I bought my citrine tower during a stretch where a project I cared about had completely stalled. I wasn't chasing luck, exactly — I just wanted something on my desk that wasn't another to-do list.
The first few weeks, I mostly forgot about it
It sat next to my monitor, and for a while that's all it did. I didn't feel a surge of motivation or some dramatic shift in energy. It was just a pretty rock catching the afternoon light.
What I actually started noticing
A few weeks in, I realized I'd developed a small habit without meaning to — glancing at it right before opening the file I'd been avoiding. Citrine is an emitter, traditionally tied to confidence and momentum, and the honest version of my experience is that it became less about luck and more about a two-second pause before I let myself procrastinate again.
I'm not crediting it for the outcome
The project eventually moved again, but that was mostly just me finally doing the work. I can't tell you citrine did that for me. I can tell you it was sitting there every single time I almost didn't start.
Where it lives now
Still on my desk, still catching the same light. I don't think it's magic. I think it's just become the object my brain associates with actually starting instead of stalling.
If you're stuck in a rut you know you need to move through, citrine is a quiet thing to keep nearby while you do.
