The hardest part for manifestation for me at first, was discovering who I am, and what I want. Not what others expect from me, not who they want me to be. I had to learn that ..Then from there I can decide who I am and what I want (aka what is in my own world for my own taking) ❤ You can manifest living in a NYC apartment all you want, but if it doesn’t actually work out with the way you are, or who you will be, the doors wont open for you. You explained it perfectly 🎄❤ that’s why I stopped interacting with the news so much, unless it is actively affecting my life, and I can affect it as well..
One story I remember There was a village who kept wishing for water But it never came and they yelled to the skies WHY WONT YOU COME And the sky answered back “you never built the holes to catch the water, why would I waste all my rain on you?”
I found the best way to achieve my goals was to get away from the modern life thats been centered around consumerism. Its really bad here in the us, like to the point it drives people nuts and is causing a mental health crisis fueled by stress and substance abuse to cope with the stress. My husband and i own a house in the country, and have owned it for 10 years, but we always used to take the kids into the city to go do things, and as a result, we neglected our home and property. Now that my husband works from home, we decided to avoid the city unless we need something, and to focus on living a more natural lifestyle. Now we take the kids hiking or out fishing and camping, or even just on a nice drive. Or even spending time on our own property. This past year, we turned almost our whole property into either different themed gardens, or lush pasture for the horse and goat. So now we have many little gardens tucked away or beautiful feilds on our own property to hang out in. Its funny because slowing down was actually the key to speeding up if that makes sense. I sleep better, my house stays clean, i lost weight, and we've been saving like $2k or $3k a month because we aren't spending. Even my kids are even behaving better with the change which has led to a better parent child relationship. Haha, im one of those unicorn parents now whose teenagers actually want to hang out with them over being on tic tok lol. The best part is my marriage has gotten so much better in ALL aspects 😊. It wasnt bad before, but the last 9 months or so have been on an entire new level. We've been married for over a decade and have never been this close, even when dating. Its really been crazy seeing my whole family do better just by staying away from the consumerism.
I wake up so early and now my family somehow wakes up before me again🙃 I miss my quiet mornings.. I have a kinder world app as well, I'm gonna go check on my current plant now hehe
Oh noooo hahaha luckily my kids don't roll out of bed until 06:30 😅 I hope you can find pockets of me-time for yourself! And yeeees water that plant hihi
My wish came true! It is a big birthday for me today and I was thinking last night how fun it would be if Bex made a new video and ta da!! Thank you! Long time viewer, first time commenting. Have a wonderful day!
Awwww lovely! Happy birthday - I hope you can find lots of magic in your day and take time to take good care of yourself (and maybe treat yourself to too much cake hihi). Consider this video dedicated to you and your special day 💖 And thank you for leaving a comment!
Especially after having babies I have found it near impossible to roll right out of Christmas break (which is not very restful anymore) into a strict goal oriented January. I actually realized that January is such a hibernation time and prefer to use it to plan out my year and goals, and then begin the big work after Imbolc. Maybe I'm just lazy but this is becoming my rhythm that feels more true to the seasons.
Love everything about this, I hope to have a gentle and calm December, I usually end the 'year' on my birthday which is December 18, 1 week before Christmas, and make all my resolutions and do all my reflection before I turn a year older, and then for the last two weeks of the year just relax and coast away mentally because I have already done all that business. Now that I'm in my 40s, I don't feel the need to be so introspective and goal-oriented, I'm happier just to try to enjoy life and make good memories.
I have been allowing myself to craft or make art regularly throughout the week. It has helped my soul. While watching this I made a felt St Barbara branch ornament. Even though I live in a tropical climate and its a couple days late, I wanted to participate in the 21 days of Yule.
That sounds wonderful! And I love the idea of a St Barbara's ornament - ties in nicely into another prompt in fact 😅 I hope you enjoy the 21 days til Yule!
