Top 5 Oils to Keep Your Mind Active

Brain fog can be a real pain. Whether it’s from chronic pain, not getting enough sleep, or mental illness issues, you will often find that it can be difficult to try to keep your head on straight throughout the entire day. Dealing with these issues, you want to be sure that you’re doing everything possible so that your mind can stay active and on top of things.

“Essential oils are suggested to have healing properties for all kinds of illnesses”, says Quick Doctor. Many people have turned to essential oils to make sure that they can stay on top of any and all of the issues that may come along when dealing with brain fog of all sorts. There are a lot of essential oils out there, though. Which ones are going to do the best job of getting this taken care of? Are there ways to make sure that you can find solutions that work out best for you? Let’s take a look at some of the most important options out there.

Lavender Oil. We have all heard that using lavender of whatever sort can go a long way in terms of getting what we need for relaxation. Without a relaxed mind, we will likely find it difficult to take care of the issues that may happen with our brains in the meantime. So, consider adding lavender to the air in order to make sure that you can relax and concentrate, no matter what may come your way.
Frankincense. Your mood plays a significant role in whether or not you’re going to be able to concentrate or take care of different tasks. This ancient oil is actually known for being a very effective mood stabilizer that can take care of a variety of issues related to anxiety, depression, or bursts of anger. This can be quite helpful in regards to getting everything done n a day.
Mandarin Oil. This oil, from the mandarin orange, actually quiets the mind to help concentration. If you’re someone that is used to having racing thoughts that make it hard to think about certain tasks, or you’re a multitasker that needs to take care of all of these things in order to be able to function properly, then you can definitely benefit from using this.
Rosemary Oil. If you have been looking for something that improves memory, this is it. You will have a much sharper memory when you infuse this during studying or when you’re trying to learn material in a specific situation. Memory is a big part of what we do, so having this on our side can go a very long way.
CBD Oil. Hemp oil is getting more and more popular because it helps us to concentrate, can help our moods to be better in general, and make it so that we can actually work out what it is that we need to do on a regular basis. If you have any issues related to concentration or anxiety, using CBD oil in a diffuser or on your temples and neck can actually help you out immensely.

What a wonderful day to ring in 2011!!!

Well, it was gorgeous and so mild today. At around 4pm I set off for a walk with Zazzy (Zoey). It was Zazzy’s first time around the lake and she was so good. She stayed right by me, did not wander ahead or lag behind. She kept the pace and really enjoyed herself. Jimi and the boys were working-playing outside. Jimi is building a Bulldog barrier for the porch so no more of the spindles go missing. As I explained in a prior post, my discontinued cedar porch spindles are being eaten by two very mischievous Bulldogs. In the spring we will have to make the decision to have the replacement spindles hand milled out of mahogany or replace them all with a composite vinyl spindles and railing. I am leaving those decisions for the spring and for now we will just build a barrier to prevent further damage.

It was incredibly mild, I did not even need a jacket. The lake is semi-frozen. Definitely would not be on the ice as it looks a bit thawing. I guess we are right on target for the infamous “January Thaw” my mother always spoke about. I took my camera and it was a great walk that definitely worked out my body and mind. I find walking and taking pictures so relaxing and really helps to de-stress and unwind my mind. I especially love being able to look back on various pictures at different times of the year. I love looking at my beautiful bright Peony flowers on a cold winter night, or see my kids splashing and swimming in the lake when we are blanketed in snow.

I really like that I started the new year off with a nice walk. Getting my body back to the routine of my walks felt so good. I mean walking on a treadmill is nothing to the experience of walking out in the beautiful world we live in. When I walk with my camera there is always the anticipation of what I might see and photograph. What great scene may I be able to capture? I hope you all have a wonderful new year. I pray we are all blessed with good health and great love in the new year. God Bless. Welcome 2011!!!
