How to use Leo Birth Stone daily? Simple rituals explained here

So I decided to try incorporating my Leo birth stone into daily life after feeling kinda disconnected last month. Grabbed my peridot pendant that’s been gathering dust in my jewelry box and figured I’d start small. Here’s exactly how my routine shaped up:

First thing after brushing my teeth, I hold the stone under running water for like 10 seconds. Don’t overthink it – just let the tap water flow over it while imagining negative energy going down the drain. Shake off the droplets afterward.

While brewing coffee, I put the stone on my windowsill where morning light hits. Let it soak up sunlight for those 5 minutes until my coffee’s ready. Feels silly talking to a rock, but I whisper stuff like “Help me stay bold today” or whatever I’m worried about.

Wear it around my neck all day. Honestly forget it’s there half the time, but when I catch myself stressing – like during my chaotic work meetings – I grab the pendant and take three deep breaths. Not magic, but helps me pause before reacting.

At bedtime, I drop it in a little bowl with salt water. Just regular salt mixed in filtered water, nothing fancy. Found out salt purifies overnight from some forum. In the morning, dump that water down the sink – boom, cycle restarts.

Dumb mistakes I made:

After a month? Subtle changes. Sleep’s deeper, and I snap less at traffic jams. Not saying it’s the stone alone, but the ritual forces me to slow down. My take: if you’re lazy like me, attach it to habits you already have (morning coffee/bedtime) so you actually stick with it.
