If you have read my blog you know I am generally an upbeat person. I try to focus on the positive because lets face it we all have the negative and it is easy to lose yourself in the Swamp of Sadness (if you don’t know that reference you NEED to watch Never Ending Story) This however does not mean that I am one of those naturally bubbly person. Now even people who know me, might be surprised by this. My positivity is something that is cultivated.
So when I need a little extra pick-me-up I always go for a bath. For one I love a bath. I use them for a lot of work but Blues-be-gone and Sick-be-gone are two of my favorite. For me the firs thing to do is draw a very hot bath. I also sprinkle maybe half a cup of my detox bath mix in the bath. I make a batch of this use it till its gone then make a new batch. You can see from the picture above I keep in a Ball canning jar. I just put all the ingredients in and shake it up. then I can pour it right from the jar.
Detox bath mix
1 cup epsom salt
1 cup baking soda
1 tablespoon ginger
Soak in the tub and let your body and mind relax. This is also a good time to do meditation. When you feel you are done with the bath. visualize all the blues and sadness being drawn out of your body and into the bath water.
Say these or similar words
“Blues and Sadness be gone from me!
Sadness and blues you must flee!
Happiness will now abound,
For I am wrapped in love from all around!“
Pull the stop and let the water leach the sadness out of your body and take it down the drain with it.
Towel off and go drink 2 glasses of water. You need to replenish
And if you read my post earlier about being in a broom closet, this is yet another spell you can do in the broom closet again even if you live with non-pagan friendly folk.
I agree with you a positive attitude is something we have to cultivate with things like what you describe here and things we have personally discovered turn our frowns upside down. Frequently pulling out my gratitude list when I’m being crabby helps a lot!
gratitude lists are so wonderful. I sometimes am forced to make a new one every 5 min. You know that kind of day. but gets me through and in the end it is all just moments. There will be good ones and bad ones it is all how you choose to look at it.
I will be using this! Thank you very much for sharing!

This is my first reblog. I am doing this more for me than for anyone else. I want a safe place to put this spell!
