunshine, helping you stay motivated even during the most challenging moments of motherhood. It encourages a joyful approach to life’s demands and keeps you inspired to tackle tasks with enthusiasm.

Daily Routine: Crystals For Self-Motivation
Morning Spark
Begin your day with Citrine to ignite your motivation. Hold it during a few minutes of morning reflection. Set your intentions for the day ahead. Citrine’s vibrant energy will encourage enthusiasm and determination, giving you a positive outlook as you face the challenges of the day.
Wearable Motivation
Wear a piece of carnelian as jewellery or carry a small tumble in your pocket. When you feel self-doubt or hesitation creeping in, touch or hold the carnelian. Its energy will infuse you with courage and self-confidence, motivating you to take action, whether it’s tackling a challenging task or making a touch decision.
Workspace Magic
Place Clear Quartz on your desk or in your workspace. This crystal is an energy amplifier, making it the perfect partner for your chosen self-motivation crystal, like Citrine or Carnelian. Clear Quartz will magnify the energy of these stones, which will help you stay focused and determined as you work. It will also clarify your intentions, ensuring that you are on the right path to achieving your goals.
Throughout the Day
Carry or wear a piece of Sunstone during the day. Whenever you need a pick-me-up, hold the Sunstone in your hand and feel its joyful energy radiate through you. This crystal will help you maintain a positive outlook and stay motivated, even when faced with challenging moments in your daily routine.
Evening Renewal
Before winding down for the day, it is important to acknowledge your achievements. Take a moment of self-reflection – hold onto your Citrine and reflect on your achievements. Regardless of the size of the achievement, acknowledge your daily accomplishments. Citrine’s energy encourages you to recognise your progress which will help you boost your self-motivation and create a positive energy about your efforts.
Once you have taken a moment of self-reflection, meditate with clear quartz. As you are holding this crystal, use it to clarify your intentions for the following day. This practice will reinforce your motivation and keep you aligned with your goals, ensuring that you wake up each morning with a clear sense of purpose.
