2020 put a huge damper on the whole new year new me optimism we all usually have, fortunately, it can only go up from here. Crystals for new year resolutions will make sure of it.

But remember, starting over, renewing intentions, and shedding skin don’t have to happen only once in a year. I encourage you to do it as often as you feel called to. The crystals chosen for this article are specifically for releasing, detoxing, renewing, and pressing forward--all of which the collective consciousness tends to do when the clock strikes midnight on January 1st.

So to put your spiritual best-foot-forward, gather these gems just before the ball drops, and prepare for your best year yet.

Crystals to Release the Past 

Bringing your 2020 baggage into 2021 is a no-go. The old you, that unfulfilling job, the tired relationship, whatever it is you’re leaving in the past, these crystals will remove all lingering energetic residue of the old you.

Fluorite

Fluorite is great for dispelling negativity and pessimism. It can ease overthinking, worry, and anxiety that is often brought up by thoughts of the past. Fluorite is ideal for meditation practice to help you detach and observe thoughts and feelings that keep coming up so that you can acknowledge and release them.

Fluorite says, “Fulfilment and peace are only found in the present moment”.

Obsidian

Let go of toxic habits and limiting beliefs with obsidian. The almighty dark crystal can cut to the core of what’s holding you back in life. It’s also good for grounding energy so it doesn’t go wasted and can be used to create. Be prepared for major shifts when working with obsidian. 

Obsidian says, “It is safe for me to leave the past behind”.

Malachite 

If you need deep-healing before you ring in the new year, reach for Malachite. It’s known as the powerful transformation crystal. Malachite helps restore self-worth, esteem, and confidence. If you need an accountability crystal, Malachite has away of ensuring you don’t repeat the lessons you’ve already learned.

Malachite says, “A lesson learned isn’t repeated”

Crystals For New Year Resolutions

These three crystals for new year will supercharge your manifesting ability, help you stay focused on your goals, and find joy in the journey to achieving them. Not to mention they’re stunning reminders of where you’re headed!

Tiger’s Eye

The name says it all. If you want the eye of the tiger, this crystal helps you commit to your goals and follow through. Eliminate distractions, remove mental blocks, and achieve your potential with one of the coolest crystals. Tiger’s Eye works best resting on your desk or workspace for enhanced productivity.

Tiger’s Eye says, “ My goals deserve my entire focus"

Citrine

I call Citrine my little manifesting magic baby because she always pulls through when it comes to creating opportunities for abundance to be realized. If you have a business or financial goals for the coming year (let’s face it--who doesn’t!?), Citrine, or the success stone, revitalizes your visionary powers to create opportunities for growth and wealth.

Citrine says, “The possibilities are limitless”.

Sodalite

Connect with your intuition and highest calling with Sodalite. This elegant crystal has a calming energy that allows you to live your truth. Not all confidence is loud and proud. Sodalite will alleviate the pressure to impress others and remind you that all you have to prove, is to yourself. With Sodalite, you’ll be able to move differently in 2021. 

Sodalite says, “I know myself and that is enough”.

Make Space For 2021

Now that you’ve purged the past and are manifesting your coming year, it’s time to make space for all the good coming your way.

Tourmaline

Protect your energy, shield your goals, and defend your newfound balance with tourmaline. I think of tourmaline as a celestial guard dog. It’s great to wear when you inviting new energies around your goals. For example, going to an interview for your dream job, or meeting a real estate agent when looking at your dream house. Tourmaline will absorb negativity and harmful wishes or intentions from others.

Tourmaline says, “I will only accept and recognize energy that serves my greater good”.

Green Aventurine

Green Aventurine is the stone of possibilities, opportunities, and good fortune. Great for manifesting new beginnings, releasing limiting thoughts and beliefs, and attracting like-minded individuals. Green Aventurine releases old patterns, habits, and disappointments, brings optimism, a love for life, and helps to embrace change.

Green Aventurine says, “I am open to all possibilities to receive joy” 

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is the best way to propel your plans into motion from a place of self-love and self-awareness. Reminding you that everything that you have and everything that you are is already enough. Whatever good comes to you is just a bonus compared to the overwhelming appreciation you have for just being alive another year.

Rose Quartz says, “The journey begins and ends with love”.

Do you need all the crystals for new year? No! Practicing or filling your home with the energy of just one or two of these is enough to multiply your manifesting powers. And if you don’t have a gem to remind you...I’ll say it from one Goddess to another, let go of 2020, open your heart up to endless love and opportunity, and have an amazing year.
