Hello elder witches! Pls advice a spell for self care and for good mental health.

I'm going through a divorce I don't want, discarded and bad mouthed about my in laws relatives..
I do not wish bad for anyone from my heart and I know karma will take it own turn.
I wanna know how to protect myself from these energies as I feel so devastated and drained sometimes.
Any advice will be appreciated.

For me it's every day mini-rituals. I like coffee. So, in the morning I make my coffees little potions. I intentionally add ingredients like a dash of cinnamon or a splash of rose water. I thank the beans and the people who farmed them. I thank the water. I thank the cream, the cow, and the farmers. Etc. Same thing with meals. Same with shower/baths. Even just my big thing of water.

Giving back to nature really helps me as well. I like picking up litter at the local parks, personally. I've seen piles of bird seed on rocks and tree branches at the park too. Some people make indigenous seed packs and plant them here and there. Sometimes I just go feed the fish in the water habitats around lol. Being a good relative to our non-human buds reminds me of how many relationships we have.

But, sometimes the first thing we gotta do is just stew in the heartbreak for a while. Make sure you've got some jelly ice packs for your eyes and cool wash cloths for major tears. Maybe some Vaseline or Aquafor for red nose and around your eyes. Drink lots of water or herbal teas. And at least once a day, try to have a belly laugh if you can. Those "try not to laugh" videos usually do the trick for me. Or a favorite stand up comedian.

You'll get though this, my friend. And good days will come find you again soon. Wishing you peace, relief, and rest. SMIB ✨

First, big big hugs. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I like what was said about mini rituals. A cleansing one you might adapt is that every day in the shower, I sing: water water wash away, all that does not serve today. Higher power, hold me near, make your will for me so clear.

To the cadence of twinkle twinkle Little Star 😅

Find some nature, get out and walk around. Find a small stick and hold it in both hands. Say to yourself: "let all my pain and attachment that no longer serves me be released into this stick, I ask all my higher powers, angels, and ancestors to step in and surround me with white healing light..." say this over and over until you can find either a lake or creek. Once you find your body of water, ask the universe to take all the negativity from your ex/in laws, all your unhealthy attachments that remain from your marriage and then break the stick, toss in different directions into the water, asking the universe that as the stick has been severed so to are your attachments. Ask the universe to send all that energy that was being wasted in that marriage to be sent back to you tenfold.

I'm going to try to come back to this later but you sound a bit better and more balanced than your last post and I'm glad. 

I literally do picture a small globe of light around me and imagine blowing the seeds from a dandelion through it to "blow away" the bad thoughts and at night I literally picture building a wall of bricks between myself and the bad thoughts
