Ways to Use Essential Oils

For starters, I feel like I should make one thing very clear: I DO NOT SELL ESSENTIAL OILS!!  I’m not close with anyone that does, either!  And I don’t even know enough about them to endorse any one company that sells them!  Some of you are die hard oil lovers, and others might be anti- and I like all of you regardless:) While I’m a huge believer in modern medicine, I’m also pretty open to trying alternative/natural remedies.  The idea of learning about oils (does it seem like a different language to anyone else?) kind of overwhelmed me for a long time though.  I wasn’t interested in trying them out until recently.  I decided I’d see what all the fuss was about, and I got a basic essential oils starter kit last month.
I know the placebo effect is a very real thing, but I genuinely feel like they’ve helped around our house with little ailments and illnesses.  If nothing else they’ve been a good, natural addition to our medicine cabinet! And bonus!  Most of them smell really good!  The thing that has always been the most confusing to me is knowing what to do with each oil.  How do I use them?  What do I use them for?  How do I know what to do?  I got a Modern Essentials Reference Card, and it has come really in handy.  Below, I’m going to share some of the most common ailments it lists, and how to treat them!

‘Live in the now’ is a phrase that you probably hear every single day, as we are starting to become aware of our tendency to focus more on our past and future, rather than living in the moment. The idea of being mindful isn’t a new one; it’s all to do with being more conscious of your life as it actually happens. It is, however, a way of life that is becoming more relevant as we are increasingly bombarded by temptations from our past and for our futures.

Consider a typical working day. You might be the kind of person who likes to make lists and plan ahead, which isn’t a problem unless you discover that all you seem to do is plan for the future, and that you don’t have any time left to actually do your work. It can be the same with the past – rather than constantly analysing results or performance from the previous weeks or years, you could be getting on with the task at hand.
This can be applied to all aspects of your life. By being present and living in the now, you will find yourself enjoying the simple things in life more: eating meals, relaxing with family and friends, taking a walk.  Unsure how you can stop thinking about the past and the future and live more in the present? We’ve curated a collection of simple tips to get you started.

single task, don’t multi-task //

When you attempt to do too many tasks at the same time, it’s hard to focus your brain on just the task in hand. Rather than trying to do too much at once, strip things back and concentrate on one thing at once. Cook your meal, then sit and eat, then have a conversation, then listen to the radio.

take your time //

Don’t rush over tasks, however mundane they may seem. If you’re rushing to complete something and thinking about what you are going to be doing next, it’s even harder to live in the moment and fully concentrate on the task in hand.

put your camera away //

We’re not saying don’t take photos, but sometimes it’s nice to not document every thing that you do. Eat your meal as soon as you sit down to the table, rather than pausing to document it. Go for a walk and simply enjoy the scenery, and being among nature without feeling the need to constantly take photographs.

do less //

If you’re going to be taking your time and concentrating on just one task at once, it stands to reason that you may well have to cut down on your daily job lists. You might think this is impossible, but if you write a list of tasks, it is easier to work out what is high priority and what can then be carried over onto another day.

love your job //

If you don’t enjoy your job, you are likely to spend the working week counting down until the weekend and wishing your time away. It’s difficult to live in the now when you’re not happy. So, try to find the positives in your daily tasks and concentrate on enjoying them.

try not to worry //

If you are a natural worrier, you will find it hard to concentrate on the present when you instinctively fret about the future. Try to take things as they come rather than thinking ‘what if’, and worrying about what might happen.

concentrate on the task in hand //

When you’re talking to someone, fully invest yourself in that conversation and don’t let your mind wander to think about what you need to do next. When you’re working on something, allow 100% of your thoughts to concentrate on the task. Don’t let your mind wander and you’ll find that you become more productive and finish tasks sooner.