Me too!! I've been using the paints up that I was too busy to use all summer long, now that its dark out, i can reflect in my mind what i long for again (flowers, beach, gardening) and maybe even some random winter vibes ones if anything pops out at me!
What a beautiful video (as always), and so much great advice! I will watch again and take notes - and send this to my friend who is just now learning about manifesting. She is young and trying to get her shizz together. I'm happy to help, and this video is brilliant for that! I haven't been watching as many videos, so I'm behind on yours. OMG, your children are the most adorable little people EVER!! ❤❤❤
During Yule, I usually find myself trying to organise many things and activities. This year I really want to take it slow. I decided to stay inside and eat simple food and just relax.
Couldn't agree more about the power if starting now rather than waiting for an arbitrary calendar date. And your thoughts on daily choices really resonated. Grateful for you! (I'm going to be adding an afternoon cup of tea to my practice...a sweet little pause between when work ends and the evening starts.)
May I ask a question here? Can anyone please recommend an herbal tea that I could purchase online or in store. Sadly, I don't have my own herb garden yet, or any dried herbs to really get the best...😪I'm thinking maybe one for calming my anxiety, and I'd love to find one for weight loss!!!!❤
To be honest, I'd love nothing more than to be able to get some of the weight loss tea that you made in your video! I'd prefer to be able to purchase from someone on Etsy perhaps that made it themselves you know? But any trusted suggestion I would greatly appreciate❤
As someone who doesn’t have children, but is 30, I can’t imagine how hard it is trying to maintain a routine for yourself, when they are your priority..you probably have to juggle priorities so much, because yours is actually just as important, because if you need to be able to connect with yourself..to be able to take care of them. ❤ you will be okay. I felt this way this year, even without children of my own..I do have to juggle my own self care and routine now with community service I signed up for..who knows how it will go..but thanks for the reminder that I should think about it a bit 🤪
Bruh! Your little boy is bilingual! That's freaking great! Good job on the great parenting. His snow bear was cute and so was his explanation. And I remember when you had your little girl. She's so freaking big now! I swear you had her just yesterday. Also, thank you for this video. I'm going to watch this again in a few months to make sure I stay on track.
Technically tri-lingual but that is because we do speak 3 languages in this house (due to my Partners German being really bad and my Spanish being less than great - so we need to resort to English xD). And yeeees, they grow up so fast! Remeber, the new year is just a date in the calender - you can always start new :)
I came to this conclusion on my own after reflecting on all the good and bad things from last year, and then considering how I wanted to change or correct those things this year. I need to do things for me this year and not everyone else. After last year, I felt used up and like a pushover, the exact opposite of how I felt leaving 2022. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who needs this type of change and relaxation. I’ve planned more time for breaks and hobbies as well as study and fitness; and like you said, consistency is key. If that means cutting toxic people and habits so that I can remain consistent, I will. And I wish anyone else luck that is tackling the same issues as me. This video coupled with your New Year’s happiness video we’re just the push that I needed to get motivated and start moving forward with these plans. Happy New Year, and thank you so much for the advice that you release on this channel. It has been very helpful!
Thank you, I needed to hear this so much, things have been tough for a few years and I've lost my way a little, I hope you have a wonderful time over the holidays 💙
I needed this video as fresh water in a desert. Thank you very much, sweetheart. Here looking for a setting to find out Who do I want to be and how do I want to live my life. And although I have always been half way clear about It, these days I felt a bit overwhelmed about the subject because shit is getting real. Thank you very much for helping me to cope with It so gently. 😘😘😘😘😘
Thank you so much for being you! You have saved me ton of money on therapy. I look forward to your videos so much. I have to always watch them twice. Once to hear what you are saying an listening to the wonderful music, Then I watch it again to see the fantastic estics in your filming. Both are excellent and I don't want to miss anything. This winter I plan on being more creative with small projects in wood, steel and clay to keep the winter dull drums away. Thank you again. BTW you look wonderful, keep it up and I might have to watch with both my hands full. LOL. Seriously, you look great.
