Keep a dream journal. Keep it right by your bed and write in it as soon as you wake up to record your clearest memory possible. You may not be able to remember a dream every night, but this practice will lead to increased rememberance, and possibly eventual Lucid Dreaming.
Start a garden if possible. Nurturing plants is just nice, and using your own fresh herbs is really empowering in my opinion.
Notice when things resonate with you. Anything that gives you pause and makes you curious in a good way, do a little research and learn more about it! I'm talking a color, creature, work of art, plant, concept, literally anything. Research! Free PDF files are available online for tons of books! (I'm considering making a separate post with my own pdf library for y'all too.)
Cleanse! Take intentful baths/showers and clean your body regularly. Try and keep your physical space clean too, and intentionally cleanse the energy of your environment on the regular. (Note to peeps who struggle doing these: I know it's hard to tackle doing these things when you're feeling shitty, but try anyway. Doing these things will improve your mood 9/10 times, even if all you do is wash your face, light a candle, and put laundry in baskets.)
Practice Energy Work. Energy is a part of everything, and connects everything, so being able to sense it is helpful. A common example is being able to tell if you're being watched, even if you can't see the one watching you. One way to practice is by getting in a comfortable position for meditation, and try to sense what you feel inside your body, ex. try and focus on the sensation inside your big toe, and move that awareness around your body. I once was able to sense my pulse anywhere in my body by thinking about it, I consider that an energy work practice. Once you feel confident about sensing your own energy, you can try a crystal, plant, etc, and start playing with energy balls/thoughtforms if you like.
Practice breath work. Similar to energy work, but with a focus on your breathing. There are lots of breathing exercises, so feel free to experiment with the length of inhale/exhale/hold. Breathing exercises will help you in meditation exercises as well. In yoga, your breath is often refered to as your prana, which is your energy. It's all connected.
Write yourself a personal mantra. It should be empowering and use affirmative language (meaning say something like 'i am safe' rather than 'i am not in danger'). Repeat it to yourself frequently. Be your own best friend here, uplift yourself, and engage in self care even if self care in the moment means doing something difficult.
Believe in Yourself. Be the kind of person you want to see more of in the world.
