Remember to See Magic
"As children, we experienced something magical every day. We were so interconnected to our imagination, wonder, and magic because the simple things in life were what mattered. As we grow and have life experiences, we are conditioned to disconnect from our imagination and sense of wonder—the very parts of ourselves that are essential for our growth and for remembering who we truly are. We often hear people say, "I'll believe it when I see it." But when we were children, we knew: "You'll see it when you believe it."
When we lose our sense of wonder, life becomes a chore list. Burnout happens when we stop seeing the magic in the steam of our coffee, the pattern of the rain, or the synchronicity of a well-timed text. Today, we are reclaiming our capacity for awe. This beautiful day is your invitation to stop surviving and start marveling.
Let's activate the Third Eye (Ajna) for perception. To see magic, we must activate our internal vision. The Third Eye Chakra is our center of intuition and the ability to see beyond the physical surface of things. Close your eyes and place one finger gently between your eyebrows, then release it, keeping your focus on that spot. Imagine a deep indigo or violet light pulsing gently in the center of your forehead. Take a slow breath in. As you inhale, imagine this indigo light clearing away the "dust" of cynicism and routine from your eyes. As you exhale, imagine your vision becoming sharp, clear, and enchanted. Whisper or think: "I see the extraordinary in the ordinary. My world is filled with light." Open your eyes and look at your surroundings as if you've never seen them before.
As a strategist, I look at "magic" as Emotional ROI. A life without awe is a life that feels heavy and gray. Consider glimmers over triggers—we all know what triggers us, but have you identified your glimmers? Glimmers are micro-moments that signal safety and joy to your nervous system. A dog wagging its tail is a glimmer. The smell of old books is a glimmer. Try the cinematic lens—if your life was a high-budget film, how would the camera capture this exact moment to make it look beautiful? The strategist's move is to "romanticize" your life to make the mundane more sustainable. Remember the law of attention: whatever you look for, you will find. If you look for reasons to be annoyed, you'll find twenty. If you look for magic, you'll find it in the cracks of the sidewalk.
Let's build your Magic Toolkit using the five senses: Sight—write down one thing you can look at that instantly feels "special" (a specific photo, the moon, a flickering candle). Sound—what is a sound that feels like a hug? (Lo-fi beats, birdsong, a loved one's laugh). Scent/Taste—what is a flavor or smell that feels like a "treat"? Touch—what texture feels like luxury to you? (Silk, a warm stone, cool grass). The commitment: pick one item from your menu and indulge in it for 60 seconds today.
You don't need a new life; you need new eyes. Magic is a choice of attention. Be the person who notices the small things that everyone else misses."

Welcome to this sacred space where wonder returns and enchantment lives in every moment. This week, we're exploring the transformative practice of remembering to see magic—reclaiming your ability to notice beauty, embrace wonder, find meaning in small moments, and recognize that life itself is miraculous. The magic hasn't disappeared—you've just forgotten to look for it. It's time to remember.
Food For Thought:
Nourishment for Your Soul: Awakening to the Miraculous
When did you stop seeing magic? When did sunsets become just "the sky getting dark"? When did stars become just "things that are always there"? When did kindness become so expected you stopped noticing it? When did the miracle of being alive become so ordinary you stopped being amazed by it?
Consider this: You are a collection of atoms that have organized themselves into a conscious being capable of love, thought, creation, and wonder. You're standing on a rock flying through space at 67,000 miles per hour. Your heart beats 100,000 times a day without you thinking about it. You can feel joy, pain, connection—you can experience beauty and make meaning. This is magic. Every single day of your existence is magic.
The Art of Seeing What's
Always Been There
There's a quiet tragedy that happens as we grow up and grow weary: we stop seeing magic. Not because magic disappears, but because we train ourselves to ignore it. We become so focused on problems, tasks, and what's wrong that we lose our capacity to notice what's miraculous. We walk past sunsets without seeing them. We miss the kindness in a stranger's smile. We overlook the miracle of our own breath, our beating heart, the fact that we're alive on a spinning planet in an infinite universe.
Remembering to see magic means: pausing to notice beauty even when you're busy, allowing yourself to be awed by what you usually take for granted, looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary, cultivating curiosity instead of cynicism, celebrating small moments of delight, acknowledging synchronicities and meaningful coincidences, seeing challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation, and choosing to interpret life through the lens of wonder rather than worry.
"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."
Roald Dahl
REMEMBER THE MAGIC IN YOU
WISDOM FROM SPIRITUAL MOTHERS & FATHERS
Louise Hay:
"Every moment of my life is filled with joy."
Maya Angelou:
"This is a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before."
Iyanla Vanzant:
"Gratitude is the fastest way to change your life."
Closing: Heart-to-Heart
Dearest one, remember that your ability to see magic is not a luxury or a distraction from what's important—it's what makes life worth living. Just as a plant needs sunlight to thrive, your soul needs wonder, beauty, and awe to flourish. When you remember to see magic, you're not escaping reality—you're finally seeing it clearly.
With celebration of your awakening wonder,
Your Self-Care Strategist 💕
P.S. Sweet soul, if you're reading this thinking "I've tried to see magic, but there's nothing magical about my life," please pause and soften. Magic doesn't require special circumstances—it requires special attention. Right now, as you read these words, your heart is beating, your lungs are breathing, light is entering your eyes and becoming meaning in your brain. That's magic. The fact that you exist at all, that you're conscious and capable of reading and feeling and wanting more from life—that's profound magic. Start there. Start with the miracle of your own existence, your own breath, your own capacity to experience this moment. Then look around: What's the temperature of the air on your skin? What colors can you see? What sounds are present? Magic isn't always dramatic—sometimes it's simply the quiet miracle of being alive. Start noticing that, and watch how the magic multiplies.
"The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
