Crystals-optional. Attitude required.

Someone out there just said, “your energy is off”—while wearing pajama pants, no bra, and a full face of contour.

Honestly? They’re probably right. And before you sage your whole house or impulsively buy a moon lamp off Instagram, let’s get one thing straight:

You’re not too old to glow up.
You’re too wise for the fluff.

This isn’t about starting over. It’s about recalibrating—because your energy isn’t gone, it’s just buried under 17 browser tabs, 3 emotional responsibilities you didn’t ask for, and a Target receipt long enough to serve as a yoga mat.

Let’s fix it.

✨ 1. Mantra Check: What Are You Actually Telling Yourself?

You’ve heard of affirmations, but have you audited your internal monologue lately? That little voice in your head—does she sound like a hype woman or a hater?

If she’s been whispering things like “you’re behind” or “too late for that,” she needs a timeout.

Here’s the shift: When I started replacing my silent self-doubt with tiny, specific mantras—like “I don’t chase, I align” before client calls or “I bring calm to chaos” before walking into a messy house—my entire energy changed. And when I shared these with my community? The DMs started rolling in. One reader said her mantra “I take up space with ease” helped her stop apologizing for existing in meetings. That’s the power of a rewired script.

Try this:

“I’m not starting over. I’m leveling up with experience.”

🔋 2. Crystal Energy, Minus the Woo-Woo

No chanting required. Crystals aren’t just aesthetic—they’re energetic anchors. But you don’t need a PhD in sacred geometry to use them.

Try this real-life approach:

  • Black Tourmaline in your bra – Known for its protective properties, this stone is like energetic armor. Perfect when you’re walking into crowded places or high-stress environments (like the PTA meeting from hell).
  • Citrine on your desk – This sunny crystal is all about abundance, confidence, and creativity. Great for career moves, email marathons, or days when imposter syndrome tries to RSVP.
  • Selenite on your nightstand – A natural energy cleanser, selenite clears negative vibes while helping you reset emotionally and spiritually before bed.

💫 3. The Chakra Realignment That Doesn’t Involve Yoga Pants

You don’t need a yoga mat to realign—you need self-awareness and a little intentional breathing. Here’s a deeper energy scan to check in with your body and spirit:

  • Unmotivated, sluggish, or doubting yourself? That’s your Solar Plexus Chakra (above your navel). Place citrine or tiger’s eye here. Breathe deeply and repeat: “I am confident and capable.”
  • Scattered, anxious, or having decision fatigue? That’s your Third Eye Chakra (between the eyebrows). Try amethyst or lapis lazuli. Close your eyes, focus on clarity, and repeat: “I trust my intuition.”
  • Saying yes when you mean no? Feeling like you can’t speak up? That’s the Throat Chakra. Try blue lace agate or aquamarine. Practice saying something small but honest. Affirm: “My voice matters.”
  • Feeling unsupported or unsafe? You may be out of alignment with your Root Chakra (base of the spine). Use red jasper or hematite. Ground yourself barefoot or visualize roots growing from your feet.
  • Feeling disconnected or lonely? That’s your Heart Chakra. Rose quartz or green aventurine can help. Breathe into your chest space and repeat: “I am open to love and connection.”

Instead of spiraling, take 90 seconds to breathe into that space. You don’t need to be perfect—just present.

🧃 4. The Energy Reset Routine (Real Edition)

Let’s not act like a bubble bath fixes everything. Here’s a glow-up routine that actually resets your vibe:

  • Drink water like you’re in a skincare commercial
  • Put your phone on Do Not Disturb (even for 15 minutes)
  • Write down what you actually need (and what’s draining you)
  • Take 5 deep breaths with your shoulders down
  • Add one beautiful thing to your space—a candle, a crystal, a handwritten note from yourself
  • Play your “main character” playlist and move your body like no one’s watching
  • Light a scented candle or essential oil and let your senses reset the scene

Repeat as needed. Especially on Tuesdays.

💥 The Real Flex Is Reclaiming Your Energy

Remember that pajama-clad contour queen from the beginning? She wasn’t wrong—your energy was off. But she also reminded you that noticing is step one. Reclaiming it? That’s where the magic happens.

You don’t need to be 22 to glow. You need to be self-aware, intentional, and just rebellious enough to say, “Actually, I’m resetting.”

Reclaiming your energy isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a lifelong glow-up practice—done in Target parking lots, during afternoon lattes, and while removing yet another unnecessary emotional load off your plate.

So if your vibe’s been off? That’s okay. You’re not broken. You’re just rebooting.
