The new year represents a new chapter in each of our lives and an opportunity to set goals and resolutions for the coming year. But we understand that for many of you, the uncertainty of the past 2 years has made goals seem daunting and perhaps unattainable. Here at Young Living, we believe that self-belief is the key to making 2023 a successful and fulfilling year and that one of the best ways to boost that inner confidence is by practising positive daily affirmations with the help of essential oils.
What are affirmations?
To put it simply, affirmations are short, positive statements that you can repeat, either aloud or in your head, to help overcome negative thoughts and instead encourage self-esteem. It’s about shifting your mindset from one of self-doubt and apprehension to one of self-confidence and empowerment to take action and realise your goals. After all, anything is possible if you just believe!
How can essential oils help with affirmations?
It is well known that scent, emotion, and memory are closely connected. By associating the unique fragrance of an essential oil with an affirmation, it means that each time you breathe in that scent, those specific positive thoughts will be reinforced. Each time you introduce a new affirmation into your life, choose an essential oil or blend to match. As you speak your words of affirmation each day, either apply the oil topically or simply breathe in the scent directly from the bottle. Let the beautiful scents inspire and motivate you to achieve your goals.
