Last night, @peidiet was very congested and couldn’t sleep because he couldn’t breathe. I got out of bed, heated up a mug of water to steaming hot, and added 2 drops each of these 4 oils.
He cupped his hands over it and took several breaths, and within seconds he said, “oh wow.” After about a minute, I could hear his breathing changing and he said “this is helping, tremendously.” He slept like a baby. He wasn’t stuffy, he didn’t snore and he breathed. (You can’t sleep when you can’t breathe, right?) This remedy might have cost us 75 cents total. Grateful for these oils for so much in our life.
How many times did you ask your parents to do something and they responded with: “Not now...” Which usually turned to never. 🤣 (guilty of this with my own kids 🙋🏼♀️) But how often do we put things off in our *own* lives by telling ourselves we’ll do it later?
I have dubbed myself a world-class procrastinator, many times. There is just some thing about waiting until the last minute to complete a task that gives me such a rush. The older I’ve gotten, however, this has shifted. I used to have a boss who told me, “Candice, if your job is to eat a frog every day, do it first thing in the morning. If your job is to eat 2 frogs, eat the biggest one first.” I remind myself of this often.
I love this Martin Luther quote because it’s simple, yet profound.
Take the test.
Call the friend you’ve been putting off calling.
Go for the run.
Eat the new food.
Take the pay cut.
Clean out the closet.
Go back to school.
Just do it. IMHO, there’s a lot more risk from *not* stepping outside of your comfort zone. After all, getting uncomfortable leads to growth. When we stop growing, we stop living 💛
