Natural Remedies To Reduce Stress

Oleu LIfe Essential oil mist

Our fast-paced way of living does a great job of keeping our schedules busy around the clock. 24 hours are simply not enough to get through our to-do lists...often leaving time to relax and recharge out of the question. 

For those of us who struggle with anxiety and have difficulty stress-management, these simple moments can make a world of difference. One of the most natural and sustainable ways to uplift your emotional wellbeing is by using aromatherapy oils. Using essential oils for anxiety is a great way to create a peaceful space to slow down and breathe in the middle of your hectic day.

Here are some ideas of natural daily routine practices using the best essential oils for anxiety for a strong and happy mind. 

Ready to seize the day?   

Morning Routine: Wake up Sunshine!

Alarm. Five more minutes. Running late. Shower. Breakfast on the go. 

This how mornings tend to look like for many of us with fast-paced lives. But mornings can actually be something we look forward to with the help of some aromatherapy oils. In fact, essential oil mists are a lot better for the morning.

Essential oils mists give you the most refreshing, feel-good wake-up effect you need in the morning. The fine mist almost works like magic to open your eyes, and welcome energized, uplifted attitude to start the day.

For a morning mist, you may want to pick one containing mood-enhancing essential oils like peppermint, pink grapefruit, ylang-ylang, and rose. These are also considered to be successful essential oils for anxiety reduction; helping you say "no" to negative thoughts, and "yes" to opportunity and joy.

Our Energising Body Mist , for example, contains some of these wonderful zingy, yet calming oils that will transform you into a morning person in a matter of spritzes. 

Pro-tip: The way you start your day is very important for how the rest will turn out. Creating our own morning routine targeted at reducing anxiety and stress will be incredibly helpful in shaping your attitude, mood, and energy throughout the day!

Mid-Afternoon Routine: Focus

Although working hours are the ones you're supposed to be most on your toes for, what usually happens is the opposite. Whether you're overwhelmed with work, studies, or looking after the children, energy tends to run out pretty fast.

We believe the key to staying motivated lies in creating the right environment. In the wise words of Marie Kondo “visible mess helps distract us from the true source of the disorder”. 

Diffusing oils such as Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Lemongrass is a great way to reduce stress while feeling refreshed and newly awakened. These are some of the best essential oils for focus and enhancing your mood, so you'll be able to extend your potential to be productive and active for much longer than you can imagine. 

Pro-tip: When we're able to tick things off our to-do lists, we tend to stay a lot more motivated and reduce our anxiety. However, this does not mean we should be doing more than we can handle. An interesting article by Sarah Engelhart says that the answer to reducing anxiety does not lie in doing more than you already have on your plate. The key is about balancing your duties evenly throughout the day, while still trying to make time for yourself. Remember that taking time for yourself does not make you unproductive, on the contrary, it means you are being proactive towards your wellbeing!

Evening Routine: Winding Down

When we live fast-paced lives, we tend to take our work, stresses, and concerns back home with us. It's not done on purpose, it's simply part of the way that it works, isn't it? But our home is supposed to be our sanctuary - the one place in the world where we're protected from the outside. 

are an incredible way to separate from everything else and reconnect with yourself. While you're preparing dinner, let loose by playing your favorite tunes, and offer some sort of interactive activity to connect with the people you love the most; whether it is playing a board game or a movie night with friends and family. Relationships are a very important part of our wellbeing and an essential part of human experience. Keeping them nurtured by talking about life, dreams, or simply giving each other company is a great way to boost your confidence, and surround yourself with fulfilling love and support. 

Nighttime Routine: Bedtime

Sleep is one of the most important things to get done right in order to regain strengths for the coming days and daily challenges. Without an adequate sleep routine, stresses and anxieties can be heightened throughout the day.

Try to wind down a couple of hours before you lie down in bed. It's very difficult to fall asleep after so much activity, so try to take it easy before trying to rest for the night. Mindful practices like positive affirmations, meditations, breathing techniques or a simple yoga routine are a great way to calm down and reconnect with yourself at the end of the day. 

Using an essential oil mist like Bedtime Mist on your pillow or around your bed can be really helpful to set the tone for a relaxing and calming good night's sleep. Composed of some of the best essential oils for anxiety like Lavender, and Ylang-Ylang will do their best to induce you into a deep sleep...just to re-start all over again tomorrow!
