Hola gorgeous goddess!
Let’s make a list. And come back to it every time we need to remember, mkay?
It doesn’t take long to remember just what luscious, shining goddesses we are.
50 Ways To Feel Like a Goddess Again!
Take a meditation-nap
Write yourself a permission slip… What do you need to give yourself permission for?
Create something just for you…
Have a green smoothie! Greens are good for the soul AND our moods!
Reach out to five people and tell them how much you love them and are grateful for them.
Me at 14… sunset on the farm…
Stand outside when it is sunset or sunrise… the colours and light will heal your chakras and energy…
Go for a drive to a place you haven’t been before… Even if it’s just a road, park, shop or river. Let your spirit see new things!
Switch off for the day and remember joys which are screen-free.
Write your Things to do This Life list.
Write a love letter to the Goddess in You.
Give away or donate three things you own that don’t make you feel magical.
Watch inspiring movies
… or watch ridiculous 1980′s comedies or silly romantic-comedies or kid’s movies… feel good movies!
Dream up, organise and host a gathering of goddesses.
Make a raw dessert.
Find a place you can have a campfire. You don’t have to camp out all night… just stay for the best bits of fire-gazing and marshmallow-burning!
Mark in your calendar an LBW. My hunky invented these – Lazy Bastard Weekends. A weekend where you have total permission to do as little as possible. In pyjamas. Then nap. It’s muchos healing and restorative!
Ask your Mama to tell you your birth story.
Whenever I am in need of healing, I read SARK’s Transformation Soup. It’s my favourite of hers to bring joy, healing & rejuvenation into my life. Sparkle SARKle!
Get a reading by someone you either know already, or who comes recommended. Readings always help me get back on track again when I lose my way.
Go swimming. Even if swimming just means sitting in the spa at your local health club. That totally counts!
Drink more water. Chances are you are dehydrated. Love your friendly water police!
Stop complaining for today. Start saying you are AWESOME… You will begin to feel it!
Give your crystals a good cleansing with water and salt, sunlight or moonlight.
Decide to forgive someone.
Just try not getting this song stuck in your head…
See if you can find music you were obsessed by as a kid or teen. (My sisters know all the words to the Lion King soundtrack! I was more in love with Rick Price, Ace of Bass and Joshua Kadison). Listen to them again… maybe even sing a long!
Make a pile of your favourite healing books and lie in amongst them.
Find a crystal and make it your healing crystal. Keep it in your pocket during the day, sleep beside it at night. Let it become a beloved companion! Amethyst, jade and green calcite are especially good healers, but trust your intuition as to what YOU need!
Thank someone from your past who was special to you. (I once wrote a letter to my fourth grade teacher Miss Collins thanking her for making a gifted and talented writers class and asking me along. That class meant so much to me!)
Make space in your life for magic to enter by doing some divine decluttering!
Go on a retreat. One that’s run by you, or a group one. Retreats are oh so good!
Organise a breakfast date with your favourite person.
Decide on a new hobby to play with that you haven’t tried before… Horse riding! Scrap booking! Disco bowling! Knitting! Ice skating! Creative writing! Ze possibilities are endless…
Cuddle a puppy or meow-meow.
Marry yourself.
Find your totem animal.
Go have a book picnic outside and get distracted by the clouds!
Create an altar that feels supportive, uplifting and inspiring… a collection of all the lovely things you want to remind yourself of…
Create a gift basket for your best friend.
Take 100 deep breaths. One after the other.
Write on a piece of paper what you are willing to let go of. Burn it.
Make one new friend for the day – who cares if it is online or offline. Connection is goooood!
Make your bedroom into a sanctuary.
Give yourself a superhero name for ze day! I am Queen Megatron! I can bounce with the power of a thousand pogo sticks and a hundred Tiggers!
Take yourself on an Artists Date for lunch!
Let someone else decide what book you should read next.
Paint an angel and put it beside your bed.
Write letters. The kind that need stamps. Apply stickers by ze boatload. Embrace your inner penpalling eleven year old self!
Play dress-ups.
Sleep in the moonlight – either keep your curtains open or sleep outside. Or if you can’t do either – step outside for a moment before going to bed just to say goodnight to Grandmother Moon.
Take a media break.
Write a list of your own favourite ways to heal and get sparkly again…
Ready? Set! Go! Time to create magic!!

Woo hoo! I love this list!
I thought I was going to print it and stick it on the wall, but i think i’m going to write lots of them on postits and hide them around the house… : )
Leonie, your list rocks. Full of wisdom, magic and fun!!
Leonie,
I love the little statuette of the pregnant goddess doing Jai Mudra (must be on your altar). Where can I get one?!
Blessings,
Mira
Great list! My list would include: reading a juicy novel, baking, or gardening.
Your list reminded my of picture I wanted draw. Perhaps I’ll get on that tonight.
Wow, I love, love this list, the universe must be talking to me because I was in need of a great big pick me up today and here it is, I feel better just reading it, now I’m going to go try a few! Thank you!!!!!
Great list! And a perfect time for it, I think many of us could use some extra goddess juice this time of year.
You mentioned sleeping under the moon. Many don’t realize that if a woman spends only 15 minutes a night (of course, the more the better) gazing at the moon her body’s cycle will begin to align to it.
I once was having periods every 2 or 3 weeks. Nothing the midwife suggested was helping until a Native American friends suggested the moon gazing.
Withing weeks my schedule was back to 28 days and after only a few months was completely aligned: ovulation during full moon and menstruation during full moon.
I also found that my other menses-related symptoms were much better, especially those with my moods. My theory is that when things are happening in synch with Nature’s forces, there is a healing flow rather than that grinding stop many of us feel sometimes during that time of month.
Anyhoo, that’s my tip ‘o the week
BB & LL,
Jenny
(Please forgive all my typos above…I’m having my period atm LOL. Would you believe people pay me to write?
Peace, Jenny
I love this list and your website! Thank you for creating such a wonderful site!! I blogged about you today: http://sheilabocchine.com/blog/2010/12/09/10-on-tuesday-ways-to-feel-like-a-goddess-again/
My bedroom is a sanctuary & I give myself permission to heal today. Thanks for some great ideas.
a great list …. I will definitely be referring to it when I need a boost
Thank you for this post. By coincidence, today I started a gratitude journal – I have committed to writing five things I am grateful for – and the reasons why, so that I don’t just end up with a meaningless list – every day for 21 days. My intention is that not only will I change my focus from the negative to the positive, but also that I will develop a habit of journal keeping. I also plan to print off your list and hang it where I can regularly see it – or like Kazari, place the ideas around the house to inspire me!! Thank you again for your inspiring post xxx
This was a magical way to start my day. Thanks for all the awesome ideas! My pampery activities today include going to a creative journaling class at the library and painting a prayer.
Great list! I’ll come back to it!
What a fantastic list! Totally going to copy these ideas down!
Haha, I loved the advice: Marry yourself!
Being single it might work very well. And just the thought of it will make me giggle all day…
Oh well, first things first: I have to get some flower and a ring to propose…
Leonie the energy and brilliance that exudes from you never fails to re-energise me. Your creative spirit and happy soul reconnects me to where I need to be x
