First: I have the essential oil blend Peace and Calming in my purse and take it everywhere I go. I have been feeling the anxiety about this performance for about a week now. Every time I feel it coming on, I wear a little Peace and Calming and I'm good to go for a while.
Second: I have been bathing in the blend Sacred Mountain. I sense a feeling of protection and I LOVE the scent. It contains Ylang Ylang, another one of my favorites. To watch a video about Ylang Ylang, click on the word Ylang Ylang and learn about how Young Living harvests this beautiful flower!
Third: I ALWAYS take my Super B supplement. This helps with my energy level. Because of the holidays, other performances, gift wrapping, parties, fun and festivities, I have been staying up late and getting up early to achieve all of my "To Do's" for the month. The Super B supplement is a life saver for me!
Fourth: I have doubled up on my vitamin C intake, AND I increase my dosage of Mineral Essence. I also supplement with the Inner Defense as a support to my immune system.
Fifth: I do everything I can to stay focused and in the moment. It's not easy to do this when my mind is racing, remembering all the "things" that need to get done. How do I do the "present moment" thing? While driving, a time when my mind really wanders, I pay close attention to the trees and fall leaves, the Christmas decor on the buildings, the sky and clouds, or whatever I can notice to get my mind off the upcoming events. I also enjoy making a mental list of all the things I am grateful for.
When trying to go to sleep, often difficult during busy times, before bed I take some MegaCal and warm milk. Once in bed I focus on the feel of the blankets, my pillow under my head, the quiet sounds in the house, and my breathing. I also wear an essential oil and pay attention to the scent and how it makes me feel. By my bedside I have a pretty basket with four our five of my favorite oils. There are Frankincense, EndoFlex, Geranium, Progessence Plus (I love this one so much I wish I could eat it!), Thieves, and sometimes Ylang Ylang. Ahhhh, I sigh a deep relief, give thanks for my day and eventually fall softly and peacefully asleep.

ReplyDeleteThank you Corinne! I love to sing, I love children, so there you go! A great way to generate joy :D
ReplyDeleteI actually really love the look of that flower! You take some awesome supplements. I need to remember to keep up with all my vitamins! I am also a fan of Inner Defense capsules. I don't take them often because they are kind of pricey, but any time I feel any kind of sick feelings coming on I start taking them every day! Hope your performance went well! Love you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Kate for your comments. Did you watch the Ylang Ylang video? It's not long yet very interesting. Love you too!
