Welcome back to week two of our transformative journey with the DASH Diet! This month, we're taking intentional steps toward lowering hypertension and improving various aspects of our lives, including diet, movement, mental wellness, faith, family, finance, and friendships. With a well-rounded plan for improvement and the power of Young Living essential oils, we're setting the stage for a truly fulfilling season.
Harnessing the Power of Essential Oils
Essential oils are a fantastic way to bolster your DASH Diet journey by creating a supportive and invigorating environment. Here's how we're using Young Living essential oils to elevate our wellbeing:
- **Energize Your Mornings:** Start your day with the uplifting aroma of Peppermint oil. Add a drop or two to your diffuser to invigorate your senses and prepare yourself for a day of healthy choices and active living.
- **Mindful Eating:** Before meals, diffuse Lemon oil to create a refreshing atmosphere that encourages mindful eating and helps discourage unhealthy cravings. The fresh, citrusy scent promotes a positive mindset, supporting you in sticking to your dietary goals.
- **Restful Sleep:** At the end of a long day, unwind with Lavender essential oil to enhance your evening routine. Diffusing Lavender helps to create a calming environment that encourages a restful night's sleep, crucial for maintaining energy and focus on your diet and lifestyle changes.
Creating a Positive Environment
Our surroundings significantly impact our journey, so it's vital to cultivate a space that reflects our intentions. Use essential oils to purify and uplift your environment. Try these simple steps:
- **Purify and Refresh:** Create a natural room spray with a mix of water, a splash of witch hazel, and a few drops of Young Living Thieves® Vitality™. This blend not only cleanses the air but also supports overall wellness.
- **Focus and Clarity:** In areas where you work or study, diffuse Rosemary essential oil. Known for promoting focus and mental clarity, Rosemary can assist you in staying productive and on task.
Building Our Tribe
No journey is complete without the support of a community. We're building a tribe that cheers each other on, shares insights, and celebrates successes. Here's how you can enhance your journey with the support of others:
- **Accountability Partners:** Find a friend or family member who shares your goals. Regularly check in with each other to share progress and discuss challenge.
- **Social Media Support:** Join online communities focused on the DASH Diet and holistic wellness. Share your experiences and learn from others who are on similar paths.
- **Essential Oil Gatherings:** Host or join a Young Living gathering and explore the benefits of essential oils together. It's a wonderful way to bond while discovering new ways to enhance your wellbeing.
Journaling for Growth
Tracking your journey is crucial in understanding your progress and identifying areas for improvement. Keep a journal to document:
- Daily food intake and exercise.
- Emotional reflections and mental shifts.
- Essential oil usage and its effects.
- Tips and encouragement from your tribe.
By intentionally focusing on these key areas, we're not just adopting a diet; we're embracing a lifestyle change that encompasses overall wellness. With each step, remember to nurture yourself, encourage others, and stay committed to your personal growth.
Here's to a new season of health, happiness, and holistic living. Let's support each other every step of the way! How are you planning to incorporate essential oils into your wellness journey? Share your thoughts and let's inspire each other!
Spring break typically invites a beachside escape, but this year marked a pivot towards health for me. Trading sand for doctor's visits led to a hypertension diagnosis, directing me towards the DASH diet — a prescription for healthier living. My initial skepticism transformed into excitement as I reimagined the diet, with the goal of making meals Delicious, Irresistible, Rich, and Tasty instead of Dull and Tasteless.
In embracing these changes, I've found support through Young Living's Joy essential oil, which has given me uplifted spirits and a positive outlook. This blend has been instrumental in keeping my motivation alive while embarking on a 90-day journey towards improved health. I am excited about exploring new recipes that will hopefully contribute to better health markers by my next doctor's visit.
I invite you to join me as I explore this path and share the flavorful dishes I'll be creating along the way. Let's embark on our wellness journeys together, sharing tips and encouragement, while also discovering how Young Living's essential oils can enhance our health adventures. Together, we can redefine wellness to be both pleasurable and nourishing!

Imagine ending your day enveloped in tranquility, with the gentle scent of nature guiding you into a restful slumber. Creating a calming evening routine with essential oils can be the key to better sleep and ultimate relaxation. Here's your step-by-step guide to winding down with these aromatic wonders.
Step 1: Set the Atmosphere
Begin by diffusing oils that promote relaxation in your bedroom approximately 30 minutes before you retire. Start with an Essential Oil like Lavender or Peace and Calming for its calming effects. Add a few drops of Cedarwood to bring depth and encourage deep sleep. This blend will transform your space into a peaceful haven that signals your body it's time to unwind.
Step 2: Prepare a Soothing Bath
A warm bath is your sanctuary before bed. Add two drops of Chamomile Essential Oil along with a scoop of Epsom salts. Mix the Chamomile EO with a little baking soda, then add the Epsom salts, remember oil and water don’t mix. Chamomile is renowned for its soothing properties, melting away stress and tension from a long day. Sink into the bath and let your worries dissolve.
Step 3: Massage with Intention
After bathing, massage your feet and temples with a relaxing oil blend. Mix a few drops of Lavender and Chamomile with a carrier oil like V6. This simple yet intentional act can deepen relaxation and ease you into a state ready for rest. Your skin will thank you.
Step 4: Breathing Ritual
Take five deep breaths before closing your eyes. Consider keeping a bottle of Peace & Calming at your bedside, inhaling deeply to reinforce calmness as you drift to sleep. This practice not only relaxes your body but also prepares your mind for peaceful dreams.
Customize your order to include: Cedarwood, Chamomile, Lavendar and Peace & Calming.

Start your day with Frankincense to enhance meditation and set a balanced tone for the day.
