Intentional October
As 2021 flies along, I have been feeling so much lighter and inspired, incorporating small, doable wellness tasks into my day. Starting my day with a simple goal in mind has helped me to feel more present and intentional with my days. The end result is that I feel more connected and calm, and - well - intentional.
Here are the four areas that I focused on in October. You could try one, or try all four. I have paired them with diffuser blends because you know me, my diffusers are always going, and essential oils bring so much benefit into my home.
| Unplug for one hour before bedtime |
That moment when you read a line that is so well written that you close the book and just stare at the wall for a minute. We all need more of those moments…
Escaping into someone else’s story can do wonders for the mind and the soul. Even better is sharing those quiet moments with someone you love and creating a magical experience you just can’t get enough of.
Pair your unplugged escape with this “Get Quiet” diffuser blend. Bergamot and Vetiver are two of my favourite oils to wind down to sleep with.
| Write down 3 things to accomplish tomorrow |
When everything is spinning out of control around us there is one thing you can control. Plan your days! Don’t allow the media or the social media frenzy to sabotage your good intentions.
Simply write three things down you wish to do the next day to improve the opportunity of actually making those things happen tenfold.
Add in this great blend to help motivate those positive ideas. I always get so much done when Spearmint is in my diffuser #oilhack
| Focus on your lunch without your phone |
This one can be tough…
Especially nowadays since so many of us work from our phones. Being present at meals is not only important for those you’re sharing your meal with in order to create connection and great conversation - it also aids in mindful eating.
Being unplugged so much this past summer and having a no phones at the dinner table really helped us foster this good habit. It’s not perfect but I’m aware and I think that's a good start.
What do your intentional eating habits look like?
Try out this great “in the present” diffuser blend.
| Savor a mug of coffee slowly, without phones or people |
This coffee trick makes it taste so much better....
After I’ve filled my early morning self-care cup I’ll sit and savor my morning coffee.
No scrolling, no multitasking, no talking, just me and my hot cup of coffee.
Would you prefer to wake up extra early to experience this too, or take an afternoon break and to do the same?
Prep your diffuser the night before and try this delicious morning blend to have diffusing to heighten the experience. Citrus oils are known for bringing energy to your space.
