Quick little tip for all my fellow coffee shop, shared-desk, or kitchen-table-coworking colleagues. If, like me, you don\u2019t have an office or desk to call your own, it can be a little disorienting and discomforting to unpack and re-pack all your stuff at the beginning and end of each work day. It\u2019s hard for me to feel like wherever I\u2019m working is truly\u00a0\u201cmine,\u201d and that can make it hard to get into a groove.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One thing that works for me is bringing a few small crystals in my bag each day and placing them next to my laptop wherever I\u2019m set up for the day.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

They don\u2019t take up much space nor add much weight to my bag. Beyond whatever properties you do or don\u2019t believe the stones themselves to possess, they\u00a0give wherever I\u2019m set up a sense of home, and that is huge to me when I\u2019m moving around throughout the week.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re curious, I\u2019ve got black dravite (to accept all facets of myself), a little stack of carnelian (for courage and prosperity), and my solar plexus egg which I don\u2019t even know what it\u2019s made out of. Also, that handwriting is way too clean to be mine!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not into crystals, you could bring any sort of totem, talisman, good luck charm, or tchotchke with you. I happen to like my stones think gem stores make great artist dates \ud83d\ude42 If you don\u2019t, play around and find what works for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
