As we close out May and prepare to welcome the sixth month of the year, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Half the year is nearly behind us — and whether you’re feeling accomplished, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, this is your invitation to check in and recommit.
🌿 Reflect on the Journey So Far
Take a quiet moment and ask yourself:
- What goals did I set at the beginning of the year?
- What progress have I made?
- Where have I been consistent?
- Where have I fallen short — and why?
This isn’t about self-judgment. It’s about honest reflection. Maybe your energy has shifted. Maybe life threw you a few unexpected curveballs. Maybe you’ve been in survival mode instead of strategy mode. That’s okay.
The question now is: what will it take to get back on track?
✨ Set Your Sights on the Six-Month Reward
We all respond to rewards. It’s part of how we’re wired. So here’s a simple mindset shift:
What if June became your “finish line” for a mini victory?
Pick one or two goals that you can move forward in the next 30 days. Something measurable. Something meaningful. And decide now what you’ll gift yourself when you hit that milestone. A weekend getaway? A spa day? That new book or outfit you’ve had your eye on?
Rewards anchor your “why.” They remind you to celebrate effort, not just outcomes.
🌱 Recommit to Consistency
Big results are built on small, consistent actions. Even five minutes a day can change your momentum.
- Daily rituals: Are you carving out time for what matters?
- Boundaries: Are you protecting your energy?
- Accountability: Are you letting others cheer you on or help carry the load?
If you’re struggling, ask for support. A friend, a coach, a community — or even a calendar reminder — might be the key to unlocking your consistency.
💧 Essential Oils for Grounding, Clarity & Harmony
Let’s be real: clarity doesn’t come from chaos. When our minds and emotions are scattered, it’s hard to set goals, let alone achieve them. That’s where essential oils become powerful allies.
Here are a few ways to incorporate them into your mid-year check-in:
- Grounding:
Frankincense or Grounding™ Blend – Use during journaling or meditation to settle your thoughts and anchor your intentions. - Clarity:
Peppermint + Lemon – Diffuse while planning or reflecting to support mental alertness and fresh focus. - Harmony:
Harmony™ or Peace & Calming® – Use when you feel off-balance or disconnected from your goals. Apply to your heart or wrists as a reminder to stay centered. - Courage:
Valor® – Apply to the bottoms of your feet or spine before stepping into difficult conversations or recommitting to challenging goals.
📝 Final Thought: What Will It Take?
That’s the question to carry into June:
What will it take to finish the first half of the year with intention, integrity, and a little celebration?
Maybe it’s a mindset shift. Maybe it’s a simplified plan. Maybe it’s saying no to distractions or yes to a little more support.
You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to do it with purpose.
Let’s finish strong, together. 💜
Need a little bit more support, I can help coach you through our tried and true method.
Let me be real with you—this blog was originally supposed to highlight three pain points folks are carrying right now. But in true midlife, multitasking, mess-up magic fashion, I typed “3PM” instead of three pain points, and from there I decided to write about the mid-day feels.
Because 3PM is exactly when the feelings hit.
That mid-afternoon moment when you’re:
- Staring into space with a half-drunk iced coffee
- Wondering where the time (and your motivation) went
- Feeling everything all at once… and nothing at all
So, here we are—with a blog born from a typo and backed by truth.
Let’s talk about what’s really weighing people down—and how to bring in just a little bit of light and calm, one oil at a time.
💔 Pain Point #1: The Anxiety of Uncertainty
It’s not just your imagination—life feels unstable.
Between rising costs, unexpected bills, and fear around job security or retirement, a lot of us are living in fight-or-flight mode.
Supportive Oil: Stress Away
🌿 Apply to your wrists or neck when your mind starts spinning.
🌿 Diffuse it around 3PM when your brain needs a breather but you can’t clock out.
Try this mantra:
“I can’t control everything, but I can control my peace.”
🖤 Pain Point #2: Grief in Many Forms
There’s the obvious kind—loss of loved ones. But there’s also grief over routines, safety, plans, and expectations. This kind of loss is quiet, but no less real.
