For doing some kinds of magick, law of attraction and mental health, you need a positive state of mind, right?
In my case I lost all my direct family due to the pandemic and some money too. Iโm having a hard time trying to stay positive.
When everything goes from bad to worse, how do you cope with negativity?
Donโt forget toxic positivity. Youโre allowed to feel what you need to feel, itโs dwelling on things unnecessarily which is bad, but with a situation like yours, I mean if it was me Iโd be very lenient with myself and not be expecting too much.
I think itโs rare to be starting from a clean slate and perfect zero, when youโre at that point of deciding you want to use magic to better your life. I think initially people need to use spiritual practices to heal, undo bad habits, cleanse etc. Just do what you gotta do. Make sure youโre going in an upward slope so your life will eventually be great, but if things are hard donโt feel too bad about the days where you accomplish nothing and simply cope either.
Aside from this, if a lot of negative things are going on in your life, also make sure that youโre own negative expectations arenโt in the way, or that youโre not cursed, or that a parasite or entity isnโt doing this to you. So like, meditate and maybe evoke someone for protection/guidance if you havenโt already.
Thanks for your post Encore19
One thing that Iโve learned is that some days in your life, they only thing you can do is to survive and you donโt have to feel guilty about it.
In a positive note 
I donโt think Iโm cursed because Iโm the only one in my family that have survived unscathed these last 2 years.
Also, I think somebody did a strong protection work to me some time ago. I felt it like an index finger crossing my skull, from forehead to nape. Very fast, like a bullet. At first I thought it was something bad. Now I believe otherwise.
In the past, Iโve used crystals and sent negative offerings into them as an offering to negative entities. I used a piece of smoky quartz for this, but obsidian would work, too. Iโm not sayimg it WILL help.achieve a lighter balance, but it may.
Iโm sorry for your loss.
Hey, norse900, thanks for your post 
Regarding the norse part of your nickname, let me tell you that my protection sigil is Aegishjalmur. I didnโt choose it, it came to me.
Regarding crystals, I have noneโฆ except for a rock with smoky quartz on top that I found in the wilderness when I was a child Synchromancity?
Hehe, seems to be. I work darker, though, to be honest. Not exclusively, though.
Ok, then give the brighter part of you Bring it because Iโm feeling it and itโs no joke.
Think of it like the Tao. Everything is a bit mixed. Right now, Iโm going down a darker path, so I donโt know that you want any of that at the moment. I largely keep it contained from the forum, but expect that this part of the work through will take several more months at least.
Right now, Iโm going down a darker path, so I donโt know that you want any of that at the moment
For whatever the reason, I perceived a light in you, even if you donโt want it right now.
Iโm too in a very dark moment of my life right now and I choose that I want light.
As a Chaos Magick practicioner, synchromancity is not to be ignored. Just send me the last ray of light you have to me. If you need negativity, I have a ton to share with you. 
There isnโt last ray. I dwell on both sides of the spectrum.
Ways I know of that worked for me and others I advised to do.
Think of something positive from a happy memory, a dream of yours.
The quantum leap method ( known as the two cup method, taking two cups, one cup with the water in it spilling all your sorrows and negative into, the pouring the water into the other cup and spilling all the positive and happy thoughts you want, then drinking it to program your subconscious mind to positive thinking.
Stretching and taking a shower before any ritual or spell casting. Relaxing the mind.
Meditation let all the wandering memories flow up front during the meditation to rid them when you go to do you ritual or spell.
Simply change, one thing in your life that makes you feel better, even if its just something you think, or eat. Anything you control you can change for the better do something small to increase the positive thoughts and actions.
You can also look under my spells, money and friend ones, and good luck they will def boost anything in your life. Iโm sure out of the 50 some or more spells I posted you can find under my profile, youโll find one for you to help 
โThis too shall passโ
So far this stance served me well and it proved to be always true.
Its not something that puts a positive light on everything immediately but it strengthens resilience when youโre faced with something that is - for now- far out of your control.
Ok, if you need negativity, just ask, Iโm here for you Iโll be glad to ship it in a sigil to whoever wants it.

and for easy money spells this is one my favorites
Need: Glass cup and milk ( paper and pen ) red ink the best, but any color will do !
Spell:
Write this spell on a paper thrice and dip it in that cup or glass of milk. HADZAK DHANA MIN ZADAL
Let the paper stay in milk for a while.
Remove the paper and let it dry out completely for a day. You may throw away the milk.
Next day, keep this paper in a place at home where you store assets and money.
You will receive money in the most unimaginable ways.

Money, money, come to me.
Riches and wealth, Increase by three times three times three.
Count your money three times by pulling each bill or coin closer to you as you count it. Continue your chant as you count. When you are done, fold the bills toward you and return them to your wallet or pull the coins in to you before returning them to your pocket. Repeat this spell every three or nine days until you have what you want.
My favorite quote is, ( You must first desire it, then you must intend to have it ! )
Magic is great, when you use it for manifesting what you want and need.
3 things I base it all one
Thanks for sharing Blond!
I started out like you newbie.
Started with Chants, Element, Candle magic, Egyptian magic, Gypsy Magic, Deeper Witch Craft, Then too Voodoo/Hoodoo, to all forms of Black magic, Sigil Magic, Chaos Magic. In some cases using spirits when really needing to get a need or task handled. Forgive my spelling in other post its invoke and envoke without the damn L 's.
