Choose Wellness: It’s a Lifestyle (Post #13)

As you move forward and start adding these new products to your daily lineup, here is some advice from me, and a heads up on what to expect:

 

THERE ARE NO SMALL SWAPS! Whether you take a big trash bag and throw everything away today, or throw out one item a week until it’s finished, each swap you make is a positive step forward and will have a huge impact on your health! Go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back – this is a big deal and you should be proud!!

THESE ARE NOT REALLY SWAPS, THEY’RE UPGRADES. For some of these products, you should expect to pay more upfront. Cheap comes at a steep cost to our health, and it’s not a cost we’re willing to pay for one day more. The good news is that these are high quality products that last a long time. An initial investment will save you money in the long run! No matter what the cost, please know that you’re worth it. Got that? Your kids are worth it. Your pets are worth it. Whatever the cost, whatever sacrifices need to be made, your family’s health and longevity are worth it.

EXPECT THESE PRODUCTS TO BE DIFFERENT! Don’t let it throw you off. These products are going to look different, feel different, smell different, and act differently. They work fabulously, but they may come with a learning curve because they ARE different! That’s a good thing. Without all of those dangerous ingredients, they won’t act the same. Stick with it! You’ll quickly learn the tricks and hacks, and before long you’ll forget the old ways and never look back!

I must tell you about Essential Rewards! This is how I order my products each month, and it is such a cool program. Essential Rewards is the monthly ordering program from Young Living. It’s optional, but if you are looking to implement the Young Living Lifestyle, it’s a total necessity – and a total no brainer!

Why Did I choose this Lifestyle?

If you’ve been following me, you already know. If you just stumbled upon my blog this morning, you might be surprised! I was 53 years old, when I had a heart attack all from stress. April 27th will be my third anniversary since the day my life changed. Stress has always been a part of my life and I thought I could manage it pretty well. I was always able to hold things together in the moment, but when things started to settle, that’s when my stress really started to build.

April 27th, 2016 was a prime example of how I handled my stress. Except, on this day, my body had said, or God said, ‘enough is enough’!  It took me six long months to recover from Broken Heart Syndrome. I suffered a cardiac arrest, went through an angiogram procedure to check for blockages, and even had a pump inserted to my heart to relieve the pressure on my heart where the pump did the work for my heart.  All of this lead to even more stress as you can imagine! I then had to deal with the stress of potentially dying, losing my family, separation anxiety, etc…..

Not long into my recovery is when I was introduced to essential oils. At first, it was some cheap oils and a diffuser from Amazon which I had no clue of how or why to use them. So I simply started diffusing as the instructions said. It wasn’t long after than that a family member came to visit, saw the oils, and told me to throw them away immediately. Why? essential oils are good for you right!? Well, she went on to inform me that all oils are not the same and that quality matters and is very important! She began to tell me about Young Living Essential Oils, and well here I am about to tell you the same thing!

Young Living has changed my life, helped me remove all of the toxins and chemicals that we breathe in everyday not knowing how they are damaging our bodies. I learned how to use essential oils to help me support my anxieties and stress levels. I leared how to support all of my body systems and feel so much better for it! I feel like a new person!

Please join and follow along as I share with you all of the amazingness that Young Living has to offer! Let me help you take the stress out of your life! Let me help you remove the toxins and harsh chemicals from your home! Let me help you make a Lifestyle Change that will thank me for!

Go With the Flow – Don’t Fight It!

How many times have you fought to make your way through life’s challenges, only to be winded and out of breath as if you had no sails at all to pull you along? We all face these challenges and as hard as it is to believe, God does have a reason. He has a lesson to be learned. His plan is to make you a stronger person who is able to handle this same situation a little better the next time.

During my devotional time this morning with God, I was reading along and it reminded me of a situation my son faced when he was a young teenager. Boys will be boys and on this day him and two of his buddies went down to the stream by our house. We had a lot of rain the day before and the stream was raging. I’ll never understand why he thought it would be fun to try and cross the stream in that state of rage, and I’m guessing neither did God.

The moment he fell in, what days before was a quiet trickling stream of peace and wonderment, became a raging stream of uncertainty and fear. He struggled to get his footing but that was impossible as it quickly hurled him downstream. I can only imagine what he was thinking at that time, but I doubt he was screaming for God at that age. Though I am so grateful to God for being there with him in those few moments. He grabbed the only thing he could, a tree laying across the stream. He held on with all his might, but the current was too strong. He couldn’t get his breath as the water was rushing past him. The current pulled off his shorts and he even lost his shoes. He was fighting the current and fighting God’s will at that moment.

He then realized the only chance he had was to let go. Unbeknownst to him at that time, he let go and let God take over. You see, when we fight the Will of God, we are fighting a losing battle. God always wins. We need to learn to let go and let God lead the way, because when we go with the flow of God, we will always come out ahead better than we ever expected.

Once he let go of that tree, he was quickly moved further down stream where the waters calmed enough to enable him to grab ahold of another tree and pull himself to safety. That was one of the scariest days of our lives and I’m so grateful that God took over and brought him to safety. He could have easily hit his head on a tree or rock and been knocked out, or even worse, drowned. When he was able to pull himself from the raging waters, he and his friends were separated. As he stood their in his underwear, with no shoes, he thought to himself how am I going to get home like this? He decided to try and cross the stream again where it was not so rough and he walk home through the woods. I know, you’re probably screaming, “No! What is he thinking!” I know I was when his friends came running to the house asking if he made it home yet and proceeded to tell us the story.

Well, if you are a parent, you know that sinking feeling very well. It was the worst feeling in the world when I saw that raging stream first hand and pictured my son in those waters and started calling his name to hear no reply. Luckily, as we head home our other son was coming to tell us his brother made it home safely!

I know now though that God has big plans for this young man and his love of God has grown greatly. I wonder though if he looks back on this memory and realizes just how loved and protected he was by God on the day he learned to go with the flow!

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” ~ John 7:38

Are Your Kids Protected?

This little guy could have been my little guys and I so wish I had Young Living back then! If I had, I would make sure they had in their back packs access to the following!

Thieves Wipes (in their lunch box and a few in their back pack) to remove the germs when they can’t always get to a sink.

A small roller bottle of Kidscents TummyGize in case their tummy hurts.

A packet of NingXia red in their lunchbox to help keep them focused and supporting their immune system.

A small roller bottle of Valor (for courage and confidence) and Peace and Calming to roll on whenever they felt they needed to stand up to a bully or were worried about anything! They can’t take their blankee or favorite lovey with them to school, so a little bit of Valor and Peace and Calming can give them courage! I would also tell them, Mommy smells like Peace and Calming, so when you roll this on, know that I am here and love you very much!

Before they even leave the house, I would spray their heads with the DIY Healthy Hair recipe to protect them from the creepy crawlers that hide out when large groups of children are together. I would roll them down with Valor (for courage and confidence); Geneyus (for focus and clarity); and Thieves (supporting their immune system) every morning to give them a head start to a great day!

Just be sure to check with the school to make sure your children are allowed to have roller bottles in their back packs. All schools and rules are different. Worse case, get them some leather jewelry or a leather keychain they could wear or keep in their pocket infused with these amazing oils! All they have to do is breathe in some courage as they can become the Super Heroes we know they can be!
