Why Doing Nothing Is Sometimes the Most Magical Act

Hey witches,

Today I caught myself spiraling into my endless to-do list — clean this, fix that, write this, plan that. My brain was buzzing with all the “shoulds.”

And then I looked outside and saw my kids playing in the mud. Laughing. Making a mess. Just… being.

So I joined them.

I squished mud between my fingers and asked my toddler what they thought of it. Their answer? “Bleck!” (which made me laugh even harder).

We made a mess — a glorious mess of a mess. And when we were done, we took a bath, read a book, watched some TV, and had noodles and cookies for dinner. Nothing fancy. Just fun.

And you know what? Not cleaning, not stressing, and choosing to play was the best decision I made today.

Reflection + Magic:
We forget sometimes that rest, play, and joy are part of being human — part of being magical. You don’t always need to be productive. Sometimes doing nothing (or doing something silly) is the spell.

So today, I invite you to:

• Mindlessly scroll without guilt 

• Walk barefoot and get your feet dirty 

• Eat comfort food without analyzing the health “pros and cons” 

• Laugh, nap, and let yourself be imperfect 

Sacred rest doesn’t mean laziness. It means giving yourself space to breathe. To feel. To live.

✨ What’s one small, “unproductive” thing you can do this week that might actually feed your spirit?

Because rest, joy, and cookies? That’s real magic.
