Some days your skies are clear, blue, and beautiful—and some days your picnic plans are interrupted with an unexpected storm warning. But don’t worry! Ruined plans can be a bummer, but the sun will come out again soon. In the meantime, try one of these essential oil blends that will remind you of getting a great, big hug!
SARA™ is a sweet blend of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Rose. Think of SARA as a big sister, ready to wrap you up in a quilt, hand you a cup of cocoa, and comfort you with compassion. Try rubbing a drop of this blend onto your wrists when you feel like you could use a listening ear. Dilute it with a few drops of a carrier oil to keep your skin happy.
If you have way too many alarms set on your phone, an ever-growing to-do list, or a pile of dirty dishes that keeps doubling in size, you might want to reach for Present Time™. Diffuse this delicate scent as you take a minute to reconnect with the present and let go of the expectations you have for yourself. Once you feel calmer, consider doing those dishes before the leftovers grow legs!
Ready to let go of some of the “nope” from your day? Throw on some jams, roll out your yoga mat, and diffuse Release™. After stretching out and focusing on your breathing, you might just feel like saying, “Heck yes!” instead.
Sometimes all we need is a little nature. Even if you can’t get outside, you can connect with your roots by taking a tech detox for a few hours while diffusing Grounding™. This blend of White Fir, Black Spruce, and Pine combines into a forest-inspired aroma. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent of the great outdoors as you enjoy some quiet time.
Looking for some sunshine? Try a little Hope™. While it can’t really change the weather, it might just be the bright spot on a dark day. This gentle blend can be added to a favorite lotion, diffused, or applied topically.
Couldn’t we all use a little more Peace & Calming® in our lives? This gentle blend is one of our most popular essential oil blends, and for good reason! Whether you need a bear hug or are trying to settle in for a night’s hibernation, diffusing this scent adds a special something to the end of a long day.
It can be hard to gather your thoughts after a long day. Or gather your family for dinner. Or gather strength to keep up on your goals. Sound familiar? Try diffusing Gathering™ as you turn daily chaos into calmness by journaling, meditating, or writing an award-worthy to-do list.

The oil I use most often is Thieves. I diffuse it in my office when it's cold & flu season. I have used it directly on tooth aches and my throat area when I feel I might be getting sick. Great multi-use oil!
I have used lavender for comfort. It always seems to relax me. I put it in a diffuser and let it sooth my problems away. Plus it calms the dog and my significant and whoever happens to visit me.
Love it! I use Valor regularly but would love to try some of these other oils!
I'm new to the oils so would love to try some stress reducers~ looking for suggestions!
Valor, StressAway, and Release have been most helpful to me. I love Young Living Essential Oils!
I haven't used Valor, Sacred Mountain or Highest Potential yet. But I've heard lots of great and amazing things about them from friends. Of the oils and blends I do have, I really like Peace and Calming. I also like diffusing tea tree with lime and lemon. This created a relaxing and peaceful feeling. My friend liked it so much at a 101 class that she said she was going to diffuse that combo at home to help relax before bedtime.
Valor has become one of my favorites! I would love to try the others!!
Loving my Peace & Calming for stress...ready to try Valor and some of the other blends.
I love to wear and diffuse Harmony, clarity and abundance! It enriches my life by promoting a positive attitude, clear mind that just calls amazing goodness to come to me! Feeling blessed to have these oils!
