Choose To See Everyday Magic
- Casual magic is noticing small everyday moments and choosing to call them special.
- UnJaded Jade links this practice to mindfulness and present-moment attention.
Meditation Began As Exam Coping
- Jade began meditating during A-levels to manage exam stress and used five-minute sits before study.
- She noticed simple acts like sipping tea could be romanticised into moments of joy.
Use Awe And A Daily Ritual
- Notice moments of awe like sunsets to interrupt autopilot and feel present.
- Create a short ritual asking "What is casually magic right now?" each morning or evening.