Great tips, Bex, I've put on a few pounds recently and becoming a bit of a bloater, lol Have to bounce myself around my local nature reserve for some exercise, lol Blessed be ❤ ☮️ 🙏
I was determined to make this the year I got off my a*** and tackled things, so I used a printable habit tracker. It's been quite helpful but the main thing that helped was small tasks, as and when the time was right. Weight loss is still not happening but daily piano practice is now a thing, and the results are beginning to show. I love the idea of making this month a time to manifest; my aim is to sort the things I want to get in place next year....some kind of planner will be very useful 😁😁
This is the exact message I need right now! More sleep is definitely something that I need too. Thanks Bex for the reminder to stop and take a look at self care and slowing down in this season when busyness is so encouraged .
Merry Meet! Lots of points. I want snow... LOL When did little munchkinette get so big?! then there's that little man. He is growing so fast! You are such a good mommy. That treat looked yummy. I will have to re-watch as I didn't hear anything you said while you were making the bag snowflakes. I was fascinated!!!! Then there's that man in your life whom we seldom see. Your personalities seem well-suited. Your children are so blessed to have you both. Thanks for talking about Manifestation. Love and Blessings!
I watched this video this morning, and I just had to watch it again to hear all your good ideas because during the first viewing I was so distracted by all the beautiful snow and your beautiful home and your beautiful family!!!
Again, such a wonderful video. Thank to your recommendation during a workhop, I had a proper night time routine, and my sleep was so much better. Now, a year later, I am back on my phone in the evening, and who would have thought, I have issues falling asleep. So, thank you so much for the reminder, I will try to get my night routine back. :)
I’m choosing to be done falling into the expectations of this commercialized happy time of year…. I’m not mad…or revengeful …or rebellious… For once in my life I am being honest about how I feel about the whole stigma and pretense that everyone puts on just to get through or show off….I’m choosing Grinchhood and not feeling a bit sorry for it. 🤷🏼♀️
to be fair: This was the easiest craft project ever! It took about 10 minutes to make 7 of them and I usually am suuuuper annoyed and impatient with everything I craft xD
Those snowflakes are so stunning! Did you work off a tutorial? I'd love to make some for my own home! (as always, love the video! what a lovely message to hear at this time of year
Thank you! And they are soooo easy to make too. You just glue paper sandwich bags together (the close side is the base - you need about 14 bags for one star) then you cut whatever shapes you enjoy in and unfold. Glue together the last two or use paper clips.
Thank you for this lovely video, it is so comforting to watch you create in your kitchen, you do a wonderful job of filming it. Also appreciate your very wise words about change. BBxoxox
Everything you say/ come up with makes sense ,you background gives you the grounding to give the correct information, we loved your post, your children are just gorgeous, and for once I am not Jealous of your snow as we in England had nearly a week of it,( its all gone for the moment) but is due back, hope you enjoyed the sledging Lol I send warm Yule blessings to you and your family from our cottage in the English woods 😊❤
Positive affirmations while getting to sleep with light music in the background I'm finding my normally blah dark months moods lightening up. Also a good brisk walk in nature daily. 🌞
Thank you for make the most wonderful videos I enjoy them immensely. The message in this episode is just what I needed❤️💚❤️. Again Thank you and a very blessed Yule to you and your family.
I love this video! I love planning but personally I find that December is too early for planning. I use the end of the year for slowly wrapping up all the things that I still want to do this year in order to start the new year with a cleared up desk and agenda. Then I will dedicate the first week of January to start the planning. And because I live in the Northern Hemisphere, a lot of things that I plan cannot be done until the snow melts, weather turns and spring comes in April, I will have months more to plan those things. So start of the year will be spend on projects that prepare for me for the summer months to come or the ones that are more comfy to be done at home. I feel having a long planning period and matching the plans to the time of the year helps me with being successful. Like if I want to get better sleep, I will focus on that during the dark months when I'll be feeling sleepy all the time anyway and if I want to focus on outdoor activities, I'll plan those for the spring, summer and autumn. This also helps me not to feel guilty of not focusing all the time on all of the things I want to improve.
