What do you say to adopting new routines for the new year? 

I just love this time of year and all of the promise of change and new beginnings that it brings. It’s the fresh start we’re all needing and I try really hard to make the most of it. While some people choose a resolution or a word for the year, I’m committing this year to new habits and routines that promote wellness and keep us running at our best! 

The best way I know how to do that is by incorporating Young Living essential oils into our daily routines! These may be practices that you have already implemented in your day-to-day, but if you haven’t yet, I encourage you to spend this new year reaching for your oils on a daily basis!

Take a look at how you can easily adopt new routines this year: 

NEW ROUTINES FOR THE NEW YEAR:

1. Diffuse all day, every day. 

Run your diffuser when you first wake up, refill it when it shuts off, and fill it again before bed! It truly doesn’t even matter what you choose to diffuse, your body will know what to do with whatever you offer it! Just simply make a promise to yourself that you will diffuse continually throughout your day. This will help to lift spirits and calm attitudes, making your home or office space the perfect peaceful oasis you deserve. 

Pro tip: Leave a glass or pitcher of water beside every diffuser for easy filling! 

2. Add Vitality oils to food or drink. 

A new routine we could all benefit from is drinking more water throughout the day. Am I right? Make your water more enjoyable and add a tasty punch by adding a drop of your favorite vitality oil. You can also add them in when you’re cooking and baking as a substitute or extra kick to your favorite dish! 

3. Apply oils to your body. 

Whether you’re making roller bottles or whipping up creams, just be sure to use your oils topically for an added benefit. And don’t forget that the best practice is to use them with a carrier oil, like coconut or jojoba oil, in order to protect your skin. Applying oil topically is like walking around with your own personal diffuser while they go to work in your body and I can’t think of anything better than that! 

Adding essential oils into your daily routine doesn’t need to be complicated. Simply use them however you feel comfortable as often as possible. No matter what oils you reach for, your body will find a way to use them, so don’t feel like you have to know all the recipes in the world. Simply choose oils that feel right for you and use them every day! I hope this new year brings you new opportunities to use and love your oils!

You can’t go wrong, no matter what you choose! As long as you’re choosing Young Living!

And you may be asking…

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oil is the aromatic, volatile liquid that is within many shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds and that is usually extracted through steam distillation.

The chemistry of essential oil is very complex and may consist of hundreds of different and unique chemical compounds. Each oil is a complex structure of hundreds of different chemical constituents. Essential oils are highly concentrated and far more potent than dried herbs because of the distillation process that makes them so concentrated. It requires large volumes of plant material to produce small amounts of distilled essential oil.

AND WHY DO I NEED THEM?

Essential oils have the unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and travel throughout the blood and tissues. The lipid-soluble structure of essential oils is very similar to the makeup of our cell membranes and the molecules of essential oils are small, which allows them to penetrate into our cells and support our bodies naturally. 

As you introduce new routines for the new year, be sure to put “using essential oils” at the top of your list. There’s no better way to care for your family and set you up for a successful fresh start!
