Why Does Motivation Essential Oil Work?

So who has tried Young Living’s Motivation blend?ย ๐Ÿ™‹

I’m going to guess you fall into one of these categories:

  1. Tried Motivation and love it!
  2. Tried it but still feel tired and unmotivated.
  3. Need some motivation and want to try this oil!
  4. Need some motivation but think this oil sounds crazy.ย ๐Ÿ˜œ

Whichever description fits, you’re about to find out why and how Motivation works, AND when it might not be the best oil choice.

Motivation EO is a blend of:

  • Anthemis nobilis (Roman chamomile) flower oil
  • Picea mariana (Black spruce) leaf oil
  • Cananga odorata (Ylang ylang) flower oil
  • Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) oil

Are you thinking what I think you’re thinking? Aren’t Roman chamomile, Ylang Ylang, and Lavender are all super relaxing oils? ๐Ÿค” I don’t need to relax. I need to get off my butt and get stuff done!

So here’s the secret to why this oil works….

Motivation promotes “feelings of action and accomplishment” because it helps you fight resistance.

To quote from Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art, “Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.” Robert McKee, in the foreword to the book says Resistance is an “all-encompassing term for what Freud called the Death Wish- that destructive force inside human nature that rises whenever we consider a tough, long-term course of action that might do for us or others something that’s actually good.”

Are you picking up what I’m laying down? ๐Ÿ˜‰ The calming oils in Motivation help combat the nervous, tense, listless feeling that is Resistance. And the Spruce can help you feel grounded enough to open and release the mental blocks that are standing in your way.

Basically, if you’re fighting procrastination, Motivation just may be your new best friend.ย ๐Ÿ’ƒ

So how do you use it?

You want those molecules to stimulate the limbic system to relax, which means you need to smell the oil. Apply the blend topically to your pulse points, or just take a couple of minutes to breathe it in deeply. I love a few drops in the diffuser as well.

On the other hand if you’re just bone tired from the day but still have five things to get done, you may want to pick a different oil like Clarity or Peppermint. Or take a nap. Motivation does not fight adrenal fatigue.ย ๐Ÿ˜˜ย Need to know more about these wacky oils? Go here.

What would you do if you had a little Motivation and a lot less resistance? Share in the comments! This quote from the War of Art sums it up for me.ย ๐Ÿ™‚ย #fighttheresistance ย ๐Ÿ’ช
