My Secret to Productivity: 4 Essential Oils That Keep Me on Track in 2023
It's hard to believe that we're already well into 2023! For many of us, this year has been full of new challenges and goals to achieve. With so much to do, it's essential to find ways to stay focused, energized, and motivated to grind through those long to-do lists.
One thing that helped me support my productivity and mental clarity is by using essential oils.
Essential oils are potent plant extracts that can be used for a wide range of health and wellness benefits, including improving focus, reducing stress, and boosting cognitive function.
In this blog post, I'll cover four essential oils that have been particularly helpful for me to stay on track this 2023.
Vetiver Essential Oil
Vetiver essential oil is renowned for its ability to promote serious focus and concentration. This grounding oil can help stabilize emotions and moods, allowing for clearer thinking and attention to detail. It's especially useful when working on complex tasks that require sustained focus over an extended period. Vetiver oil has a woody, earthy scent that can create a peaceful and focused atmosphere.
To use vetiver essential oil, add a few drops to a diffuser or mix with a carrier oil and apply topically to your pulse points. You can also apply it to the bottoms of your feet, particularly the big toe, as this area is believed to be connected to the brain and can help promote focus and mental clarity.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense essential oil has been used for centuries for its ability to center and ground emotions, balance mood, and relax the mind. It's another excellent oil for promoting mental clarity and focus. Frankincense oil can improve long and short-term memory and learning functions, making it useful for studying or other mentally demanding tasks. It has a warm, woody scent that can be both calming and invigorating.
To use frankincense essential oil, add a few drops to a diffuser or mix with a carrier oil and apply topically to your temples or the back of your neck. You can also inhale the scent of frankincense oil directly from the bottle or by placing a few drops on a tissue.
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is a classic oil known for its calming properties. It can help reduce stress levels, calm nerves, and tackle hectic days and long to-do lists. When you're feeling overwhelmed, using lavender oil can help you relax and concentrate easier. Lavender oil has a fresh, floral scent that can create a peaceful and soothing atmosphere.
To use lavender essential oil, add a few drops to a diffuser or mix with a carrier oil and apply topically to your wrists or the soles of your feet. You can also add a few drops to a warm bath or mix with Epsom salt for a relaxing and rejuvenating soak.
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Cedarwood essential oil is another grounding oil that can help calm the mind, improve brain activity, and decrease signs and symptoms of ADHD. It has a woodsy, earthy scent that can help create a peaceful and focused atmosphere. Cedarwood oil can help balance emotions and moods, allowing for clearer thinking and greater productivity.
To use cedarwood essential oil, add a few drops to a diffuser or mix with a carrier oil and apply topically to your neck and chest. You can also add a few drops to a cotton ball and place it in your pillowcase for a restful night's sleep.
2023 has been a year of challenges so far, but I've found solace in using essential oils to stay grounded and focused. These four oils have been particularly helpful in keeping me motivated and energized.
But if you're looking for a more intensive and targeted way to experience the benefits of essential oils, I highly recommend trying The Raindrop Therapy.
Raindrop therapy is a unique approach to aromatherapy that uses a specialized technique to apply essential oils directly to the spine and feet. This targeted application can help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
Plus, with a trained practitioner guiding you through the process, you can rest assured that you're getting the most out of your essential oils.
So if you're ready to take your self-care routine to the next level, consider booking a raindrop therapy session. Your mind, body, and spirit will thank you for it.