This is the New Year's video everyone should be watching! You share so much wisdom. Thank you for this fresh take, and a New perspective on being who you want to be! Only we know who we want to be, therefore only we can achieve that by working towards it. I feel it's time to step out of autopilot, and make our decisions consciously
An awesome video for Solstice and Yule! I'm a therapist for kids, and I'm going to quote you about making the choices that the person you want to be would make!
I've been working on more consistent stretching after my gym sessions.. and just rest wich is something I just don't do.. my meditation is more clear because of this.. I hope you have amazing yule and blessings thank you for the amazing videos as always.. so greatful for you ❤
Du bist ein Engel, Hexe 😂❤🎉 Das ist mein Thema und du machst es wunderschön. Danke ❤😊❤ Ich LIEBEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEINE ART ZU SEIN. So hat Gott uns gemeint: Schön und liebevoll, egal, welche Berufung und welches Interesse wir leben. ❤🎉❤ Danke ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just found your channel and I am obsessed! I love everything about it! So inspirational and so much knowledge in these videos. Are you going to be doing more videos on winter solstice? Also could u please show some of ur stones or crystals? The meaning of them along with jewelry. I love all your jewelry!! ✨
I’m going to try to go for a walk every day. Around the block is all it takes! Also, I’ve been LOVING the 21 Days of Yule prompts! I missed one day’s prompts (couldn’t decide what branch to trim for St. Barbara), but I’ve done everything else. I’m looking forward to seeing them in my inbox each day!
Wise words Bex and really good advice. We are kind of programmed into thinking that things have to be hard and enduring for us to make positive change. It often needs just a small change like a small pebble creates big circles on the lake's surface.
One of my favorite new years 'superstition' In Japanese culture, a hatsuyume (Japanese: 初夢) is the first dream one has in the new year. Traditionally, the contents of such a dream would foretell the luck of the dreamer in the ensuing year. In Japan, the night of December 31 was often passed without sleeping, so the hatsuyume is often experienced during the night of January 1; the day after the night of the "first dream" is also known as the hatsuyume. This day is January 2 in the Gregorian calendar, but was different in the traditional Japanese calendar. It is considered to be particularly good luck to dream of Mount Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant. I had a dream last new year, it was in a dark art gallery full of thousands of paintings and they were all 'golden ratio' art, but they were also distorted...I never understood the dream! The continuation is yon-sen, go-tabako, roku-zatō (四扇、五煙草、六座頭; 4. Fan, 5. Tobacco, 6. Blind acupressurer). I'm pretty sure the last one, #6, I had a dream of, but not on new years, and he was blind because he was also some super scary demon in a dungeon XD
Hi Bex! I’m so glad you posted this lovely reminder. I’ve been struggling with too much and the spirit of the season has been eluding me. Your video, as usual, has inspired me. Your family is absolutely beautiful. Thanks again for sharing. 🥰🎄❄️⛄️
Thank you for the lovely video 🥰The kiddos are so adorable 🥰🥰Love the crafts you and your son were making and it is so cute that your Son is always so Happy when he tastes your cooking 😊Much love and Yule Blessings ❤❤
I love the idea of starting a new habit now rather then in the new year. Mine is going to be journaling and self reflection everyday. As you said, even if it’s just one line! I’ve been following you, Bex, since the start of my spiritual journey (this October) and your videos have been life changing for me. I am so very grateful. I hope to be your friend one day and take part in your amazing retreats. Thank you so much 🥰😘. Mallory xoxo
Thank you a lot Bex ! I was feeling so lost without knowing what I wanted for my life and I find in your video a message that really finds me and is so helpful right now !! So thanks for that and have a beautiful winter and end of the year !❤
Taking time for myself. Using my time wisely. Thank you. I am really self reflecting on what I really want for the coming year.😊🌟 Thank you for this video.😊🌟🦄
What a wonderful reminder. I teach manifesting and meditation courses and I still forget to do these resets for myself. I love the idea of keeping the cards on the pillow. much more likely to do a reading ❤
I needed this so bad! Everything you said about yourself this last year felt like you were talking about me! I will watch this video again and again now as a reminder and positive reinforcement! Thank you so much for this offering! I love your channel so much!❤🤍🖤🎄
Thanks a lot for this video, love it as much as all the videos you share 💖💖💖 It makes me feel great and I can feel that I can change and get the live I want ❤ Gracias💖🎄✨✨ tu marido es español? 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏼☺️
Ich liebe deine Videos! Was war dieser Haferflocken-Apfel-Crumble-Kuchen? Sah sehr lecker aus!! Gute Tipps, zusehen wie andere basteln, kleine Kinder in Schneeanzügen 😍...was will man mehr? Und bester Schneebär ever!!
