If you spend any time following me on social media, I’m sure you’ve discovered by now how passionate I am about incorporating essential oils into my everyday life, especially when running my business. Today let’s talk about Essentials for running a business. 

There are so many ways that using essential oils can help to elevate your business, but for me, one of the main reasons I reach for my oils during the workday is to help me manage my ever-changing emotions. Here are the essentials for running a Business…

From stress to anxiety and everything in between, running your own business can feel like a roller coaster of feelings and I don’t know how I could run my business effectively without the help of my essential friends. 

And I’ll be completely honest with you, when I first started using essential oils and saw that little bottle of Stress Away in my kit, I burst out laughing. No amount of plant juice was ever going to help calm these emotions, I was sure of it!

But then I started to research the benefits of aromatherapies and how scents connect with our limbic system and I began to change my tune. Maybe there was something to this. Maybe I shouldn’t be so quick to write off their benefits.

Essential oils are able to penetrate through the olfactory sense (our sense of smell) to the limbic part of the brain which is considered our emotional center. Essential oils make their way into our bloodstream, passing the blood-brain barrier, and begin to do their good works as we inhale their sweet scents.

Our limbic system starts to absorb those scents and begins to tell our brains to relax, let go, and recharge.

I don’t know about you, but in the course of my work day, there are so many moments when I need to take a second to relax, let go, and recharge. From the demands of running a business all while running my household, it’s so easy for me to become overwhelmed but I have found that taking a break, applying my oils, and refocusing my mind has made all the difference for my emotional health and productivity. 

Essential oils help to inspire a positive emotional state just as certain scents bring up unique memories, essential oils can do the same. They can help keep mood swings under control, support depression and anxiety, and help to enhance your quality of sleep. Um, yes, please. Sign me up! I think it’s safe to say that most entrepreneurs aren’t getting enough sleep, but think about how much more productive you could become with a full night of uninterrupted sleep! 

Using essential oils during my work day has made a huge impact on how I manage stress, anger, sadness, and every other emotion that comes with running a business.

We all deserve freedom from our wild and crazy emotions, we might as well use something natural to support them!

If you are looking for a quick fix for ALL the emotions, I cannot recommend snagging a Feelings Kit enough. I restock mine every couple of months and use it every single day to help manage healthy emotions while running my business. 

It is a kit of 6 oils formulated for overall emotional health and it is totally changing how I handle my feelings. You can snag your own kit here!

Break free from the emotions that hold you back and walk in the freedom of running a business with a clear mind and happy heart! It has been one of the best things I have ever done for my business and it’s a routine I’ll never stop incorporating into my day!  Thank you for joining me to chat about the essentials to running a business.