Supportive Oil: Frankincense
🌿 Roll over your heart or the back of your neck for grounding.
🌿 Use during journaling or prayer time to create emotional space.
Try this practice:
Put one hand on your heart, the other on your belly. Inhale Frankincense and let the exhale soften your grief—even if just a little.
🌪️ Pain Point #3: Political Division & Social Disconnection
People are scared to speak, scared to connect, and tired of choosing sides. The tension is real—and so is the loneliness.
Supportive Oil: Harmony
🌿 Diffuse during family dinners or group calls to set a calm emotional tone.
🌿 Apply to your temples before conversations that feel emotionally charged.
Bonus Blend: Combine Harmony + Lavender for that “keep me calm even when the world isn’t” synergy.
💡 Real Talk Challenge:
If 3PM is your breaking point, let’s turn it into your breakthrough.
🧴 Choose one oil.
🧘🏾♀️ Take one minute.
💬 Share one thought or “aha” moment in our group (or keep it just for you).
Peace doesn’t have to be performative. Sometimes it’s just a breath, a drop, and a moment of not spiraling.
Ready to Feel Better?
I’ve created a few custom kits to match these emotions with oils that do real work.
👜 Want the “Soothe the Slump” trio?
📦 Need a grief support starter set for a friend?
🧘🏽♀️ Curious about creating a personalized 3PM ritual?
Drop a 🫶🏽 or message me and let’s talk, schedule some time today!!!
Because healing isn’t linear—but it is possible. One oil. One breath. One connection at a time.
Summer brings longer days, warmer nights, and a whole new rhythm. Whether you’re soaking up the sun, heading out for weekend getaways, or just refreshing your daily routine, now is the time to align your wellness with the season. At CJ’s Oil in the City, we’re here to help you embrace summer with pure, plant-powered products from Young Living that support your body, mood, and energy—naturally.
1. Stay Cool & Hydrated—From the Inside Out
Sunshine is amazing, but hydration is essential. Level up your water with Young Living Vitality Drops, infused with electrolytes and essential oils like lavender-lemon or grapefruit-bergamot. Toss a few NingXia Red packets in your bag for a daily dose of antioxidant-rich energy—perfect for busy, on-the-go summer days.
CJ’s Tip: Keep a glass water bottle infused with lemon or peppermint essential oil near you all day to stay refreshed and naturally energized.
2. Your Summer Skin, Protected and Glowing
Your skin craves balance after sun exposure. Try Lavender Mint Daily Shampoo or the Mirah Luminous Cleansing Oil to gently cleanse without stripping moisture. For sun-kissed skin, Carrot Seed Oil and Lavender Essential Oil can be blended into your post-sun lotion for soothing support.
Don’t forget your Mineral Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50—reef-safe and toxin-free, so you can protect your skin without compromise.
3. Lighten Up with Seasonal Wellness Support
Summer can be fun—but also busy! Support your body with plant-based supplements like Super B (great for mood and energy), Life 9 Probiotic, and Digest & Cleanse to keep your gut happy after those BBQs and picnic snacks.
Need an energy boost without the crash? Try a spritz of Peppermint essential oil on the back of your neck or diffuse Citrus Fresh to uplift any space.
4. Summer Vibes Start with Scents
Set the mood in your home or patio with essential oil blends that match your summer vibe:
•Citrus Fresh + Spearmint = Instant beachy energy
•Lime + Stress Away = Tropical calm in a diffuser
•Lemon + Lavender = Clean, bright, and fresh
CJ’s Tip: Create a DIY cooling spray with distilled water, peppermint, and lavender essential oils—perfect for misting on hot afternoons.
5. Travel-Ready Wellness
Jetting off or road-tripping? Don’t forget to pack your Thieves Hand Sanitizer, Deep Relief Roll-On for tired muscles, and a few roller blends like Tranquil or Peace & Calming to ease travel stress.
Pro tip: CJ’s can help you make custom travel kits or roller bottles—just ask!
