Hi my magickal peeps, i have a question (as usual), so being busy but from 4:30am to 11pm non-stop and usually eat while walking 
, i tend to not have enough time for the craft. I know ways such as having tea and setting intentions is a method of incorporating magick in everyday life but how about rushing around dropping and picking up the kids, grocery shopping and intense exercise? The only break i do get is a coffee so maybe thatās something? I am trying better to make time but honestly it doesnāt always happenā¦ A we speak i am summoned to the loo to clean a butt lol 
So any suggestions?

Good morning @TheMuslimWitch 
, itās about 6 AM here, Iāve been up for an hour, but thatās when I am helping my son & husband get to work. I make their lunches & start the trucks to warm up in this weather. 
-
Stir things clockwise to bring in Positivity/good energy/luck & stir counterclockwise to repel negativity/banish
-
Listen to āwitchyā music
while youāre cleaning the house. -
Use your broom
(besom) to sweep away negativity & put salt 
in the four corners of your home. -
Use body washes with scents
that are calming or promote self-love 
-
When adding ingredients to food mix them clockwise (counter) depending on the intent of the ingredients while thinking about the intentions for the ingredients youāre using.
-
Draw sigils with spoons while cooking, preparing, stirring.
Iām sure others may have other ways of using magic in the mundane. Those are a few things off the top of my head that I do myself.
If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know. Also check out this topic:

One piece of advice I saw recently that I loved, and that I really try to do anyway, is to slow down and see things through a witchy lens. If you slow down enough youāll see that there is magic all around you, you just have to pay attention.
Itās also worth noting that even the most āadvancedā witches donāt do spells every day or even once a week. Living a magical life, in my opinion, is just being open to the magic thatās already around us in the world.

Sprinkle salt on your carpet before you vacuum to banish negativity, as long as you empty out the vacuum after. Meditate on soap bubbles while washing dishes. Mentally thank everyone who brought the food to your table when picking up groceries. Visualize opening your third eye and seeing clearly while washing windows.
I hope this little list helps. Iām also interested in everyday magic. Iāve always been interested in what things witches do for a daily devotional for instance.

Exercising is perfect for moving meditations! I do them often. Hereās an article I found while doing a simple search. I skimmed it, but havenāt read it yet. 5 Moving Meditations for People Who Canāt Sit Still | The Temper When I go for walks, I send everything in nature love and light and thank them for sharing theirs with me. In my opinion, gratitude in and of itself is magickal. Hope this helps.

This list is already full of wonderful ideas. I use @Susurrusās kitchen magick ideas every time I cook. Some other ideas:
- Do you add cream/ sugar to your coffee? Stir it clockwise and state affirmations. For example, I use a cinnamon stick to stir and state āI accept change in all forms. I love and accept myself. I am safe and protected.ā
- Sugar brings āsweetnessā into your life, aids in love. Milk is associated with fertility, abundance, motherhood. Coffee itself removes energy blockages, is an energy booster, and promotes grounding, happiness, luck, romance, and lust
- Do a simmer pot while cleaning. My favorite is orange slices, bay leaves, clove, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. As I add each element to water (moon water if I have it), I think of the intention I want it to add. Then I let it simmer while I clean. It smells amazing and infuses the house with its magickal properties. You can find lots of different recipes online or make up your own.
- Feeding your local wild life if it is safe to do so (I donāt recommend feeding stray animals unless you plan to adopt them or wildlife that will become dependent on humans). I have bird feeders set up that I put seed in year round. We have cardinals, doves, chickadees, house finches, robins, mockingbirds, and now grackles (annoying bullies). It is a nice way to stay connected to nature. And if you work with a deity that is related to nature/animals (Gaia, Artemis, etc.), you can dedicate this daily feeding to them.
I could go on but I donāt want to make it any longer than I already have.

@MeganB what a great piece of advise. I too struggle with being so busy, I just wrote this down and stuck it a couple of different places to remind myself of what I am doing. Thank you for sharing this. I love it.

I think I need to do the salt vacuum where we have carpeting too. Itās been forever since I have done that & I can sweep the kitchen, hall, & bathroom with salt.
@MeganB at this point I have 3 or 4 even if there is only 1 or 2 songs. I have a Celtic Music playlist too. I use YouTube for Woke Nation things. I havenāt actually looked to see if they are on Spotify though. Ooooā¦ project!

Sorry for the late reply. These are excellent ideas of how to incorporate magick in everyday lifeā¦ It can be easy to forget sometimes just because i am not that doing rituals or spells everyday that i am still a witch and i can perform other ways of magick. Thank you and sorry that you replied to me at such a busy time x

This is so trueā¦ I too have noticed this on my weekend bike rides in the bushy bike trails. I have so much to be thankful for from the fresh cool breeze, the lush green trees and grass and the amazing weather even if its raining and of course the warm sunshineā¦ I even briefly closed my eyes (when it was safe to do so) when it was nice and sunny close to sundown and took in all the power the sun was reflecting offā¦ It really was empowering and i always look forward to doing this.

I just recently read about washing negativity away when we shower and visualising a bright light as if all the negative energy of ourselves and others are being washed away down the drain. I still should and will do this since showering is part of our daily routineā¦ I just donāt like to rush my practice especially meditating and such so i tend to think its better to be respectful and not practice magick then rush it (in my opinion anyways). However, i have started to think this is not so true and even if i can practice on and off during the day doesnāt make it wrong. After all i am the one who decides what is right and wrong for me so i guess an open mind is the best way to go.

Thank you so much for asking this question. It was actually on my mind as well. I donāt really have an excuse! Ex: children, hubby or anything. Iām just naturally easily distracted. I suffer from insomnia also. So, trying to come up with a plan or schedule has been hard for me. I guess I was making it harder than it has to be
