Jenna shares her tips for keeping the holidays joyful and not stressful. A few simple daily routines can help you too. What do you do to deal with stress around the holidays? How do you stay motivated during the holidays to get everything done? I begin my day with meditation and Rose oil. I use the morning to get centered and ready for the day ahead. I think it is really important during the holidays to stay present. It can start to feel like your life is parties, gifts, shopping, and chaos, and it is easy to get caught up and not feel present anymore. Enjoy what you are doing, but also take time for yourself. That is one of the big reasons I like to give neighbor gifts that in- clude oils they can start using right away. I like to include bath salts, bath bombs, and things like that so they can enjoy their self-care. I make extensive lists for all of my kids and everything I have to get done so I know I have gotten everything done.I think it is difficult to hold all of that in the mind. The thing that always helps to get me going and keeps me pushing through is dōTERRA Balance®. It helps me plant my feet on the ground and stand firm. When things get chaotic, I feel like I’m floating and can’t find my footing. I want to come down and have my feet on the Earth. dōTERRA Balance has great oils from the trees and their roots. Conifers are some of my favorite oils. You think about Siberian Fir and that the trees grow in the artic and freezing temperatures and yet they are strong. I like to think about myself like that. They help me feel like I am in control, even when my life feels overwhelming. Throughout the day, I like to roll Rose Oil over my heart to keep the feelings of centeredness from my morning medita- tion. I use dōTERRA Balance® all day long. I like to put it on my hands so that I can smell it throughout the day. I also put it over the vents of my car; the scent takes over the car im- mediately and helps everyone in the car feel calm right away. I have been loving Tangerine to help uplift my mood and brighten my day a little bit. You have four little kids, what is your favorite new Kids Collection blend? I love them all! They are so unique and simple. I love the kid’s line because I feel like it is a great solution for anyone over- whelmed by using their oils on children. My son has been taking Thinker® to school and he says he puts it on every time he has a test. Stronger® is my hands-down favorite. I use it on my kids every day; it has just made my life easier. I have been using oils for so long that I enjoy experimenting with my oils. I know I love a mixture of Arborvitae, Lemon, and Frankincense for promoting health. I like the flexibility of using my oils how I want to. But, I know there are a lot of people who just want to know what to use oils for and when. “We’re not focusing, we are using Thinker. We aren’t sleeping, time for Calmer®.” I think oils can be overwhelming in the be- ginning if you do not know where to start. The Kid’s Collection is a great place to start, and get familiar with oils.
