I love using essential oils throughout the day. In the mornings I diffuse a fresh citrusy oil to get me going, then change over to a woody cove or cinnamon to ground and help me focus before an intense zoom meeting. However, during this time of pandemic, I have been feeling a range of emotions that have not been easy to identify, until I described my actions to a friend:
*needing to eat- or just chew something
*patting my feet on the floor
*abrupt sighing loudly
*staying up later and working longer hours to feel accomplished
When I heard myself, I immediately knew, I was demonstrating anxiety. Although I don’t personally feel fear, or any hardships at this time from the quarantine or pandemic… I know the uncertainty of it all is uncomfortable for a planner like myself.
The shifting dates, and continued cancellations of plans along with not knowing when this will be over has caused a subtle stress on my nervous system.
Now recognizing this, I am looking more inward (and up to God) but also have decided to review some of my oils to help support this process. Take a look HERE at this article and video’s to help you with your own anxious feels.