I just stumbled upon your videos today and they are magical. Im watching all of your yule videos and noticed the little heart sachet spell bag. I was wondering if you made them by hand and if you had any videos or posts about how to make them!, id love to make them with my friends this holiday thank you,,!
Thank you! The knitted one? My grandma made it and always kept a piece of lavander soap in it to make her clothes smell nice - you actually hang it in the closet :)
Support your gentle wintering habits with www.aurahealth.io/witchescookery05 ❤ what habit are you choosing, and how do you plan on sticking with it? 😊❄️
The hardest part for manifestation for me at first, was discovering who I am, and what I want. Not what others expect from me, not who they want me to be. I had to learn that ..Then from there I can decide who I am and what I want (aka what is in my own world for my own taking) ❤ You can manifest living in a NYC apartment all you want, but if it doesn’t actually work out with the way you are, or who you will be, the doors wont open for you. You explained it perfectly 🎄❤ that’s why I stopped interacting with the news so much, unless it is actively affecting my life, and I can affect it as well..
One story I remember
There was a village who kept wishing for water
But it never came and they yelled to the skies WHY WONT YOU COME
And the sky answered back “you never built the holes to catch the water, why would I waste all my rain on you?”
Sitting near my window, with my furbabies, and my hot coffee near by, I sips. 2023. My favourite winter habit. 😊
I found the best way to achieve my goals was to get away from the modern life thats been centered around consumerism. Its really bad here in the us, like to the point it drives people nuts and is causing a mental health crisis fueled by stress and substance abuse to cope with the stress. My husband and i own a house in the country, and have owned it for 10 years, but we always used to take the kids into the city to go do things, and as a result, we neglected our home and property. Now that my husband works from home, we decided to avoid the city unless we need something, and to focus on living a more natural lifestyle. Now we take the kids hiking or out fishing and camping, or even just on a nice drive. Or even spending time on our own property. This past year, we turned almost our whole property into either different themed gardens, or lush pasture for the horse and goat. So now we have many little gardens tucked away or beautiful feilds on our own property to hang out in. Its funny because slowing down was actually the key to speeding up if that makes sense. I sleep better, my house stays clean, i lost weight, and we've been saving like $2k or $3k a month because we aren't spending. Even my kids are even behaving better with the change which has led to a better parent child relationship. Haha, im one of those unicorn parents now whose teenagers actually want to hang out with them over being on tic tok lol. The best part is my marriage has gotten so much better in ALL aspects 😊. It wasnt bad before, but the last 9 months or so have been on an entire new level. We've been married for over a decade and have never been this close, even when dating. Its really been crazy seeing my whole family do better just by staying away from the consumerism.
I wake up so early and now my family somehow wakes up before me again🙃 I miss my quiet mornings.. I have a kinder world app as well, I'm gonna go check on my current plant now hehe
Oh noooo hahaha luckily my kids don't roll out of bed until 06:30 😅 I hope you can find pockets of me-time for yourself! And yeeees water that plant hihi
My wish came true! It is a big birthday for me today and I was thinking last night how fun it would be if Bex made a new video and ta da!! Thank you! Long time viewer, first time commenting. Have a wonderful day!
