Emotions & Physical Health...you are enough

Emotions.  Motion....you feel and it goes it motion.  Do you let it flow through you or find it getting stuck on your like tree sap?  We are more than our feelings.  Let me repeat that....we are more than our feelings.  

As humans on this planet, we are complex.  Our emotions are just one aspect of who we are, what our make up is and how we will thrive.  So many fall into the trap that their emotions call the shots when it is directly the opposite.  How you respond to all these events, items that trigger you, people that push your buttons is the real key.  

Am I perfect at this process.  NO WAY!  But I am committed to the process of improvement.  I oil up, I learn a bit each week and practice what I teach.  Do I get it right all the time.  NO.  I am human.  So are you, so don't expect to read a blog, read a book and viola' perfection.  It is a process of learning and growing.  

Give grace to you and others.  Apply a little Helichrysum to your forehead, maybe a little Douglas Fir to your heart, or a little Cypress where ever you feel stuck....just take a few deep breaths and you will know.

When you stop, listen and really calm the mind it is amazing how much you will start to notice within your own self.  It isn't everyone else.  Be the best you and the world will adapt.

Influence. Success. Do the small steps really count?

Influence.  As I have traveled across the country, teaching classes to introduce essential oils or on how to launch your doTERRA business, that question of influence always creeps into my mind.  You see, I have been on lots of airplanes.  My influences have been through the books I have read, the coaching programs I can do on the road, the fabulous movies I watch on all my Delta flights. 

When you look at yourself and your impact, often the actions seem so small at the time.  At least for me it seems that way.  Maybe you can see your global impact with each action.  As I watch movies about Walt Disney to Ruth Bader Ginsberg, one thing always sticks with me  - they dove into something they were truly passionate about, rarely took no for an answer and only when a few other people would stop them to really look at their impact would they see it.

Each and every influential person went through their ups and downs.  It is part of the growth process.  Walt started out with almost nothing, grew a fortune, lost almost all of it and started the process over a whole lot smarter.  Justice Ginsberg, like so many women in a man’s world, fought an uphill sexism battle to rise to the ranks of the Supreme Court.  Luckily, both of these rock stars were surrounded with amazing people who supported them, balanced their strengths and allowed them to never do life alone.

As you grow your doTERRA business or just go through life, there are so many ways to use your strengths, meet people, teach your friends and their friends to grow but one thing remains absolutely true.  You have to love what you are doing to really convey your message.  That energy will convey your message far more than the words you speak.  Don’t get me wrong, you need a clear and concise message too.  Your heart is how you have the influence.  Now, that might sound like some mystical, magical thing but have you ever heard of a performer being “flat” on a performance and when they are interviewed later (and honest) they will say “I just didn’t feel it tonight.”  They were lacking heart and passion. 

Your passion is jet fuel to your influence.  If your energy is lacking….it is like having an empty tank.  So many of these things build on each other to give you influence. 

So you want more influence and energy….don’t we all. 

Here are some of the things that work for me (and keep in mind, I have spent 3 months with a tough travel schedule and lots of emotional ups & downs):

• Watch a movie that allows for an emotional release...either laughing or crying, whatever you need
• Exercise, even it is 10 minutes of walking, stationary bike or a good stretch in the morning
• Get a journal and write down all the junky thoughts you think are holding you back, THEN write why they have served you so far
• Sing really loud in your car with or without anyone else
• Practice Ho'oponopono  Click this link here to learn more
