Tips to Overcome The Sunday Night Blues



This is one of those things where I thought I was the only person in the world to feel this way. Well, not really the only person but I didn't realise that a huge percentage of the developed world feels the same. In fact, in the U.S. a study found that 81% of people, adults and children get the Sunday night blues. They also found that for most people it starts around 4pm.

I have a few little tips that definitely help to cheer me up and stop me moping around wasting time every Sunday night.

Through the day a good blend to diffuse is:

5 drops Bergamot

2 drops Roman Chamomile

2 drops Ylang Ylang
Bergamot gives hope and helps us see life with more optimism.
Roman Chamomile is calming and helps us feel fulfilled.
Ylang Ylang brings joy and acceptance.

Make Sunday your fun day. Do things that you and your family enjoy doing. Go outside in the fresh air and get a little bit of sun (apply your natural sunscreen first). This will help you feel more content when the sun goes down.

Set some intentions for the coming week that are positive and will help you look forward to the week instead of dreading it.

Eat some healthy, happy foods. Don Tolman, "The Wholefood Medicine Man" (I love this man and follow him on everything from Youtube to Facebook) says that if you have depression you should eat a bowl of pineapple and orange together and get into the sun for awhile every day. He says that you will be amazed at how good you feel in just three days.

When you are feeling really low put a drop of Peppermint oil on your palm, rub your hands together, then go outside and breathe the oil in from your hands. I wouldn't do this close to bedtime as you might feel too alert to sleep.

So they are my suggestions and things that I have found help me every Sunday. Give one or all of them a try and see how you go. I hope I have helped you to enjoy your Sundays.

doTERRA Purify Oil. Where do I start? This one bottle of oil can do so much. Surely I'm not the only person who has put a load of washing on and forgotten about it until hours later, or the next morning even. I would wash the clothes again but they still had a stale smell when we wore them. Now I just put 1 or 2 drops of Purify on a cloth and throw it in the wash. The clothes come out smelling fresh and nobody knows the difference. (See below for blog on essential oils and plastic as mentioned in the video) We love our cats, but I really don't like the kitten stage when they pee on things and nothing gets rid of the smell. We have a suede lounge chair that I was ready to take to the dump because I could not get rid of the smell out of it. I tried everything. I would think it was good and then as soon as we had a bit of humid weather, the smell would return. Then I made up a spray bottle of equal parts white vinegar and filtered water, added 20 drops of doTERRA

Natural Cat Scratch Deterrent

Image
Time and time again my essential oils amaze me. But using them to deter the cats from clawing our suede lounge takes the cake. W e have to chase them away from the lounge every day. We hear that dreaded clawing sound and run to chase them before they do permanent damage. I came across a recipe last week and tried it. It did make the cats stop and sniff around, but they still ended up clawing the lounge. I tried a new blend each day until I finally found this one that has stopped them clawing altogether. I put approximately 1 cup of water,  10 drops of doTERRA Eucalyptus Oil and 10 drops of doTERRA Lemon Oil in a spray bottle, shook it up and sprayed it on the corners of the lounge where the cats claw every day. The first day they came up and sniffed around, but then walked away. I haven't seen them near the lounge at all since then. This seemed too good to be true, but it's been 4 days and they still haven't been near the lounge. I'm going to spray it every

WHERE TO GET YOUR doTERRA RESOURCES

Image
So you have your oils, now you need to get some tools and resources together. In this blog, I will tell you where I purchase all of my sample bottles, reference books, sachets, stickers, which phone apps I use and other tools I have found to be useful. Obviously, you don't need everything that I talk about on this blog, but if you do want them, you will know where to get them from. The very first thing anyone who uses essential oils should purchase, in my opinion, is a reference book. If you are on my team I have more than likely sent you one in your Welcome Pack.  I recommend either The Essential Life Book or Modern Essentials. You don't need both, as they are both excellent books, but are very similar. I am a visual person and The Essential Life book is just so much prettier to me. The Modern Essentials book is more like a text book. The other book I recommend and use every single day is the Emotions & Essential Oils book. I love the emotions side of ess