Awwww lovely! Happy birthday - I hope you can find lots of magic in your day and take time to take good care of yourself (and maybe treat yourself to too much cake hihi). Consider this video dedicated to you and your special day 💖 And thank you for leaving a comment!
Love and thanks ❤
Happy birthday ❤🎉 Maybe your wish was strong enough to cause the sponsorship delayed upload 😮 🪄
Happy Birthday 🎂

That is what my friend recommended… wake up and accomplish things early in the day… take the afternoon to do more relaxing things.
Stunning video. The camera work alone is magic!
Thanks a lot! 💖
What a beautiful video (as always), and so much great advice! I will watch again and take notes - and send this to my friend who is just now learning about manifesting.

Thank you! And surprisingly easy and quick to make 😊
Thank you, I needed to hear this so much, things have been tough for a few years and I've lost my way a little, I hope you have a wonderful time over the holidays 💙
Wishing you lots of clarity and mindful moments this coming year to find back to a piece of the path that is easy to walk ☺️💪

Ahaha loved this comment 🤣 and thank you so much for the kind words! And handicrafts are truly a lovely way to spend dark winter nights 🌙
Great tips, Bex, I've put on a few pounds recently and becoming a bit of a bloater, lol
Have to bounce myself around my local nature reserve for some exercise, lol
Blessed be ❤ ☮️ 🙏
Hehe at least pretty nature might keep you inspired to walk some extra steps 😆💪💪💪
Your home life is inspiring. Cooking, baking, crafting and decorating plus outdoor activities.
Thank you so much 😊

PS watching you play in the snow while giggling, was perhaps my favorite part
I watched this video this morning, and I just had to watch it again to hear all your good ideas because during the first viewing I was so distracted by all the beautiful snow and your beautiful home and your beautiful family!!!
Awwww thank you!
Again, such a wonderful video.
Thank to your recommendation during a workhop, I had a proper night time routine, and my sleep was so much better. Now, a year later, I am back on my phone in the evening, and who would have thought, I have issues falling asleep. So, thank you so much for the reminder, I will try to get my night routine back. :)
Put that phone down and plan your magical evening right now!! :D
❤❤ happy winter ❄️❄️❄️❄️ this was a needed reminder for my soul
Happy winter ❄️☺️🌲 so glad you enjoyed it
I’m choosing to be done falling into the expectations of this commercialized happy time of year…. I’m not mad…or revengeful …or rebellious… For once in my life I am being honest about how I feel about the whole stigma and pretense that everyone puts on just to get through or show off….I’m choosing Grinchhood and not feeling a bit sorry for it. 🤷🏼♀️
Hihi embrace it!! Grinch away 😁
Your paper snowflakes are really elaborate! You are so talented and patient. Just beautiful!
to be fair: This was the easiest craft project ever! It took about 10 minutes to make 7 of them and I usually am suuuuper annoyed and impatient with everything I craft xD
Your video came at exactly the right time for me, thank you so much. The goblins are adorable!
I'm so glad! ☺️
Those snowflakes are so stunning! Did you work off a tutorial? I'd love to make some for my own home! (as always, love the video! what a lovely message to hear at this time of year
Thank you! And they are soooo easy to make too. You just glue paper sandwich bags together (the close side is the base - you need about 14 bags for one star) then you cut whatever shapes you enjoy in and unfold. Glue together the last two or use paper clips.
