Crystals for Motivation

January 26, 2022

Motivation is something we’re sure we could all do with a bit more of some days…whether you’re working on an important project at work or going for personal goals and targets. We all have our off days and those days we feel a little bit sluggish, no matter how much passion we have for the tasks at hand! If you’re wondering where your mojo has gone and how you can get it back, then maybe rather than turning to the coffee, fizzy energy drinks and usual methods, you could try something a little different to help get your ‘buzz’ back, and whilst we can’t promise crystals are the answer to everything, we really do believe they can help enhance our lives including helping give us motivation when we need it!

In more recent times, the role of gemstones has changed from that of warding off evil and misfortune to providing us with healthy, supportive ways of making it through everything life has to throw at us, through the good and the bad.

Many people carry or wear gemstones daily as a means of gaining an extra bit of confidence and motivation: and so here are Team Alyssa’s top gemstones for those days when all you need is a little boost to reach those exciting goals, or a little push to actually get up and about.

Carnelian

Our stunning Angel Feather & Carnelian necklace with twisted chain!

Hailing from Romania, India and the USA, the sunny stone Carnelian is often thought to be the “King” of motivation gemstones! With powerful abilities to encourage heightened energy and vitality while working on projects, if you feel like your project is slowing down for whatever reason, wearing Carnelian or keeping a piece of it in your pocket or next to you on your desk is said to help you overcome any hurdle and motivate you to work better, brighter and more efficiently too!

For anyone working on creative tasks or sport and fitness goals, this is the stone for you: perfect for training sessions where your full focus is required! It’s also perfect for those in creative industries and is favoured by our own Queen of sparkles, Alyssa. She always has a Carnelian on her drawing desk to help keep her focused when mapping out our collections for the year ahead.

Citrine

Our gorgeous Citrine tumble stones

Another gorgeously-sunny stone, Citrine helps us to live in the moment and focus on the journey rather than the destination: there are a lot of joys along the way that can be missed if all we do is focus on the end goal! Keeping a piece of Citrine at your side will act as a reminder of this as well as promoting a positive mindset and improved attitude towards difficult tasks.

We always see the glorious gemstone Citrine like a glass of refreshing lemonade. Not only does it look like gorgeous lemons because of its glorious yellow colour, but the benefits of having one by your side is believed to be similar to drinking a glass of lemonade- To give you a bit of energy and a mood boost!

Ruby

‘Uplifting’ Ruby in Fuchsite tumble stone

Did you know that Rubies aren’t just for those with a July birthday? A stone of passion and energy, Rubies are simply perfect for people looking to dig deep and stimulate passion for all of the projects they’re working on, as well as boosting your courage and confidence within yourself! No matter how much passion you have for all those personal projects, tiredness can set in sooner or later, and Rubies are just the stone to help you get the job done!

Ruby is a lovely choice for those long hours and overcoming difficulties- So if you can’t find a chunk of raw Ruby to place by your work desk, how about wearing a Ruby as a ring, necklace or earrings?

Amethyst

Our gorgeous Amethyst raw cluster stones

Last but by no means least, the popular gemstone Amethyst really helps those looking to develop a more positive outlook on life and take effective action that moves you closer to your goals! A wonderful stone for calming nervous energy and improving focus, Amethyst helps you set goals and what it takes to succeed. It is also simply perfect for calming anxious minds and energies, ideal for creating an inspiring and focused environment. If you pop an Amethyst by your bedside, it can also help rid bad dreams and give you a restful sleep, which will in turn make you more focused for the day ahead.

Whether you choose just one or a few of these stunning, inspiring and motivating gemstones, we hope you will find comfort in the incredible healing powers and properties that crystals can bring into your life. Oh, and don’t forget to regularly cleanse and charge your crystals to keep them working at their very best all year round (take a look at our selenite dishes designed for cleansing and charging!)
