• Pay attention to your thoughts as they pass through your mind.
• Don’t judge the thoughts or become involved with them.
• Simply observe and take note of any patterns.

When we get scared, our bodies go into fight, flight, or freeze mode. So if we are in a setting where we get a “safe” fright (like watching a horror film), our brains will quickly evaluate the situation and tell us that we’re free from risk.

Many of us are actually seeking "controlled" fear and suspense, because we know we are safe.

Make a habit of checking in.

Simply ask yourself: How do I feel right now?

Note your response. Tune into the signs your body is telling you. Pay attention to the little signals or feelings you get.

Essential oils are absorbed by smell receptors (connected to the limbic system) which controls heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and stress.

They carry the “essence” of the plant.

Each plant’s essence has a different chemical composition that affects its smell, absorption, and effect.
