Welcome To The New Year!

For many families, the last few months of a year typically pass in a whirlwind. As the busiest days and group gatherings come to an end, we’re greeted with the opportunity to meet the new year feeling ready for whatever comes next. Take some time for yourself to relax and check in with how you’re really doing. What would help you feel ready to take on the new year with a bit more energy and a fresh outlook?


There’s no need to put pressure on yourself to make huge changes or take on big goals right now. Still, the new year is a nice time to check in on your focus and reset your intentions. Let the symbolic fresh start motivate you to think about old habits, let go of anything weighing you down, and begin the next chapter feeling lighter!


I’m hoping to share a few essential oils that you’ll find supportive for taking on the new year!

Cheers,

Matthew and Britt

 

CHOOSING YOUR SUPPORT

Some essential oils and essential oil-based products can support your focus and help you tap into your inner strength. Many of these can be found in Young Living products, some of which can also be taken internally to support your overall physical wellness.

The start of a new year symbolizes new beginnings, but don't overlook all of the new challenges, victories, and opportunities encountered all throughout the year. Remember, you won’t need to wait for a Monday or a New Year's Resolution to start something new -- especially if it's important to you! Count on reaching for essential oils to accompany you on the journey. They can make a difference!

While it would be wonderful to have every essential oil at your fingertips, here are a few special ones to consider incorporating as we welcome the new year together.

 
 

CLARY SAGE

Starting something new tends to invite an element of fear or self-doubt. It’s only natural to feel hesitant when jumping into new territory. When it becomes overwhelming, it’s time to enlist the help of Clary Sage.

Calm and soothing with an herbal aroma, this essential oil helps to set the tone as you banish uncertainty and re-instill a sense of confidence in your mind.

Add a few drops of this oil to your diffuser for a soothing aroma you can use to visualize your intentions. Apply a few drops of Clary Sage to your hands and deeply breathe in the calming aroma. Close your eyes and repeat:

"As I connect with my ambitions, confidence blooms within me."

By speaking this into truth, you’ll feel more and more compelled to act, even if a dash of fear still remains. You can flip the script on uncertainty, asserting confidence in your abilities instead.

 
 

VETIVER

Creativity is the foundational building block of all new beginnings. The path isn’t always going to be obvious from the start, which means once you’ve determined what the goal is, a little creativity may help with arriving there.

Vetiver is an inspirational powerhouse that fuels imaginative ideas while keeping you grounded in the real world. When it comes time to manifest a new reality, try diffusing a blend with 3 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Vetiver, then breathe deeply as you visualize all the innovative ways you can accomplish your dreams.

Releasing your mind to freely play around with possibilities can open new doors you never previously considered. To create an atmosphere of exploration, repeat this mantra with Vetiver as your guide:

"I give myself permission to limitlessly pursue what I desire in life."

 
 

TRANSFORMATION

Things will change as you grow and adapt to life’s curveballs. That’s why it is so important to be in tune with yourself, recognizing which habits can stay and what areas of your life are ready for change.

As you ponder your next big move, apply 2–4 drops of Transformation to your feet and gently massage as you connect to divine energy.

Try diffusing Transformation during times when you feel like you could benefit from its mind-cleansing aroma,  offering positivity, growth, and inspirational tranquility with the changes ahead.

Gary D. Young said: “Transformation is a wonderful blend for your diffuser to set up the frequency for transformation while you write down the goals you want to achieve for the new year; where you want to be with your health, your belief system, your attitude, or your financial condition. Just write down where you are now, where you want to be, and what you would like to become through this transformational year.”

 
 

ABUNDANCE

Scent, emotion, and memory are closely connected. By associating the unique aroma of an essential oil with a positive affirmation, the two will become one. Each time you encounter the aroma, those positive thoughts will appear for you and be reinforced! When you introduce a new affirmation, mindfully choose an essential oil blend to match. 

Abundance is an exotic combination of Cinnamon and Orange with fresh notes of Ginger and Clove, making it energizing and uplifting. With this intuitive essential oil at your service, guide your open mind into thinking generously and abundantly. If you believe you’re worthy of the success you visualize, your emotions and behaviors will shift, empowering you to rightfully achieve it. 

“I will achieve whatever I set my open mind to.”

As you speak your words of affirmation each day, apply Abundance topically or simply breathe it in directly from the bottle. Let the aroma propel you into success and surpass your goals!

 
 
 
 
 

SUCCESS MAY LOOK DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE

All personal triumphs are worthy of celebration. There's no need to compare one's progress to another, and the time and energy spent bettering oneself is never wasted. If you've made New Year's Resolutions centered on personal growth and uplifting your daily mindset, I hope you discover encouraging inspiration in the following healthy mindsets.

IMPORTANCE OF PURPOSE

A purpose provides direction to one's life. This doesn't mean you must discover only one purpose or have some grand plan already figured out. However, without any sense of purpose, you risk living by the standards of others, or "following the crowd". You deserve to live up to your full potential. Any vision you create in your mind's eye will be the life you live. It significantly helps to have an idea of what your purpose is — something you can passionately pour your heart into. Don't overthink this one! Whatever brings you true joy is the direction you should be looking.

ONLY YOU DETERMINE YOUR MOOD

Mornings generally have great potential to produce hectic stress, but that doesn't have to determine your mood for the day. Waking earlier to rush less could alter your whole day. Dedicate a little extra time to care for yourself. Maybe this looks like making your bed, getting a workout in, or enjoying a hot coffee slowly. Diffuse your essential oils, pause long enough to nourish your body with a healthy breakfast, remember your vitamins – and do whatever is needed to arrive at the best version of yourself before you face the day.

Only you determine your mood, including how you react to things around you.

EMBRACE RESTARTING

Failure is not a stopping point. It's simply part of the process; a stepping stone. It's more commendable to take a failed attempt at something and choose to learn from it, then keep going. You need that to form the mental patterns of a successful and driven individual.

Continue evolving your skills until you accomplish the intended outcome. Each experience you choose to learn from will add up along the way. This earns you confidence in future opportunities, no matter what area of life we're talking about here.

EXIST WITH POSITIVITY

The power of your thoughts may astound you. Be aware of that voice inside your head and use it to your advantage. Practice productive and kind thoughts about others, as well as about yourself. Replace all the negative verbiage sloshing around your head with positive affirmations instead, even if you have to force them at first. You will soon find that it becomes a habit to choose empowering words.

Conquering this ability as your default inner monologue is almost a superpower. What could you accomplish if no energy was wasted on negativity?  

BRANCH OUT & TAKE RISKS

Stepping out of your comfort zone allows for new experiences and new connections. You deserve to uncover the potential waiting for you on the other side of an assumed risk, but the first thing you must do is take that leap. Metaphorically speaking, if you read the same book over and over, there will never be any new stories gained. Enter the new year with new "books", turn new pages full of exciting experiences, and you can even write your own chapters. If the start of a new year inspires you along with so many others to begin chasing your aspirations, I encourage you to start without holding back.

The famous saying goes, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars".

LEARN & LET GO

If it's not empowering you, release it

You can't experience growth if you're still holding on to what made you feel small and stuck. With this new year, appreciate all you've learned, but decide to move on from anything weighing you down. Moving forward is not achieved by revisiting the past, and it's critical that you not only focus on what's ahead but also make plans for the steps after that.

Always aim ahead and beyond, knowing you need not be held back by anything that doesn't serve your purpose.

Essential Oils can support you to feel empowered as you implement these mindsets in your daily life. I believe in you!
