Get your rocks together

March is widely reported to be the least productive month of the year, in part due to daylight saving time and what is known in the sporting world as March Madness.

But there are a few things you could try to give you the oomph you need during March, and no, that doesnt include chugging energy drinks. We spoke to Donna Johnson, president and creator of Whyte Quartz, about the various crystals she would recommend during the month of March to align your goals and clear negativity from your workspace.�

On how to use the crystals correctly, expert Donna said that the first step is clearing stagnant energy. This process can be done in either sunlight, moonlight, or even full moonlight.��

The next step is clearing your mind and setting your intentions for work, creativity, productivity, etc. Once charged and humming with energy, the crystals could be placed near your desk or on your person.�

Each day, reconnect with your crystals by holding them and restating your intentions. This should be an energetic connection, she added. The key is to keep reconnecting with the crystals and your intentions of productivity.
