This morning, I woke up with all the right intentions - up early, do my yoga, read some of my book then diving into my tasks. But one early morning phone call led to scrolling, then beating myself up for scrolling and not getting up and before I knew it, my energy felt drained and my mind scattered. I had so much to do, but I didn't know where to start, and part of me just wanted to crawl back under the covers.
I knew I needed a reset. Something to help me focus on what I needed to do step by step without rushing trying to catch up, just getting on with my day.
I decided on Lemon Essential Oil to help me, one of my go to's for mental clarity and joy, Lemon always makes me feel bright! A few deep inhales from the bottle helped me breathe a little deeper, and I placed it beside me and did indeed lie down again in bed for 10 minutes with a BrainTap Focus meditation. Lemon's bright citrusy energy cut through the unsettled feeling, lifted my spirits, and helped me tune into the present moment.
Lemon is like sunlight for the mind, it clears confusion, restores focus, and gently reminds us that we can pay attention to one thing at a time. It lifts self-judgment and encourages playfulness, joy, and lightness in the heart.
Once I had a better attitude 🫢 I still felt unsettled in my body - like it still needed to catch up with my mind and settle. So I grabbed my Balance, Balance Essential Oil Blend is all about roots, trees, and presence. It reminds us to slow down, stay grounded, and reconnect with our lower body and the earth. For anyone who tends to escape into thinking, busyness, or disconnection, Balance teaches the importance of showing up - fully, steadily, and patiently.
This blend is a gentle teacher of perseverance. It reminds us that our dream and intentions don't just live in our heads, that they need our presence in the world to take root. Like a tree, Balance encourages patience, inner strength, and grounded energy, helping us manifest our vision step by step.
I rubbed some balance onto my pulse points and into my feet feeling my body start to steady and told myself "I root my focus in the present moment. My ideas have space to grow"
I was so excited about my day and had so many plans, tasks, ideas that I wanted to get started on that I was just thinking and getting myself worked up trying to figure out what to start on first after not getting up and going when I had planned too. Lemon helped me focus and Balance helped me settle and ground and just get started step by step.
Today Lemon and Balance worked beautifully together for me. It was a gentle reminder for me that clarity and presence are not separate from action. When your mind is light and focused and your body is settled and grounded, your intentions have the space to take root and grow. Choosing essential oils by listening to my body checking in with my mind, then going to my Essential Emotions app and intuitively choosing the oils that feel right, each day I'm taking small, intentional steps as my ideas and work blooms into reality, naturally and steadily.
