FEELING STRESSED... a little (or a LOT) strung out these days?
You're definitely not alone. These are crazy times we find ourselves in. Global chaos aside (if that's even possible!), everyday pressure can come from any part of your life—work, relationships, errands, parenting, school. Especially in these uncertain times, we all could use a little boost in helping to better understand how to be content and how to better handle life's ups and downs.
Naturally, Young Living believes that essential oils are part of the solution! We love to use empowering essential oils and easy calming techniques to find balance in the many situations we find ourselves in every day. Find your best strategy with help from our favorite oils and tricks!
Before you jump into our tips, get a refresher on the best ways to use essential oils. Some of our easiest usage tips for topical and aromatic oils include:
Gently rubbing oil between your hands and taking deep breaths while cupping your hands close to your nose.
Applying oil to the nape of your neck or to pulse points, such as your wrists or temples.
Diffusing oil in your space, whether at home, in the office, or in the car.
Placing a few drops on a tissue or cloth and using for inhalation.
FEELING IRRITABLE?
Life doesn't always unfold as smoothly as we'd like. Hit every red light on your morning drive? Find a passive-aggressive email in your inbox? Tension with a loved one? Some days it feels like nothing is going right, and other days you simply wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Whatever the source of your frustration, take a pause to refocus and realign with a little help from God's precious gift of nature...

PRACTICAL TIPS
Use your favourite essential oil usage technique and try one (or several—or even all!) of the suggestions below:
FIRST: pray and invite your loving Father into the situation. He always, always has your best interests at heart.
Give yourself a 10-minute “time out” to wind down and refocus.
Take care of your basic needs. A quick nap or a healthy snack can do wonders when it comes to moodiness from lack of sleep or food.
Get away for a few minutes with a book break, nature walk, or simply listen to some uplifting or soothing music.
Focus on mindfulness and the present moment with a breathing exercise.
Write it out. Journal about your feelings, and create a gratitude list.
Ask a special someone for a hug.
Practice a positive affirmation: I am loving and forgiving, and I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthen's me!
Happy oiling!