I absolutely love and agree with everything you’ve said…. REALLY needed to hear this! Thank you!!🥰❤️
Thank you for this lovely video, it is so comforting to watch you create in your kitchen, you do a wonderful job of filming it. Also appreciate your very wise words about change. BBxoxox
Everything you say/ come up with makes sense ,you background gives you the grounding to give the correct information, we loved your post, your children are just gorgeous, and for once I am not Jealous of your snow as we in England had nearly a week of it,( its all gone for the moment) but is due back, hope you enjoyed the sledging Lol I send warm Yule blessings to you and your family from our cottage in the English woods 😊❤
Positive affirmations while getting to sleep with light music in the background I'm finding my normally blah dark months moods lightening up. Also a good brisk walk in nature daily. 🌞
Wonderful was to bring some cozy and some cleansing energy in
Thank you for make the most wonderful videos I enjoy them immensely. The message in this episode is just what I needed❤️💚❤️. Again Thank you and a very blessed Yule to you and your family.
Such a relaxing video, thank you ❤
I needed this. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Your kids are so adorable.
Most of the time 😅
I would love a tutorial for the snowflakes!
I love this video! I love planning but personally I find that December is too early for planning. I use the end of the year for slowly wrapping up all the things that I still want to do this year in order to start the new year with a cleared up desk and agenda. Then I will dedicate the first week of January to start the planning. And because I live in the Northern Hemisphere, a lot of things that I plan cannot be done until the snow melts, weather turns and spring comes in April, I will have months more to plan those things. So start of the year will be spend on projects that prepare for me for the summer months to come or the ones that are more comfy to be done at home. I feel having a long planning period and matching the plans to the time of the year helps me with being successful. Like if I want to get better sleep, I will focus on that during the dark months when I'll be feeling sleepy all the time anyway and if I want to focus on outdoor activities, I'll plan those for the spring, summer and autumn. This also helps me not to feel guilty of not focusing all the time on all of the things I want to improve.
This is the New Year's video everyone should be watching! You share so much wisdom. Thank you for this fresh take, and a New perspective on being who you want to be!
Only we know who we want to be, therefore only we can achieve that by working towards it.
I feel it's time to step out of autopilot, and make our decisions consciously
Such a great message- you are wise witch!
Thank you 😊
really beautiful video with great advice! Thank you and happy Yule!
Love this validation of my thoughts about this season. ❤
Nicer self-talk. It's a big one as I have had a bad habit for way too many years. Wish me luck! Congrats on your sleep success and weight loss. x's lj
You can do it! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
An awesome video for Solstice and Yule! I'm a therapist for kids, and I'm going to quote you about making the choices that the person you want to be would make!
Please do! I think it is such a powerful thought concept and help :)
I've been working on more consistent stretching after my gym sessions.. and just rest wich is something I just don't do.. my meditation is more clear because of this.. I hope you have amazing yule and blessings thank you for the amazing videos as always.. so greatful for you ❤
Oh ein Schneebär! Habe ich noch nie gesehen. Sehr kreativ😂
Heheh ja 🐻
Du bist ein Engel, Hexe 😂❤🎉 Das ist mein Thema und du machst es wunderschön. Danke ❤😊❤ Ich LIEBEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DEINE ART ZU SEIN. So hat Gott uns gemeint: Schön und liebevoll, egal, welche Berufung und welches Interesse wir leben. ❤🎉❤ Danke ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awwwww Danke 💖 so ein liebe Kommentar
I absolutely love this video. Thank you for putting this one out. Wonderful reminders and productive ideas to create healthy habits!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just found your channel and I am obsessed! I love everything about it! So inspirational and so much knowledge in these videos. Are you going to be doing more videos on winter solstice? Also could u please show some of ur stones or crystals? The meaning of them along with jewelry. I love all your jewelry!! ✨
I’m going to try to go for a walk every day.
Around the block is all it takes!
Also, I’ve been LOVING the 21 Days of Yule prompts!
I missed one day’s prompts (couldn’t decide what branch to trim for St. Barbara), but I’ve done everything else.
I’m looking forward to seeing them in my inbox each day!
that sounds like a great plan! And yaihhhh!!1 I am so glad you enjoy the prompts - I had so much fun writing them :)
Wise words Bex and really good advice. We are kind of programmed into thinking that things have to be hard and enduring for us to make positive change. It often needs just a small change like a small pebble creates big circles on the lake's surface.

