Little pick-me-up

From the book of Joe Vitale Attract Money Now
"The Optimist Creed
Originally Published in 192 in a book titled Your Forces adn How to Use Them, This famous creed by Christian D. Larson is worth reading every morning and evening.

Promise Yourself...
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feelt hat there is something worthwhile in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. 
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others and you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.
To give so much time improving yourself that you have not time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for frear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you."


I found this to be so great and profound that I had to share.  Just think of the great world we would live in if each and every one of us lived our lives this way.  Hope life is great for all of you today!

""The secret to success is to do the common things uncommonly well."

- John D Rockefeller Jr.

Just do it!!

I know some of you have had that overwhelmed feeling about something be it weight-loss, housework, school, achieving a goal, or just life in general.  Well I was feeling super overwhelmed with housework about 9 months ago and posted this on facebook oneday, and to my rescue came a great friend recommending a website called flylady. http://www.flylady.net  I liked the name, I was desperate to try something that helped.  So I signed up and and been attempting to follow her plan for cleaning and organizing my home.  Well her whole point is that you have a daily routine that you get through, and in the routine you take 15 minutes to declutter (which no one likes to do).  Well from there she send out little 15 minute assignments here and there.  The more I have thought about this 15 minutes is really a decent amount of time if we really get in there and get it done.  I can do anything for 15 minutes right. 

Well the more I have followed this the more I have realized that I can implement this 15 minutes into anything that I am not necissarily loving to do.  So take 15 minutes and exercise... really 15 minutes doesnt' seem like that long, but it is better than not getting in a workout, and probably more often than not you will find that you end up doing it for longer.  If you are already getting in your exercise 15 minutes a day then try something else that you might have a hard time remembering or liking.  Weeding - I can weed the garden for 15 minutes a day right, well of course that isn't a big deal.  Reading - I can read a fun book, an educational book, my scriptures whatever your goal is just pick 15 minutes a day.  Meditation, using your oils, washing your face, reading to your kids, whatever it is that you may be struggling with.

The whole idea is that if you overwhelm yourself with a huge to-do list you probably will only do it for a day, and not keep up with it since you spend  your entire day dedicated to it.  So take 15 minutes, start small.  There is a quote that I remember hearing and I can't remember it word for word nor do I know who said it but it basically says through small things great things are accomplished.   Remember that, just 15 minutes, next time there is something you don't want to do that you really should just do it for 15 minutes.  Set your timer it makes it even more fun, kind of a race.

Have a great day!!!

Law of Attraction

Okay so those of you who know me know that I am very into the law of attraction, and the whole idea that we need to be positive so that we can have the positive.  I think life is all about how you look at things, and if you have a positive outlook everything is easier.  I was always told as a child that I can do anything I put my mind to, well I do.  And I believe that each one of us has that capability if we just know how to use it.  Being positive is a great start, being grateful is another step, having goals is a great stepping stone, affirmations are another, and  visualizing is yet another stepping stone.  Really I find that being positive is just a good habit, each time a negative thought comes to me I kick it out as I am in charge of my thoughts, they are not in charge of me.  Then each day in my journal, or my prayers I remember to find at least 5 new things that I am grateful for each day.  Affirmations are everywhere, we just need to utilize them.  Louise Hay has a lot of great affirmations and books on affirmations, but they are all over on the web too.  Just google positive affirmations and you will find plenty.  Visualizing is sometimes hard for me in my head, this is where vision boards come in handy.  This is also part of the reason I am sharing this post.  The other day in my in-box I stumbled upon this fantastic site.  They just launched a new product Mind movies 2.0.  It is an amazing company, and they have a great idea.  Here is what they shared with me for just checking out their site.  The website is http://www.mindmovies.com/mm20videoseries/joevitaledemo.php?10992  I  watched their short video, and then they gave me 6 videos for free.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.  Here is one on health, I  thought I would share.

Fun Fact

Did you know that taking 200-600mg daily of ashwaganda revs up production of they thyroid hormones. This has helped ease symptoms of thyroid problems for 90% of women according to recent studies. For help finding this check your local health food store, or try www.naturessunshine.com If you are not a memeber put my name down (sheena olsen) as your sponsor and if you spend $40/year you can get memeber pricing. They have all their products tested with an outside company so you know you are getting pure herbs.

Shopping on the blog

Okay so I am slowly getting my shopping post up when I was informed that I cannot sell my oils directly from my blog, so I will post the info of each product, and then a link to the website, but I will for sure be posting my other products that I come up with, and you will be just fine to purchase those here on the blog.  Also for those of you who have tried any of the fabulous products, I will be doing a monthly give away of $50 in products, and those who write a review or testimonial of any of the products as I post about them will be entered into the drawing.  Good luck!

Fun Fact

This one is great.... I hope that my husband reads this today as he gets after me for doing this. Be more productive by logging onto facebook. How you ask as this is a time suck for a lot of people. The key is to only get on for 15 minutes. A recent study done at Melbourne University in Australia proves that pausing 6 times per day to surf the web for 15 minutes prompts you to be 10% more productive. (the hard part is to stay on for only 15 minutes and then get off) This break gives your mind a minute to reset and provides greater concentration when you return to your tasks. Facebook here I come!!!

