Okay, here’s a draft based on the prompt and example you provided:
So, I’ve been messing around with crystals lately, you know, just for fun and to see what all the hype is about. I stumbled upon this thing called “white jade” and its supposed spiritual meanings. I got curious, so I decided to give it a go and see if it does anything for me.
First off, I got myself a piece of white jade. I just went to one of those crystal shops in town, didn’t want to wait for shipping or whatever. It’s a smooth, polished stone, kinda milky white, nothing too fancy.
I started carrying it around with me, just in my pocket. I didn’t really have a plan, just figured I’d keep it close and see what happens. Some days, I’d hold it in my hand when I was feeling stressed or whatever, like during traffic or before a big meeting at work. Other times, I’d just forget it was there.
- Week one: Didn’t really notice anything different. Maybe I felt a little calmer on some days, but who knows, could just be a coincidence.
- Week two: I started meditating with it. Just a few minutes each day, holding the stone and focusing on my breath. Felt kinda nice, but still nothing earth-shattering.
- Week three: Okay, this is where it got a little interesting. I had a couple of really good brainstorming sessions at work. Ideas were just flowing, and I felt super focused. Could be the jade, could be a good night’s sleep, hard to say.
- Week four: I decided to place it by my bedside. I have a habit of checking social media before sleep and after waking up. I tried to hold the jade before sleep and after waking up instead of my phone for about 5 to 10 minutes. This time I was getting some wild dreams. Nothing I could really remember clearly, but they were vivid, you know?
Honestly, after a month or so, I can’t say for sure if the white jade did anything specific. I mean, I did feel a bit more centered and focused at times, and those dreams were definitely something else. But it’s not like it magically solved all my problems or anything. However, I do feel more at ease and peace, which might be the effect of me shifting my attention away from the phone and to the jade.
I guess it’s all about what you believe, right? Maybe the white jade really does have some spiritual properties, or maybe it just acts as a reminder to slow down, breathe, and focus. Either way, I kinda enjoyed having it around. I’ll probably keep it in my pocket, just in case. Who knows, maybe it’ll come in handy sometime. Or maybe it’s just a pretty rock. Either way, it was a fun little experiment.
A small sum-up
To be honest, I didn’t really feel much change from the beginning until the third and fourth weeks. However, it did feel good to shift my attention away from social media before and after sleep. I found that I have been sleeping better, even though I am having those vivid dreams. Overall, I enjoy this process, though not sure whether it is the white jade.
