What does this make possible?

New Year... New Possibilities... Same you! 

My childhood was shaped by Sunday School and Vacation Bible Studies - some of the memories that linger, are the songs we learned.  Some of these songs are forever embedded in my mind - rising to the surface when needed.  With a new year ahead of us, let's look at all the possibilities! 

When considering the possibilities, remember that you can absolutely move forward from where you are right now toward the life you imagine, the life you want. Any step forward is a step worth taking. We don't have to accomplish everything - we only really need to stay curious and stay open to the possibilities and all of our potentiality.  

You can't force outcomes, but you can think and act in a way that allows them access to your life.  What would it look like today if  all you did is enjoy the day and consider possibilities - instead of making resolutions - and take the pressure off? You may even want to write them in present tense as statements of fact dated January 1, next year. For example, instead of "I will work out every day", you could consider "I am healthier than I have been in years, I move more, eat better, sleep better and am less stressed" - possibility fulfilled. 

Keep in mind through the month of January that all manner of amazing is possible, and that you are a possibility! 

So that you can get this song stuck in your head too... take a listen, compliments of Veggie Tales! 

​I am a Promise!
I am a Possibility.
I am a Promise, with a capital P...
I am a great big bundle of  - 
Potentiality! ​

How to use our essential oils - aromatherapy for embracing possibility: 
I can make suggestions, but aromatherapy is also very much about personal preference. 

• Motivating/Uplifting: Citrus oils (especially grapefruit), peppermint, rosemary, basil
• To be more creative / focused: Herbal: Rosemary, clary sage, basil, lavender, fennel
• Meditative/Relaxing: Frankincense, sandalwood, vetiver

How to Use an Intention Aromatherapy Blend
Once you’ve chosen your aromatherapy oils,

• Repeat your intention to yourself as you use your blend. Focus on possibilities
• ​Imprint the aroma in your nose, and soul, so that you associate it with  the possibilities
• Use your intention aromatherapy oils or blend as you take steps forward toward your possibilities, or each time you feel yourself doubting your potentiality.

Scent is very powerful and our brain associates certain aromas with certain objects or certain parts of our lives. Memories from childhood remain deep within our brain and it is a particular aroma that often triggers a memory from the past. Remember your aromatherapy possibility blend aroma, and turn those possibilities into realities!
