Essential Oils To Help You Reflect + Reset

Are you feeling in need of a little reset? Or perhaps a big one?

Mid year is a great time for reflecting and resetting in any area of your life.

But remember, a reset can be done at any time...

It might be a weekly reset, a monthly reset, a yearly reset.

Or perhaps when you're starting a new chapter of life or going through a change - it could be moving, a new job or any transition.

With any reset I think there is always an element of reflection.

So I thought I’d share some simple questions you can ask yourself when reflecting.

1. How am I feeling about the past week/month/year?
2. What am I most proud of in the past week/month/year?
3. What felt hard / challenging in the past week/month/year?
4. What would I like to let go of from the last week/month/year?
5. What am I most grateful for from the last week/month/year?

Grab your journal or a notebook or any old piece of paper, it really doesn’t matter, and answer these questions honestly.

Remember, this is about you and nobody else needs to read it, so be open and honest with yourself. It will help guide you as you reset for the next week, month, chapter of life.

Now lets choose some essential oils that align really beautifully with this process of reflection and will help you to reset with ease...

Here are my five favourites...

cypress to encourage openness and honestly and assist in times of transition and change, restoring calm to your spirit.

juniper to cleanse, refresh, clear negative energy and allow positivity to flow.

pine to cleanse, bring positive energy and strength while giving you the confidence to let go of what no longer serves you well.

lemon to uplift and refresh wile enhancing optimism, motivation and joy. A very happy oil - sunshine in a bottle - brings a beautiful light positive energy into your day.

cedarwood to ground and centre, enhance self love and help you to release emotional tension and feel deeply soothed and harmonised.

Choose the essential oil you are most drawn to. You might like to combine two or three to create a personal blend that works for you.

Here's two diffuser blends you might like to try...

• 3 drops lemon + 1 drop of cedarwood to deeply calm and bring positivity and optimism.
• 3 drops pine + 2 drops juniper to cleanse the spirit, release + let go.

I hope this helps you whenever you are doing a reset.

Until next time, remember to choose what feels nourishing for you in this moment.

In health + happiness, Dee.
