Sometimes all you need to turn a bad day around is good music and essential oils!
Happiness is easy to come by when you are a kid. As an adult, not so much. Give a kid an ice cream cone, a new toy, a day at the park… pure joy. Adults have to work a whole lot harder to find happiness and work their way out of a funk.
For me, it’s pretty simple. A clean house, a new pair of shoes, fresh sheets. These simple things (and my kids) make me happy without fail. Diffusing essential oils always makes me happy.
Certain essential oils can have a positive effect on mood and can increase feelings of happiness. When you inhale the tiny molecules in essential oils you are communicating directly with the feelings area of the brain. This sends a signal that it’s time to cheer up!
