As a busy mom, my days are full! Between taking care of my son, managing work, staying on top of house tasks, and (if I’m lucky) squeezing in a moment for myself, it feels like I’m always on the go. But I’ve found a little secret weapon that keeps me feeling grounded, energized, and ready to take on the day—essential oils.
Essential oils are such a simple way to bring in moments of self-care and support my body and mind. They’re not just about nice smells; they actually support everything from my immune system to my emotional health. Here are some ways I incorporate them into my daily routine that you can try too!
1. Peppermint Oil Wake-Up Call
If I need an extra boost in the morning (and let’s face it, I always do!), I add a few drops of peppermint oil to the shower. The steam from the hot water mixes with the peppermint, creating a refreshing, spa-like experience that wakes me up and leaves me feeling alert. It’s the quickest way to kickstart my day.
2. Citrus Oils for Energy in the Kitchen
I love popping a diffuser in the kitchen or living room with a few drops of citrus oils, like lemon or orange. These oils are known for their uplifting and energizing properties, and they help give me a natural energy boost while I’m preparing breakfast or running around the house. Plus, they make the whole space smell fresh and inviting!
3. On-the-Go Support with a Rollerball Blend
For moments when I need a quick reset on the go, I keep a rollerball of my favorite essential oil blend in my bag. Whether I’m sitting in traffic, at the grocery store, or taking my son to the park, a quick swipe on my wrists or neck gives me a boost and keeps me grounded.
4. Immune-Boosting Fall Cleaner
Young Living’s fall-scented cleaner has become a household favorite! It not only keeps my home smelling like autumn (yes, please!), but it’s also made with oils that help support our immune systems. So, while I’m tackling housework, I know I’m also helping keep us healthier.
5. Lavender for a Calm Night
After a long day, winding down can be a challenge for everyone in the family. I like to end our day by diffusing lavender in the bedroom to create a calm, peaceful atmosphere. The soothing scent helps us all relax, making bedtime routines a little smoother and helping me get the rest I need.
These small, intentional tweaks fit seamlessly into my packed schedule, offering moments of calm, energy, and wellness when I need them most. So, if you’re looking to add a little more balance to your busy day, try adding essential oils into your routine! Which one will you try first?
