Let Good Find Me

LET GOOD FIND ME

A seven-day practice for clearing space, receiving support, and responding to the openings you’ve been praying for.

Sometimes I catch myself praying for something good while quietly preparing for something to go wrong.

And honestly, after you’ve spent enough time holding everything together, being offered something gentle can bring up feelings you weren’t expecting.

I made this practice for that tender place. The place where you’re ready for life to feel different, but you’re still learning how to let it.

Over the next seven days, we’ll tend to your space, listen for what you need, and make a few small choices that give goodness more room in your everyday life.

You don’t have to feel positive through all of it. You don’t have to force yourself to be grateful. And you are not responsible for every difficult thing that has found you.

Bring what you already have: a little water, something to write on, and a few honest minutes with yourself.

If you’re working with my Van Van Intention Oil, you’re welcome to keep it beside you as a companion for this practice. But nothing needs to be purchased to begin.

Day One · Tend the entrance

Wash your front door or wipe down the threshold. Tend to the place you pass through every time you leave and return.

Move whatever has collected there, even if it’s only a pair of shoes you keep stepping over.

As you work, think about what you want it to feel like to come home. Choose a word. Maybe peaceful. Protected. Nourished.

Speak it at the door.

“May goodness be welcome here, and may I recognize what belongs in my home.”

Day Two · Notice what you’ve been tolerating

Choose one small thing that asks something of you every time you see it.

A cluttered bedside table. A notification you dread. An unfinished task that would take five minutes if you finally gave it your attention.

Resolve it, move it, or make a clear decision about when you’ll handle it.

Notice how it feels to answer one of your own needs before it becomes urgent.

Where have I grown so accustomed to discomfort that I’ve stopped considering another way?

Day Three · Listen before you say yes

Think about an opportunity, invitation, or request you’re considering.

Write down what appeals to you, what concerns you, and what you still need to know.

You’re allowed to ask questions before deciding. Excitement doesn’t obligate you. Uncertainty doesn’t always mean the door is wrong.

Sometimes you need more information. More time. Terms that respect what you can actually give.

“Divine, help me see clearly, including the details I might overlook because I want something to work.”

Day Four · Let yourself receive something

Accept one small kindness without immediately trying to repay it.

Let a compliment stand without explaining it away. Accept an offered hand. Ask someone trustworthy for specific help.

Notice what comes up.

If you feel indebted, exposed, or tempted to say “never mind,” write that down with tenderness.

You don’t have to force yourself to become comfortable today. You’re simply noticing what receiving brings to the surface.

What do I believe I owe someone when they are good to me?

Day Five · Reconsider a possibility

Return to something you dismissed because the timing was inconvenient, you assumed you wouldn’t be chosen, or you were too tired to imagine it working.

It could be an application, a creative idea, an invitation, or a conversation you wanted to begin.

Choose something that still interests you and respects your boundaries.

Find out whether there is a next step available. You don’t have to commit to the whole thing to send one email or ask one question.

“Let me meet possibility with curiosity long enough to discover what is actually here.”

Day Six · Give pleasure a little room

Make one ordinary part of your day more nourishing.

Eat sitting down with a proper plate. Put on music while you dress. Bring a clipping from the garden inside. Spend ten unhurried minutes with something you love.

Let yourself enjoy it before everything is finished.

Pay attention to the details of what feels good: the warmth, the flavor, the way your shoulders soften when you stop rushing.

What have I been saving for a version of my life where everything is finally handled?

Day Seven · Answer what opened

Read back through your week.

What became easier? What did you learn about your yes, your hesitation, your willingness to receive?

There may have been an opening. Or you may have simply noticed a need you can no longer ignore.

Choose one thing you want to continue tending, and give it a place in the coming week.

If you’ve kept Van Van beside you, hold the bottle as you speak your closing intention. Otherwise, rest your hands wherever they feel comfortable.

“Divine, help me recognize goodness in forms I haven’t thought to ask for. Give me discernment about what I welcome and courage to respond when the opening is right. May the care I’ve offered myself this week continue in the choices I make.”

You don’t need a dramatic story by day seven.

I hope there’s something here you want to keep, even if it’s only the habit of asking yourself what would make today feel a little more supported.

With love,

Jess

Your optional apothecary companion

I chose Van Van Intention Oil to accompany this practice because of its place in spiritual work around clearing, good fortune, and opening the way.

If it’s already part of your practice, let it be a reminder of the intention you’re tending throughout these seven days.
