Not everyone looks forward to the holiday season. Even those of us who thoroughly enjoy this upcoming season can sometimes be overwhelmed and disappointed at times.
As we begin to start thinking of holiday parties, trees, gifts and glittery magic of the upcoming major holiday season, it’s important to recognize what you need to stay healthy and centered.
Sometimes We Need Peace & Quiet
It’s ok to not accept every invitation or attend every gathering during the season. Sure, it’s nice to see friends and those we’ve not seen in awhile but sometimes we need to have that time for our needs. Our time to rest, reflect and have a moment to ourselves is also very important during this season.
When you have these moments of quiet using oils to diffuse or topically apply can help you relax and recharge.
Here is one our all time favorites for these moments:
Also using the doTERRA Yoga oils is perfect for re centering your energies.
Being With Family Isn’t Always “Fun”
Families are all different and each have their own eccentric way. Bringing together family can be very fulfilling especially during the holidays. It can be very fun to see family that live long distance from you and spend time together. However, this can also be a very stressful and can become strained at times during these visits.
Keep the spirits high and tempers at bay by diffusing oils in the major spaces where family is gathering. These oils support our emotions and help us manage stress when things start to get tense.
Eucalyptus
Peppermint
Wild Orange
Bergamot
Roman Chamomile
Lemon
Citrus Bliss
Cedarwood
A couple options to consider would include:
Balancing Indulgences
This is the “eating season” where we are constantly surrounded with foods and sweets! Every where you go there will be appetizers, buffets, snacks, baked goods and confections. This ongoing eating opportunity frenzy can easily and often does result in weight gain, upset stomachs and feeling sick from over-doing.
Using these supplements can help manage our digestive system during this season and help us process these foods while managing discomforts from over-doing it.
DigestZen
TerraZyme
PBAssist+
As you drink water during the day, add in a drop of Lemon, Citrus Bliss or Slim & Sassy to help detox your body and maintain support to your metabolism.
We Still Have Normal Responsibilities
Even though it is the holiday season, many of us still have to work, kids still have some school and there is the “normal life” routines that are necessary on top of the holiday preparations, parties, shopping and other festivities.
Keeping your immune system boosted can help ward off illness associated with long hours, lots of activities and constant stress. We highly recommend the doTERRA Immune Support Kit.
Start using this kit now before the holidays arrive and throughout the season for the best protection possible.
Silent Night Sleep
With everything that happens in the holiday season it is essential to have enough rest. This is how our bodies restore and recharge so we can go another day.
Support your sleep with natural solutions like these:
Serenity Soft Gels
Sweet Dreams Diffuser Blend
3 drops Serenity
2 drops Vetiver
2 drops Breathe
2 drops Patchouli