One of my favorite new years 'superstition' In Japanese culture, a hatsuyume (Japanese: 初夢) is the first dream one has in the new year. Traditionally, the contents of such a dream would foretell the luck of the dreamer in the ensuing year. In Japan, the night of December 31 was often passed without sleeping, so the hatsuyume is often experienced during the night of January 1; the day after the night of the "first dream" is also known as the hatsuyume. This day is January 2 in the Gregorian calendar, but was different in the traditional Japanese calendar.
It is considered to be particularly good luck to dream of Mount Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant.
I had a dream last new year, it was in a dark art gallery full of thousands of paintings and they were all 'golden ratio' art, but they were also distorted...I never understood the dream!
The continuation is yon-sen, go-tabako, roku-zatō (四扇、五煙草、六座頭; 4. Fan, 5. Tobacco, 6. Blind acupressurer).
I'm pretty sure the last one, #6, I had a dream of, but not on new years, and he was blind because he was also some super scary demon in a dungeon XD
Hi Bex! I’m so glad you posted this lovely reminder. I’ve been struggling with too much and the spirit of the season has been eluding me. Your video, as usual, has inspired me. Your family is absolutely beautiful. Thanks again for sharing. 🥰🎄❄️⛄️
Thoughts and actions…. I am trying a drip by drip method this year. Baby steps…. Not all at once approaching….
Thank you for the lovely video 🥰The kiddos are so adorable 🥰🥰Love the crafts you and your son were making and it is so cute that your Son is always so Happy when he tastes your cooking 😊Much love and Yule Blessings ❤❤
Thanks so much 😊 he is a foodie like mami hahah
🥰🥰Smart child lol@@Thewitchescookery
Thank you 😊
I love the idea of starting a new habit now rather then in the new year. Mine is going to be journaling and self reflection everyday. As you said, even if it’s just one line! I’ve been following you, Bex, since the start of my spiritual journey (this October) and your videos have been life changing for me. I am so very grateful. I hope to be your friend one day and take part in your amazing retreats. Thank you so much 🥰😘. Mallory xoxo
Both are such wonderful habits to reach greater clarity about oneself and one's inner world 💖🙌
Thank you a lot Bex ! I was feeling so lost without knowing what I wanted for my life and I find in your video a message that really finds me and is so helpful right now !! So thanks for that and have a beautiful winter and end of the year !❤
Taking time for myself. Using my time wisely.
Thank you. I am really self reflecting on what I really want for the coming year.😊🌟 Thank you for this video.😊🌟🦄
You got this! 😊🌟🙌
This was so needed! Thank you! I was looking for your paper habit jounal reco's but they seem to be missing? Thank you!!!
What a wonderful reminder. I teach manifesting and meditation courses and I still forget to do these resets for myself. I love the idea of keeping the cards on the pillow. much more likely to do a reading ❤
Sometimes it is hard to follow one's one advice 😅
@@Thewitchescookery absolutely
I wish I could drink a calming tea before bed but if I do that I'll have like 3 tea pee's 😆 in middle of the night
That's exactly what I do 🤣🤣 with or without tea though
@@Thewitchescookery 🤣🤣
Love your beautiful long red coat🤩

Hi :))) love your videos. Could you make one about fertility? Any rituals or tips that you would recommend? Thank you very much❤❤
I did one about two years ago! I think it is called something like fertility spells and ritual (or I am pregnant) 💖
Your vids are just awesome. Thank you.
Glad you like them! 💖😊
Balance is key ❤ 13:35

I just stumbled upon your videos today and they are magical. Im watching all of your yule videos and noticed the little heart sachet spell bag. I was wondering if you made them by hand and if you had any videos or posts about how to make them!, id love to make them with my friends this holiday thank you,,!
Thank you! The knitted one? My grandma made it and always kept a piece of lavander soap in it to make her clothes smell nice - you actually hang it in the closet :)
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
Good advice, Bex ❤
Thank you! 😃
