Self-Care

Touchy Topic

Liz James · November 13, 2020 ·

One of the blessings of hanging out with mentors and Young Living community friends, is getting honest “been there”….done THAT anecdotal information. Those convos and personal stories have empowered me in ways that have rocked my health world. Don’t ever turn down a chance to sit in on a “story swapping” session… sit down and soak up knowledge like a sponge….. you may come away with a life changing nugget for you or someone you love. #protip


Have you ever wondered……….
*Can you use essential oils where the sun doesn’t shine? Absolutely! (caveat: I would only recommend using Young Living because of their purity… otherwise I change my answer to “all bets are off!”)
*Do you need to dilute? Absolutely!
*Do you need to do your research on which oils would benefit (and which oils should be avoided!) the nether regions? Absolutely 100% YES!
This is a DIY’er recipe to hang on to….. you just never know when you might need to make some!…. and It sounds like it might be a good idea to keep some organic cocoa butter on hand…. you just never know when you might need it!

Btw, it takes a lot of chutzpah to own a website name like that😂💖!
PS: men…. if you haven’t run for the hills and made it to the bottom of this post,  you have nether regions too 😉 . #soakandlearn

Empowering Others

Liz James · November 6, 2020 ·

 I met and spent a great deal of time with Jackie Skinner YL last fall at Platinum Retreat in Ecuador. Jackie is incredibly passionate and has worked so terribly hard this year as the director of the Young Living Foundation. She is a gem and a good friend to Charlie and I.


Good things are being done behind the scenes as we make our monthly orders. Please ALWAYS round up on your orders (it will never cost you more than 99 cents max!). Young Living is focused on empowerment… both for its members and for those who need a hand up. 💖💖


How are we empowered by YL?  Let’s talk about that! 
💪When was the last time you were able to “fix something” thanks to your oils or supplements, thereby avoiding a trip to the pharmacy or doctor?
💪Have you received a paycheck (big 💰💰 or small💰!) from Young Living? That’s empowering in itself….. you are funding your personal “wellcare” routine, been able to add a few hundred dollars a month to the family budget……. or maybe even been able to completely change the trajectory of your future!
Happy Friday friends…. pay it forward. We are blessed indeed!

Frugal Emergency Care

Liz James · October 27, 2020 ·

Let me preface this post by saying it’s never a good idea to get your hand in the way of a sharp object! That said, life happens.


One of the reasons I embraced YL 7 years ago was this: preparedness. We live on a farm,  and minor accidents are not an  uncommon thing. I’ve gotten really good at triaging what “we can fix ourselves” and what needs bigger attention by professionals who stitch for a living. 


I’ve heard it said that “your oils are expensive “. True. They can be pricey,  but quality products generally are. Let’s compare pricing here: 
(We have a high deductible to meet, so all expenses would have been out of pocket)
Plan A: 
💰A trip to the ER for a stitch up while company was in from out of town (time)
💰A covid test (personally not a fan of this)
💰Time waiting in the emergency room with a bunch of other people who might actually be sick.
💰💰stitches (according to this article, on insurance,  it’s 500$ per stitch  https://www.advisory.com/…/why-does-a-hospital-stitch… )
💰Avoiding a conversation as to what recommended toxins I should be adding to my body for the next 10 days. (priceless)
💰💰💰💰💰💰= roughly 1000$ or more (based on the link above, with insurance it probably would have been about 5 stitches)


OR
Plan B:
👀 Taking a look at my wound and recognizing that it was stitch worthy but relatively superficial.
* Applying the practical knowledge gleaned from reading and listening to others in our Young Living community. #PricelessEducation
*Having the tools on hand and having confidence in them. (Add Thieves foaming hand soap and Inner Defense to the list here)
💰 I estimate that I spent about 100$ on Plan B. 🙌🙏💗 #winnerwinner
Economics. Are our oils worth it? You betcha! 
Have a blessed Tuesday!

Fighting the Fear Frequency

Liz James · October 20, 2020 ·

This past weekend, I co-hosted our 3rd annual Guns ‘n Poses (yoga, health and wellness topics, and firearms instruction) event for our YL family. #memberperks Personal self care empowerment comes in many forms and it is something I deeply truly love about the Young Living lifestyle…..thru the application of what we learn from one another, we become more adept at being our own CEO of the temple that is our body.


