Routines. Each of us have them. Some are very strict and rigid and some are more relaxed. For some of us, routines are what keeps us focused and in line. For others, they are not even recognized.
I have a routine. Every morning, I get up, brush my teeth, make myself a cup of coffee (which undoes all my whitening I just did on my teeth), cook an egg or little something for breakfast, sit down for a little devo time, and them get on with the tasks for the day. Not anything to write home about but it is what I do.
What made me think about this was being asked if I had a routine with my oils. Something I did every day. I really hadn't thought of the way I use my oils as a "routine" before but I guess in some ways, they are just that.
So, if i had to start over and add all those little non-thought processes I do into my routine, it would include taking my allergy bomb first thing before I brush my teeth with the Thieves toothpaste. Then, I would take the cream I mixed up and put it on my hands and back or anywhere else I needed it so I could start the day pain-free.
Next I would take my Inner Defense and Allerzyme before I ate and then I would re-fill my diffusers with my oil of the day. At night then, as I am getting prepared to go to bed, I would take another Allergy bomb and use my cream again for any aches and pains that crept in during the day. If it has been a hard day, I will put a few oils on my feet to help me have a more relaxing night.
Now that I have actually written it down, I realize how much I actually use Young Living Products in my daily routines. They have become so incorporated into my life that I never think about when I am using them.
I automatically put a capful of Thieves in my dishwater and my soap dispenser of my washing machine and put a couple of drops of lavender and white vinegar into my softener dispenser. When one of the grandsons come in with a bug bite, I automatically reach for the purification and lavender to rub on it then I remember to spray them down with our natural version of bug spray and send them back outside to play.
Young Living products are just a part of my life. I guess that is what routines are, the way we run our lives. Mine just happens to incorporate essential oils, and I am loving the results.
