Enjoy where you are or make the change!
Happy March! 

Spring arrives in a few days, it has always been my favorite season; to me it represents hope and new beginnings, anything and everything is possible in spring!  I love spring and I hope you do also!

I am creating a new life for myself and I am excited to see new places and try new things. For 62 years I lived in Wisconsin and endured the winter months. It still feels somewhat surreal to me, for twenty years I had dreamed of retiring in Arizona, but I knew I never wanted to live far from my daughter and grandchildren; I have five beautiful, smart and amazing grandchildren. When my daughter and her family decided to try life on the road, I made the scary decision to retire early and move to Arizona! 

Currently, I am sharing a house with my daughter and her family; I am thrilled to be a part of their daily lives! The change from living with my sister who I only saw on weekends to a household of eight was a bit of an adjustment for me but everything is working out well!
It was months of hard physical work, packing, selling and donating my things and it was emotionally draining, but I managed to make the move across the country! Lots of oils, prayers and the support of family and friends made it happen!

It was a big, scary thing that I did and many times during the process I thought to myself what am I doing? I grew up in an environment that discouraged dreaming, so the mindset change was challenging for me but I did it, if I did it, you can also!

Are you ready to dream but not sure you deserve it, not sure you can do it? 

Join me for tips and tricks to change your life! Find your dream and make it a reality! 



Exercise for your brain

Exercise for your brain

A few years ago I noticed that I was forgetting  more things than in the past so I started looking for ways to support my brain to keep it strong and healthy. Exercise is one way to do this. 

We have all heard about how important exercise is for the body and overall health so I would like to highlight some points on how it affects the brain. 

One of the ways exercise helps the brain is that it can improve the quality of your sleep. Exercising early in the day can produce deeper sleep, and deeper sleep is more healing for brain function. We need to get to stage 3 sleep for the cleaning and healing to begin. 

Another way exercise improves brain function is  through neuroplasticity, which allows the brain to form new connections and adapt to life's changes. Exercise also improves the blood flow and this improves the clarity of our thoughts.

 It will also release endorphins which can help you focus on the positive things in your life which will improve your overall mindset as well as mood. 

Aerobic exercise seems to produce the best results for these brain improvements. This can be as simple as walking, or as intense as HIIT training  (High Intensity Interval Training.) HIIT is pushing yourself for 30 seconds and then recovering,  then repeat for up to 15 minutes 

 Always remember to start where you  are and make small daily improvements. Overdoing it can cause injury and setbacks so don’t push too hard just decide to develop a habit. 

Rewarding yourself for what you did today will help you to repeat the action tomorrow, the reward can be as simple as an affirmation or a healthy treat. 

Need a boost to get started? Grab your peppermint oil, add a drop to your hands and then inhale deeply a few times.

If you don’t have oils yet, we can help you get the best quality oils delivered right to your door.
