MOTIVATE yourself

8/12/2020

0 Comments

 
During the summer months, our routines shift. And certainly in this time of Covid, other patterns and habits have shifted as well. We can find ourselves overwhelmed by uncertainty and thoughts of the future. We may have become lulled into the unscheduled freedoms of summer-- and that can be a very necessary and useful reboot for us.  Yet, that unscheduled schedule is typically not sustainable.  We are in need of new rhythms, especially as a precarious school year looms. 

I'm terrible with rhythms. I'm more of an easygoing, flow by the seat of my pants person. But this practice is truly not easy going. I know that when I DO follow a rhythm, I can be more present because I don't need to worry about the other things I need to do; those things have their own place in my rhythm. Magically, space opens up for me in a way that seems to create more hours in my day and allows for creativity and accomplishment that wakes up my capacities for enjoyment and satisfaction in life, even while doing the seemingly mundane tasks of everyday modern living.
We often talk in yoga and spiritual circles about simply "BEing" but that does not mean you are not "DOing".  In fact, "action" is often the key to bringing yourself to the present moment. Be clear that this is not about BUSY-ness, it's about consciously activating your life. You can sit in meditation and that is consciously acting/doing. You can consciously decide to clean your kitchen, and this is a mindful act. In all this action, you are not only DOing but you are also BEing.  It's like feeding two birds with one scone!

SOMETIMES YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, BUT IT'S HARD TO GET YOURSELF TO DO IT.
Self-discipline is a conscious act. And consciously you can still need help with it.  My go-to tool for helping me with this is Motivate® - an essential oil blend by doTERRA. I have a handful of top oils that help me where I need an extra bit of help to do the things I want to do. Days where I feel lazy, overwhelmed or underwhelmed, or paralyzed, I can't tell you how useful Motivate® has been for me. 

It's called the "Encouraging Blend" and includes a blend of mint and citrus essential oils. For some reason, it smells like vanilla to me.​ It is used for enhancing feelings of confidence, courage, and positivity.  For me, it just works.

How I use it: typically I use the Motivate® Touch, a roller bottle already mixed with a carrier oil, and I dab it at the pressure points on my wrists and behind my ears. I'll keep this near me to reapply as necessary. You can also choose to diffuse it in the air.  

Let me know if you try it and how it works for you.  Get your Motivation on and Enjoy Life!!

PS. Right now (August 2020), Motivate® Touch is 15% off.  Get this from my store here-- select "Shop" at the top menu bar.

    I am the Essential Soul Mama. I am a mama, a soulful-spiritual teacher, an intentional storyteller, and a lover of stories of all kinds, in all forms.  I write about emotions, parenting, natural health options, mind-body-soul connections, and anything that elevates our lives.
    I bring joy & health to my life and my family with the help of doTerra essential oils (EOs)- just one of the ways to bring elevating vibratory frequencies into our bodies. And I am all about elevating! 

    ​I call this journey: "Adventures in Life Yoga". Because Life IS Yoga (think: mindful living; a sense of wonder and awareness). And my hope is to share and inspire and serve so that more of us can feel that liberating sense of freedom which comes from walking in our Truth and in our Self-Authority.
