How To Live A Charmed Life

A definition of charmed is: (of a person’s life) unusually lucky or happy as though protected by magic. 

From my own experience is a list of ways you can live a charmed life. Remember to honor yourself always and don’t forget to StAy WeIRd!

Stay Curious

Embrace whatever sparks your imagination and gives you a sense of wonder. Continue to be a student in life and to learn new things. 

Maybe you are interested in an array of different topics or maybe it’s one or two things that really light up your mind. Love the things you love and know that there is always more to discover. 

There have been times when I kept studying a particular subject for days just for fun. The things that I learned gave me the sense of exploration that my brain needed. 

Be Delighted

When you love something, make sure that you are really really enjoying it. This could be as simple as loving strawberry waffles. Eat the waffle you love but enjoy it to the fullest. Relish in the feelings of joy it brings you. 

Maybe you love the feeling of accomplishing a hard task. Don’t just skim over your success and move onto the next thing. Truly celebrate your achievement and feel totally proud of yourself. 

Perhaps it’s the quiet moments alone that satisfy your soul. I have enjoyed nights where I lay alone on my roof-top gazing at the vast night sky. Close your eyes in these blissful moments and breathe in the blessings that you are experiencing. 

Practice Gratitude 

When we practice gratitude, we can better accept our situations in life and keep a positive mind-set. Even when things get really hard in life, there is usually something to be grateful for. I find from experience that being grateful for what you have in this life creates more to be grateful for. 

When life feels really tough, challenge yourself to think of 5 things you are grateful for and see how it changes your attitude. When things are going good in life, remember to be grateful for what you have, because life is always changing and you never know what tomorrow will look like. 

Listen to the Signs 

I am a firm believer that the divine will send you signs to help and encourage you on your path. These signs can seem big or small. 

An occurrence of repeating numbers, the symbol of a particular animal following you everywhere you go, or a seemingly random statement from a stranger that holds personal meaning for you in your current situation. 

Learning to recognize the signs will help guide you through life and give you an indication of being in the right place at the right time. 

Connect

Allow yourself to connect with the people, places, and things that resonate with your soul. Have you ever met someone you get along with perfectly and you could talk to for hours? After you do, you feel inspired, rejuvenated, and content. These interactions are good for the soul. 

Perhaps you have a favorite place to visit, it could be a park, a coffee shop, or your grandparent’s house. Maybe it’s nature itself that makes you feel aligned on the inside. Take the time to connect with these people and places and the magick will come to you.

Create

I believe that when we create, we are doing what we were made to do. Creation is absolute magick! Be it music, art, a garden, a cozy home, or a meal, the possibilities are endless. Creating is like a human superpower and the more we use it, the more connected to the divine and ourselves we are. 

You don’t have to be creative to create. You can create laughter in others, a happy or peaceful moment for yourself, or a solution to a problem. 

Go with the Flow 

Life tends to flow like a winding river. Some parts of it feel calm and steady, other parts feel rough and tretcherous. There will always be ups and downs and things are just a little bit better when we can be okay with that. Remember to see the big picture and know that the bad times don’t last forever. 

When we go with the flow, we end up right where we are meant to be. Sometimes life will even surprise you in a pleasant way and lead you to something better than you imagined.

Understand Intentions

You just can’t live an especially charmed life if you don’t have good intentions. Good intentions show to the universe that you are open to receiving good things. The love and kindness you put out into the world comes back to you in some way, shape, or form. 

It also helps to stay in tune with the intentions of those around you. It’s important to recognize someone with negative intentions and it’s also important to recognize those who have good intentions, even when they may unintentionally hurt you. That being said, it’s wise to not take everything so personally. 

Have Faith

It can be a beautiful thing to have faith in something divine, whether it’s a god or goddess, or the whole universe itself. Though it’s not always easy, it is key to have faith in yourself. Trust in your own instincts and intuition. 

Listen to that little voice in the back of your head that tries to warn you of certain situations or tries to guide you to something integral. The better your relationship is to your inner self, the more lucky and charmed your life will become.
