Have you been looking for some simple ways to stay spiritually connected during your week? You’re in luck! I’ve put together a list of 4 simple spiritual healing habits that you can easily add to your everyday routine.
Early this morning while in my quiet time, I was reading a book, the Art of Bliss. It is such a good reminder to keep yourself centered and connected to your spiritual side.
In order to stay calm through the through the difficult or surprising things that life brings your way, you want to keep yourself grounded and centered. It wasn't until I started incorporating my morning rituals, affirmations and meditating/journaling that I noticed a HUGE change in my life.
Morning spiritual rituals offer a precious opportunity to start the day with intention, mindfulness, and gratitude. They empower individuals to nurture their inner selves, set a positive tone for the day, and cultivate habits that contribute to personal growth and well-being, ultimately enriching their overall quality of life.
The importance of spiritual rituals in the morning cannot be overstated, as they set the tone for the rest of the day and offer numerous benefits for one's mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
These rituals provide a sacred and intentional space for individuals to connect with their inner selves, higher consciousness, or their chosen spiritual path.
Engaging in these activities allows individuals to cultivate a sense of mindfulness and inner peace, helping them ground themselves before the hustle and bustle of daily life begins.
Furthermore, these rituals create a sense of routine and discipline, which can lead to improved self-discipline and time management throughout the day. They provide a reliable anchor point in a world often filled with chaos and unpredictability.
4 simple spiritual healing habits to start your day
01 | HARNESS THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL HOME CLEANSING:
I absolutely LOVE burning palo santo in my home and sometimes I will even sage. Every morning, I light it up, open a window and let the smoke fill the air. For me, it represents a clearing of my space.
Each morning when you wake up its a new day. Spiritually cleansing your space is like a physical representation of that. On Sundays, I like to do my sage ritual, its a bit of a longer ritual so I take longer to do that one. I loved this girls point of view on smudging, too.
02 | SET POSITIVE INTENTIONS
and say positive affirmations out loud every morning. Today will be a great day! I am going to win today! I'm ready to kick butt and accomplish my goals with effectiveness! What is for me, will not miss me! I could go on and on.
I have lists that I read from in the mornings. I know it sounds silly but its scientific. Thoughts become things, what you think about is where your energy goes. When I am around friends or family and they say negative things about themselves, I say "don't talk about my friend like that".
Be the person that lifts yourself up so you can lift others up too.
This offers an opportunity to express gratitude for the gift of a new day and to set positive intentions. By acknowledging the blessings in one's life and visualizing the day ahead with positivity and purpose, you can enhance your overall outlook and increase your resilience in the face of challenges.
HOT TIP: While I am saying my positive intentions and affirmations, I also light a candle as I say them and using matches feels very romantic. This is a very impactful ritual because in Feng Shui, the fire element will activate, so when you speak your intentions into the flame they are activated energetically!
03 | ROMANTICIZE YOUR BATH / SHOWER TIME:
As you are getting ready for your day, making sure that your shower/bath time is as calming and inspiring as possible is such a beautiful way to start the day.
I am a sucker for beautiful products and packaging. I mean, I don't like anything that isn't pretty in my bathroom. There is something luxurious about bath salts and scrubs. I keep candles all over my bath tub and try to have fresh flowers in there too.
When I take a salt bath, I literally imagine the negative thoughts and stress of the day just wash away. If you don't like taking baths, learn how to turn your shower into a sanctuary.
Paying attention to self-care is the most effective way to stay productive and successful in your life. When you are tripped up by too much going on, you can't be operating as the best version of yourself so why waste your valuable time?
04 | Practice mirror work
Mirror work is one of the most powerful—and surprisingly emotional—spiritual habits you can add to your mornings. Popularized by the late Louise Hay, a pioneer in self-love and affirmations, mirror work involves looking deeply into your own eyes and speaking loving, empowering words to yourself. Louise often said, “The most powerful affirmations are those you say to yourself in front of a mirror,” because the mirror reflects back more than just your image—it reflects your relationship with yourself.
Most of us go through life being our own harshest critic, often without realizing how much self-judgment we carry. Mirror work turns that on its head. It invites you to meet yourself each morning with compassion and presence, just as you would greet someone you truly love. This isn’t about vanity—it’s about self-connection. When you lock eyes with your reflection and speak directly to yourself, you bypass the mind’s chatter and connect with your subconscious, where deep emotional shifts can occur.
Louise Hay often recommended starting with simple phrases like, “I am worthy of love.” “I am proud of who I am becoming.” or “I approve of myself.” At first, it might feel awkward, or even bring up unexpected emotions. That’s normal. With time and repetition, your self-talk begins to soften, your confidence strengthens, and you start carrying yourself differently—more open, grounded, and assured.
To make it easy, try adding mirror work right after brushing your teeth or as the final step in your skincare routine. Just 1–2 minutes of looking into your own eyes and speaking kindness can shift your energy for the entire day. Over time, you may notice what Louise Hay taught so beautifully: that how you speak to yourself becomes the foundation for how you live your life.
05 | DRESS UP FOR YOUR DAY ACCORDING TO YOUR VENUS ENERGY
This one I can speak from personal experience that it will completely change your life. Several years ago, when I started studying about and reading birth charts in depth, I learned that you inner goddess energy could be magnified outwardly by your Venus placement.
So, I began creating my signature style according to my Venus sign. You can see how to find what yours is and read more about that here. What I noticed about it was that my days were completely transformed. I began to feel more confident in my day because I felt like I was dressing more powerfully. Also, I noticed that people would respond to me differently, in a way that felt more positive and uplifting.
HOT TIP: In order to make the experience of getting up in the morning and enjoying dressing up, you want your closet to feel good. I have a very specific spiritual closet cleansing ritual you might enjoy too.
