SEPTEMBER IS THE NEW JANUARY!
Inspiration and motivation, two things I definitely feel in September
After 6 lovely weeks with my kids off school I am more than a happy to return to work with renewed vigour and inspiration. I have managed to keep my work ticking over throughout August , but I do sense a renewed energy as September approaches and I can launch back into the swing of things.
However, that may not be the case for everyone. So to enhance that, why not try burning a few essential oils that are known to encourage vigour, clarification and motivation!
If using an essential oil burner for the first time, make sure you have one that has a glazed bowl. This is the space where you place a small amount of water and your drops of essential oils. Always place your burner on a coaster or mat to prevent damage to your furniture and place above the height of toddler reach! A great place to have a burner is on your desk or wherever you do your work, admin, writing, thinking.
Two or three essential oils together will enhance their therapeutic synergy and make for a more pleasant aroma. Any of the essential oils mentioned below will work together.
Essential oils for Motivation & Clarification
Frankincense, Boswellia carterii, a fantastic oil to take your thoughts and feelings forward. It has the ability to calm the breath so if you’re are feeling overwhelmed it could offer you the ‘breathing space’ you need to make a calm decision as opposed to hasty one.
Cardamon, Elettaria cardamomum, a cephalic, this means it works directly to bring space and clarity to the mind. Great for jumbled thoughts and procrastination.
Lemon, Citrus limonum, fresh, uplifting and motivational. It’s also a great anti-bacterial, so will boost your immune system for the coming cooler months.
Grapefruit, Citrus paradises, cleansing and cooling, great if you feel stagnant and unable to get going.
Bergamot, Citrus bergamia, it has a sweet and green aroma that is both uplifting and relaxing. Therefore a regulator and useful to have around!
Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, A stimulating and vibrant essential oil. It has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for centuries and can renew enthusiasm and bolster self-confidence.
Choose your combination of oils, add to the essential oil burner 6 drops in total of your chosen essential oils, light the candle and get to work!
