Stress and all that is ugly

To say that stress is bad for you is an understatement. It's hard on your heart, mind, and body. Anyone else a stress-eater!?! That's a real thing. I turn to comfort foods and care less about my health, when I'm stressed.

Stress also triggers a chemical reaction in your body that ultimately can make you gain and retain weight. (Here's the medical explanation on how stress makes you gain weight, because I am no doctor. I'm just someone who has experienced this!! http://www.webmd.com/diet/stress-weight-gain)

I hoped for assistance with my emotions when I started using Young Living essential oils, and I could cry happy tears right now at how much they've helped me!!! I use Joy along with some other oils to help support my emotions daily! (I rub them on my chest every morning. I also LOVE to put a drop in my diffuser necklace!!) Stress Away is my go to I'm-About-To-Snap blend. lol



This is the bonus oil in the starter kits so I was hooked from the beginning! I take it everywhere I go. Think about it ... you're having a bad day and you can feel your stress building... Rub some of this blend on and it's amazing! I love to massage it into my neck.



Don't obey the commercials that tell you to eat a candy bar! lol I mean I still give in to my cravings sometimes, but not every time I'm grumpy or hangry. ;)
