Have you ever woken up feeling unstoppable and ready to seize the day? Or maybe you know someone who has this energy and confidence at the crack of dawn. Whether you’re a morning person or not, there’s no denying that the first moments of your day usually set the tone for the rest of the day. Your oils can be used to help you tap directly into the limbic system to stimulate memories and emotions.
There are so many definitions for that single word. This is possibly because there is no scientific consensus on a single definition. Emotion represents a mental state associated with thoughts and feelings. It is a conscious experience with intense mental activity and a high degree of pleasure or displeasure. Emotion is often intertwined with mood, temperament, past experiences, personality, disposition, and motivation.
As you inhale essential oils, the tiny molecules enter the nasal cavity and pass by the olfactory bulb. Your olfactory bulb is a part of your limbic system, so your response to a smell is going to be emotional before it can be rational. Sometimes that doesn't work to our benefit...LOL
But guess what?! That means you can use your oils to recall both good and bad memories. If they are bad, you can use them to help you release those cellular memories that are stored in your body, allowing you to process and move past them. It sounds wonky, but let me assure you, it works. I have been my own guinea pig to try it out. LOL
We all regularly come in contact with reactions to smells. You walk into the house at dinner time and smell your favorite meal cooking. Your emotions are instantly triggered by the happy memories you have of that meal and you feel joy. You smell the cologne your grandfather used to wear. It instantly triggers emotions based on your relationship. If you had a good relationship, you may feel emotions like love and joy. If you had a bad relationship or he has passed away, you may feel anger or sadness.
Incorporating oils into your morning routine can amplify your intentions and enhance your feelings of confidence so you can start your day from a place of strength. Layering and blending specific oils in distinct ways can help cultivate the right mindset to manifest your goals or face what the day will bring.
That’s why Gary put together an empowering essential oil routine, Gary’s Great Day Protocol. If you’d like to learn about the Great Day Protocol in more detail, click here and join in on our 4-day Great Day Protocol challenge!