My teaching topic for the event was frequency and how it relates to fear and how to raise your own frequency should you find it faltering. Fear is one of the lowest frequency emotions.  


Here are a few tidbits to chew on:
⚡️ Frequency is a term that measures electricity. It’s not hoo hoo stuff… it’s physics and biology. If you’ve ever had an EEG or EKG the frequency of your heart or brain has been measured.
⚡️ Certain emotions drive the body’s frequency up or down. High frequency emotions are Joy, Freedom, Love, Empowerment, Happiness, Enthusiasm (and many more). 😃
Low frequency emotions include worry, frustration, doubt, anger, guilt, and others……. including fear. 😱Fear (chronic or acute) is one of the most damaging of all emotions….. especially the chronic variety. 
⚡️ Chronic fear is incredibly stressful to the body, and has been found to be equivalent to a pack of cigarettes a day habit…. not a place any of us wants our body to be in. Chronic fear is also quite hard on the immune system. 
The Bible says…. over 365 times…. “fear not.” We are to have a spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7) This is not simply a suggestion, it’s also a health tip. 😉 We need to strive to live within  the higher frequency emotions and feelings so that we may retain a sound and strong mind and body. 
Lord knows this is something we need to be sharing far and wide right now! #2020hasbeenahotmess


Quick tips on raising your body’s frequency:
⚡️ Work on getting your body more alkaline. (Fear and an acidic body tend to go hand in hand). Low voltage/frequency = low pH
Have you tried Alkalime (YL item #3199) ? It works to settle the belly, but it also gently raises the body’s pH. 
⚡️ Positive thoughts drive positive emotions. Be kind, especially to yourself. We often tend to be our own worst critic. Words are powerful. Speak to yourself in love. Look into podcasts by Dr. Caroline Leaf if this is a struggle.
⚡️ Exercise! Grab your bottle of Motivation essential oil and use it if exercise is hard for you. The more you do it, the easier it will become. (promise!!)
 ⚡️  Ditch processed foods and focus on eating foods that have a positive electrical charge… Living whole foods!
⚡️  Make sure you are continuing to remove toxins from your lifestyle. Toxins are frequency zappers! We all have access to the cleanest products on the planet in the way of Thieves Household cleaner, our YL body and skin care products…. not to mention our Savvy Minerals (standard cosmetics are LOADED with toxins).
⚡️ Make sure you spend a little time in nature every single day, and disconnect when you are doing so (disconnect regularly even if you cannot get outside) ! (Leave your phone or laptop indoors while you enjoy the gifts God gave us). Electrically speaking, this is called “grounding”. 
⚡️ High frequency oils are also very very helpful. Idaho Blue Spruce, Sacred Mountain, Rose, Joy, Forgiveness, Frankincense, Gentle Baby and Helichrysum are all in the higher frequency list. Apply topically or diffuse.  Diffusing any of these may be helpful in group situations too. (I call this my stealth happiness tool in group settings)


We are blessed to have all these tools available, making ourselves and our sphere of influence a less stressful, fear reduced environment. 
What’s your “go to” in times of high stress or fear? I utilize all of the above depending on the situation, but my “go to” oils are Stress Away, Sacred Mountain, and Frankincense.

Tools for Bad Health

Liz James · October 16, 2020 ·

There will never be a single tool to maintain and improve health, just like you wouldn’t use a screwdriver when you really need a hammer. I stretch regularly, use my Young Living essential oils, Dolphin MPS myself when I can…. but occasionally, I can still feel when I’m out of alignment…. and when that happens, it’s not just a structural snafu…. nerves can be pinched, and organs can start malfunctioning. Not coincidentally, the longer I felt my neck out of whack, congestion had started developing in my head and throat.😕
Yesterday, I made time to get adjusted by my chiropractor (thank you Newmyer Chiro in McKinney!) and could literally feel the congestion fade away once my neck and shoulders were back where they were supposed to be.
I tend to carry stress (and 50lb bags of animal feed!) on my shoulders, so it’s no surprise.
I feel much more balanced and healthier this morning! 
What’s an “out of the box” tool you use with great results?
