😬 Stress Less: OH YES! 😍


I don’t know about you, but this is the time of year when my nerves get a bit frazzled and I tend to feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. 

I also know that when I intentionally practice some stress management techniques, I feel halfway human again. Here are some great tips for you...


You may realize that you are experiencing stress because you feel more irritable, fatigued, less motivated, or overwhelmed. You may also get sick more easily or your sleep is off. First, it's important to see it, so you can do something to help yourself!

Stress Less Tip: Don't forget to diffuse your oils or apply them on your wrists, ears, and over the heart. Stress Away, Joy, Valor, and Peace & Calming are a few of my faves. 

What oil can you carry with you to use when you recognize stress? I want to encourage you to look through your oil stash & see what can work for you!

When you need a little extra internal boost, look at Cortistop as an internal jumpstart. You can learn more about that on the product description on Young Living’s website, in our team’s Facebook group, or on the Life Steps app. 


Even though it may feel impossible during busy times, stopping for a few minutes to do absolutely nothing may be the perfect recharge that your body and brain need.

Get out and move as part of your break. This doesn't have to be strenuous exercise. Simple, natural movement can be highly effective. A walk or quick stretch can do a world of good! Sniff some Peppermint or prep a drink with AminoWise + NingXia Red to help keep you motivated.


This may sound weird if you’ve never studied this before… but going barefoot and/or lying on the ground relaxes and restores our nervous system to its natural, optimal state. The best time to do this is right before bed, but it can be done anytime! Don’t be afraid to go out even if it’s cold. A quick trip outside can have a significant impact!

While outside, practice “Square Breathing” with Frankincense oil or another tree oil. Hold the bottle up to your nose and breathe in for a count of 4, hold your breath for 4, breathe out for 4, and pause for 4. Let me know how it feels when you try this! I’d love to hear what you think. 😊


Boundaries are so important because, without them, we lose sight of who we are and what our purpose is. When you decide to set a boundary, those in your life may be surprised, shocked, or even try to undermine them. Keep remembering why you set that boundary in the first place. This can take some time before it feels comfortable, but it’s worth it. You’re worth it!

Here are some other tips about setting boundaries:
  • Learn how freeing it is to say "No" or "Not right now"
  • Detach from work and electronics when you are at home or with loved ones
  • Manage your time through a timer when working on a to-do list
Apply Believe essential oil and say: "I can choose who and how I want to be in each new moment." 

^^^ This tip alone can change your life!

Do you have Believe or do you want some other options?


Lastly, I'd like to give a shoutout to ✨ GRATITUDE. ✨

This, by far, must be the thing that helps me the most in times of stress (and in everyday life as well). When I'm feeling all of the big emotions (anxiety, overwhelm, sadness, etc), I redirect my thoughts to all the goodness in my life. This takes a bit of training your brain to be able to do this, but it's 100% effective. There is always something to be grateful for. 💜

I would like to challenge you now to pick one of these tips and work on practicing it for the next two days. I feel a significant difference when I do these things, and I think you will too! Which one are you going to try?

Thanks for taking the time to learn with me. Having tools is one thing, but using them is another. These tips (and your oils) only work when you use them. I’m glad to be able to be a cheerleader for you and to be on this journey with you! You’ve got this, friend!

🙌 Seize the Day with the “Great Day Protocol!” 🙌

Have you ever woken up feeling unstoppable and ready to seize the day? Perhaps you know someone who radiates this energy and confidence at the crack of dawn. Whether you’re a morning person or not, there’s no denying that the first moments set the mood for the rest of the day. Get to know the "Great Day Protocol" today!

Incorporating essential oils into your morning routine can amplify your intentions and enhance your feelings of confidence so you can start your day from a place of strength. Layering and blending specific oils in distinct ways can help cultivate the right mindset, focus the intentions, and provide an emotional anchor throughout your day.

That’s why Young Living founder, D. Gary Young, put together an empowering essential oil routine, the Great Day Protocol. Known for his vision and belief in pursuing that vision despite obstacles, there was never a goal too large or impossible for Gary to achieve. The four elevating oils in this protocol embrace this sentiment, and when used together are a powerful way to start each day with intention and empowerment (not to mention, you’ll smell amazing).

GARY’S GREAT DAY PROTOCOL: A STEP BY STEP GUIDE

Step 1: Valor (my all-time favorite oil!)

  • Place 1 drop of Valor on the inside of your left wrist. Place your left wrist over the inside of your right wrist so that the insides of both wrists are touching and hold together for a moment. 
  • Focus your mind on balancing, holding your wrists in place. The powerful combination of ingredients in Valor delivers strengthening and refreshing qualities, supporting feelings of courage and self-esteem.

Step 2: Harmony

  • Place 1 drop of Harmony above your belly button to promote positive feelings, calming down your mind.
  • This spiritual and emotional blend is balancing and calming and may help reduce occasional everyday stress and discord, by creating harmonic balance in the mind, spirit, and body.

Step 3: Joy

  • Place 1 drop of Joy above your heart to bring about feelings of happiness to your mind and body. 
  • Create a joyful and happy aromatic experience with this uplifting blend of pure essential oils such as Rose, Jasmine, Tangerine, Bergamot, and others.

Step 4: White Angelica

  • Place 1 drop of White Angelica in your palms and rub together. Lightly brush hands over your head, face, shoulders, and body to uplift your spirits and protect your energies. 
  • Lovingly harvested from plants native to exotic destinations around the world, the 10 essential oils in White Angelica come together to create a one-of-a-kind blend that inspires a positive atmosphere and feelings of security and optimism.

Obstacles and challenges are inevitable as you go after your dreams, but it’s important to remember that you have the power to make huge changes in your life. And those changes all begin with establishing an uplifting morning routine to start each day with positivity!

For an extra "boost," I love to say these affirmations aloud as I apply the oils (optional but highly effective): 



The Great Day Protocol can be adapted as needed, based on your personal needs. Build this into your daily routine and see how it changes your life! I can’t wait to hear what you think. 💜



💣My Best Success Tips💣

I hope your Thanksgiving was so lovely! I am feeling beyond grateful for this incredible life I get to live.  I am feeling the holiday spirit; so without further adieu, I want to give you the gift of success this year. Keep reading for my best tips, wrapped up all nice and neat! Then, you'll have to let me know what you think!

I have been thriving in the entrepreneurial space for a few years now, and not without some serious lessons learned along the way. My first little golden nugget of wisdom:

Don't re-invent the wheel.

I tell this to the leaders that I train all the time. If it is already done, use it! Don't make your life harder by trying to do it all instead of taking advantage of third party resources.
 
Okay, my second piece of advice, are you ready?

Building a business is 80% mindset. 

Please, listen to me right now, you can't build an empire while doubting yourself and refusing to grow through what you go through. DON'T MISS THIS: You can't only focus on personal development. The 20% is so important, you absolutely have to take action!!! However, action with doubt is as good as inaction. 

This book is a great read, and it's action steps really grew me as a leader. I highly recommend checking it out, if you need a place to start working on abundance mindset & personal development. 

Last, but not least, my third piece of wisdom! 

Every day, without fail, make the choice that supports the life you want to live.

What I mean is, set your eyes on your future and don't stop until you are living the dream. Every single decision you make day in and day out should mirror the life you want to live. If you want financial freedom, make the choice to keep your head down and work today despite what others are doing. If you want to have an empire, decide today what choices get you one step closer, then take those steps.

You always have a cheerleader over here, waiting to celebrate every success with you.