Testimonials for Lifelong Wellness Supplements

I have noticed a significant increase in my mental focus and
energy since starting dōTERRA’s Lifelong Wellness supplement
program. I sleep better and the pain I used to have in my joints
is gone. Unlike other supplements I have used that have upset
my stomach and left me wondering if they are doing anything
for me, I used doTERRA’s supplements from day one with no
stomach upset and noticeable results. dōTERRA supports my
goal of getting better as I age, not the other way around.
Peggy Smith

I have been an avid runner for more than 40 years,
but four years ago I had severe pain in my hip that
caused me to stop running. Within six weeks after
being introduced to dōTERRA’s Lifelong Wellness
program, the pain in my hip was completely gone. I
can now run again pain free.
Wayne Shute

For years I have suffered from pain
and a lack of energy. I would consume
two or three energy drinks throughout
the day to keep me going. Since I have
been using d–oTERRA’s supplements,
my energy is back, I feel better and
I have less pain.
Tav Truman

As a fitness dance instructor I ached in my
knees after every class and wore elastic
support braces to help me cope with the pain.
After using dōTERRA’s Lifelong Wellness
supplements for about six weeks I started
noticing a difference with the pain, and I am
now able to teach without the braces. If I even
miss one or two days of the supplements I can
tell a difference, they are wonderful!
Marti Christensen

I coupled d–oTERRA’s Lifelong Wellness supplements
with d– oTERRA’s philosophy of healthy lifestyle
choices in an effort to lose weight. After changing
my lifestyle and using the products for one month,
I’ve lost 10 lbs., and with my increased energy and
elevated mood find it easy to manage my appetite
and keep the weight off.
Peter Bagwell

I have suffered for years from a broken ankle that was full
of arthritis and threatened my career as a school teacher.
My daughter introduced me to dōTERRA’s Lifelong
Wellness supplements and they helped me stand and walk
pain free again. I am looking forward to a new school year
with new found energy—thank you dōTERRA!
Margaret Marshall

I have suffered for many years with chronic neck and
back pain, and muscle spasms. My only way of coping
with the pain was the daily use of muscle relaxers and
anti-inflammatory pain medication. To get any rest at
night, I was forced to sleep on an ice pack. When I
began taking dōTERRA’s Lifelong Wellness
supplement pack, my muscle spasms disappeared
almost instantly. I sleep much better now and I rarely
wake up in the morning feeling stiff and sore as before.
I finally have the physical ability and energy to play
with my three young sons more often.

Daily Vitamin & supplement

Do you take a daily vitamin?  I do, and have found that my body functions better, I have more energy and just over all feel better when I do this.  I love my current supplement and I bet you can probably already guess who makes it....

Yep that is correct doTERRA!!!  They have a 3 product supplement that I love and want to share with you.  The first is a Essential oil Omega complex.  For those of you who are not familiar with all the benefits of a daily omega supplement, let me share... It helps with your cardiovascular system, your skin, your joints, your brain, and your digestive system just to name a few.  This has helped immensely for me to clear up my brain fog.  If you don't have one in your current daily routine, I would recommend getting one.  I have tried several different brands and have found the doTERRA one to be my favorite mainly because I don't burp it up throughout the day.


EO Mega®
Essential Oil Omega Complex
dōTERRA®'s EO Mega® is a unique formula of CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade™ essential oils clove, frankincense, thyme, cumin, wild orange, peppermint, ginger, and German chamomile, and a proprietary blend of marine and land-sourced omega fatty acids from flaxseed, pomegranate seed, evening primrose, cranberry seed, and concentrated fish oils. Omega fatty acids have been shown to support healthy joint function and brain health. A daily dose of EO Mega provides 1 gram of marine oils, 1 gram of land oils, and 60 mg of the EO Mega essential oil blend. It uses only clean and pure sources of concentrated fish oils and is enteric coated to prevent the fishy return of inferior omega fatty acid products.

doTERRA Slim & Sassy

 This is one product that I use pretty much every day.  I am not overweight, but would like to loose a few extra baby pounds that I have picked up over the year (yes I blame them on my pregnancy, which probably isn't the case but I have to have a good excuse right.)  Well doTERRA like all companies has seen that the majority of Americans are overweight if not obese.  This is a huge problem as it puts undue stress on many of the organs, bones and muscles in our bodies.  Well they formulated this blend that not only helps with our weight problem, but also helps to curb our appetite or addiction for sweets, it helps to regulate our blood sugar, it helps to cleanse and detoxify our body, it helps us to have more energy (this one is huge for me as I am a mother of 2 very busy boys) and on top of these things that they created it for people are finding improvement elsewhere as well.  Some of the things people are finding as they use this regularly are ease of pains especially those with fibromialgia, and improved digestion.  I have been using this product for a while now and have found that when I use it regularly I notice it helps with my energy and weight loss.  In the webinar Dr. Hill suggests taking 3-6 drops 3 times a day, but do what feels right for you.  I have been taking it in capsules, Justin Harrison one of the leading IPC's with doTERRA takes his right on his tounge, and Dr. Hill takes his in his water.  With so many ways to use this product try them all and see what works best for you.  This is currently the #1 oil seller with doTERRA.

Fun Fact

Did you know that only 5 minutes a day outdoors will improve your self esteem and your mood.  A study done at University of Essex found that for the greatest mental health benefits, you should find some time outdoors near a body of water such as a lake or river.  Not only will this time outdoors improve your mood, mental health, and self esteem, but it will also (if you go out unprotected this means no sunscreen and the least amount of clothing that you dare to bare) help your body to produce vitamin D!!  So go get off the computer and get outdoors!!
