Cleaning with Essential Oils

I snagged these recipe's from the doTERRA Blog Thought I would share them, I haven't tried these exact one's yet, but have used some essential oils to help with my cleaning.  Lemon is great for shining your stainless steel, just mix it with a little water in a spray bottle, and wala, you have a great little cleaner, plus it smells fantastic!!  I have also mixed oils in with my laundry detergent, some lavender for the sheets, some lemon or lime or grapefruit to my stuff to give me a little extra pep in my step as my day goes on.  So many ways to use our oils, I love it!!


All-Purpose Cleaner
2 c. vinegar
2 c. distilled water
10 drops Lemon Essential Oil
Tip: Shake well before each use.

Mirror or Window Cleaner
1 1/2 c. vinegar
1/2 c. purified or distilled water
8 drops ANY Citrus Essential Oil of choice
Shake well before use.

Mold and Mildew Cleaner
Pour 2 c. distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle. (OR combine one part 3% hydrogen peroxide with 2 parts water).
Add 2 drops Lemon Essential Oil and 2 drops Melaleuca Essential Oil
Shake well and spray on area. Leave on area for half an hour, then rinse.

Thought I would share what I found, they sound fantastic, I have all these oils so I may just make thse up and see how they work, I will report back, once I find some time to get my cleaning done!!

SUNSHINE WHERE ARE YOU?

I have noticed for myself that there is a direct corrilation between my physical energy levels and the amount of sunshine outside.  On Monday for instance it was a fantastically sunny day, and I woke up at 5:00AM, yes you read that correctly... went to work, and got off at 3:00PM.  Typically I would be exhausted at this point, but my kids and I came home and cleaned out the car, and then came in and cleaned up in the house, jumped on the trampoline, and then made dinner.  I felt great!  Today the sunshine has hidden itself behind many clouds that are pouring out just enough snow to make it icky out.  I feel lower in energy especially this morning, but I forced myself on the treadmill and went for about 4 miles.  After that I was feeling better, but still find myself less energized than when I have the sunshine.  So here are my tips for those of you who need the sun to operate...

• EXERCISE!!!  this is key, this gets the endorphins flowing so you feel better, and gives your body a boost.
• Essential oils - Peppermint, any citrus oil such as lemon, orange, grapefruite or lime, jasmine, and lavender.  Yes lavender will help you sleep, but it will also help you if you need a boost, it is like a camelion, it changes with what you need.
• Water - just mild dehydration can leave you feeling sluggish and low on energy.
• Herbal supplements - St. Johns Wart
• Affirmations - think anything positive, pay attention to your thoughts, and turn the negative one's around!!

Hope this helps you defeat the lack of sun today, and hopefully it will be back soon!!

How do I use my stones?

There are many different ways to use gemstones, among these are:

–        Bathing with the stones

–        Drinking water that the stones have soaked in

–        Wearing the stones such as jewelry (my personal favorite)

–        Placing the stones on the part of the body that is hurting

More Goals

Okay so those of you who have not set those goals yet, here is some more information on what those goals should be. 

Goals should be unique to you - make sure it is what you want for yourself and not what someone else wants for you.  If not it won't last.

Goals should be exact and time specific - so set a date that you want to accomplish a certain measurable thing.  Such as I want to loose 5 pounds in 3 weeks, or I want to run a marathon in 1 year, something you can measure.

Goals should come from within, and should be about you.  When you decide to loose weight because you compare yourself with a slender model this is not positive because it is outwardly focused.  It is like the lady that takes in a picture of a hair cut that she likes, like Meg Ryan's for instance, well even if the same hair stylist were to cut her hair it would still look nothing like Meg Ryan because the person is not Meg Ryan, they would not have the same hair texture, facial features and what not....  Make sure it is an inward goal because you want to feel good about you.

Goals should be realistic - make sure it is something that is attainable so as not to discourage yourself.  Whatever it is you are attempting to accomplish or change, it is not going to happen overnight, be realistic with yourself.

Goals should be harmonious with your beliefs and values - like I said in my post the other day.

Goals should be written and read often.  If you write them it becomes something.  This kind of concrete focus allows you to really see and visualize what you want.

Break down your goals so that you have mini goals along the way, and reward yourself for accomplishing them.

Visualize what it is you want, this is so powerful that many of the top athletes and business people do it frequently.

Say it, by verbalizing it outloud to yourself it gives you tremendous power.  It also keeps you focused, and hopefully positive.

Hope you can set and accomplish something great.

Values & Beliefs

I guess I should have written this prior to my post on goals, but it applies as well.  I have been doing some deep searching about myself lately, those of  you closest to me are probably sick of hearing about it, but it has been very theraputic to have you listen so thank you.  I think before we can really decide what our goals are in life, we have to know what we believe and value.  Some of my beliefs are

• that families are truly important
• that mothers can help to shape the beliefs and values of her children
• that we are here for a purpose
• we can do anything we set our mind to do
• our bodies can do incredible things if we fuel them and care for them correctly

Things that I value or am greatful for are:

• my family (husband, children, parents, siblings, in-laws, grandmas, etc.)
• my friends
• my home
• fitness
• education
• health
• church/spiritual moments
• but mostly the people who surround me that support me!!

So with these values if you have read some of my goals, they kind of fall into line, it is important to know what you value and believe as you set your goals so that you make sure your goals are in line with those beliefs.  If our goals and our beliefs do not match we will not be able to accomplish them easily as it is not something that we truly believe.
