On the first Monday in September, we celebrate in the U.S. – Labor Day! “It honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made in the development, growth, endurance, strength, security, prosperity, productivity, laws, sustainability, persistence, structure, and well-being of the country.” (Wikipedia)
The holiday marks the end of summer and the beginning of school. It’s a time to get back to the seriousness of work. Having lived in Florida for a number of years, I can attest that the Labor Day weekend is at the height of hurricane season!
What if we decided to celebrate the labors we love like self-care, expanding our minds by opting for life-long education, care of the earth and our environment, educating others on the power of essential oils through sharing our own stories, caring for our neighbors, loving our families? There is so much negativity in our country right now based in fear of one another. What if we chose to be positive and think well of one another, encouraged each other to be the best we can be? What if we celebrated the accomplishments we make as well as those made by others? What if we chose to reflect on how far we have come in this country and stopped criticizing what we don’t like? What if there was an essential oil to help us stay grounded, harmonious with nature, positive and uplifted, joyful and accepting? Well, if you have been reading my blogs twice a month, you already know that YES, there are essential oils that can help us emotionally to stay in balance.
So, to help us celebrate the labors we love, consider diffusing or applying a drop or two of any of these essential oil blends:
Grounding™ for a feeling of solidarity and balance
Harmony™ to keep you in balance with all things, people, and the cycles of life
Joy™ for inspiration in life and uplift your thoughts
Acceptance™ to stimulate the mind and open you to accepting new things, people or relationships in life
Let’s not forget the power of:
Gratitude™ to foster a grateful attitude
Live your Passion™ to enhance your zest for life and to help you go forward with motivation and excitement
Sacred Mountain™ to instill strength, empowerment, grounding, and protection
Valor™ an empowering oil to increase feelings of strength, courage, and self-esteem in the face of adversity
These are just a few of my favorite essential oil blends that help me stay in a positive frame of mind, always moving forward, and reaching out to help others.
Happy Labor Day Everyone!
