How Using Essential Oils Can Improve Your Anxiety
Last night, my seventeen-year-old daughter had started writing an essay for school that was due last night. Every time she has a paper to write, I tell her to begin when she first finds out so it won’t be such a struggle. However, she tends to wait until the last moment every time. I used to do the same things until I learned in college if I waited for the last minute the assignment would be a total failure. 
 
As she began to work on this assignment, I was telling her we needed to go home early, as we were enjoying our Sunday evening at my parent’s house. She needed to work on her assignment in peace and quiet. She had not been listening to me, and I got frustrated, and I started to yell at her and tell her she needs to listen more and stop always thinking everything is going to be okay without you learning to listen and be obedient.
 
Well, normally, I can say this to her and she listens, but this time, something else happened and I did not know what to do at that point. She came over to me and said “I don’t know why you’re yelling at me! I can’t do this anymore! I’m tired of this class and I’m just sick of this stuff,” and the tears were coming and she was in such anxiety mode at this point. She buried her head in my shoulder and she just cried, and all I could do at that point was hold her and try to be there for her and console her.
 
How does anxiety affect our bodies? In the short term, anxiety increases your breathing and heart rate, concentrating blood flow to your brain, where you need it. This very physical response is preparing you to face an intense situation. 
If it gets too intense, however, you might start to feel lightheaded and nauseous. An excessive or persistent state of anxiety can have a devastating effect on your physical and mental health.

Once she stopped crying, I told her it’s going to be alright. Let’s go home and pivot and begin again and see how to finish the assignment. I drove us home and she took a nap at the same time I did. I woke her up at 7 pm. The paper was due by 11:59. I decided to diffuse an essential oil in her room called GeneYus to help her. 
 
This oil helps minds focus and concentrate on projects. When using it, you can diffuse it up to 1 hour 3 times a day. This is recommended for children between the ages of 2-12 for applying to the skin, but it can still be used for older people trying to find ways to concentrate on projects. For children, only adults should apply 2-4 drops directly to the desired location as needed. If they have sensitive skin, dilute it with a carrier oil like V-6 Vegetable oil complex, olive oil, coconut oil, or grapeseed oil. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes and there is possible sun sensitivity with use.              
 
I had not been using my oils for a while, but when I realized how using essential oils really helps in all aspects of your life, and you will get a boost with just a few drops, I continued using them more often! My daughter finished writing her paper within an hour and was able to get her chores done and she was a lot more relaxed. I am so thankful to have found something to help with her anxiety for her homework and realized that as we pray also and begin to “Cast all your anxiety on the Lord because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7), he will show us new directions in how to help our situations for all of our help comes from the Lord (see Psalm 121:1-2).

Meet Tabitha King

 
For years, I felt helpless inside my own body.

Hi, I am a wife and mother, a minister, a massage therapist, and a holistic health coach. 
I am passionate about working with the body and learning more about how our bodies work, but more importantly, how to be made whole in our bodies, minds, and spirits.

Through the years, I had become a workaholic and never felt any peace. I was overwhelmed and stressed with dis-ease and pain.  I had to stop working for a while because of the chronic pain while having a husband and three children at home who needed me. 

I struggled with my health for quite some time, and I went through worse times before they got better. 

How many times have you been to a doctor, and they acted as if they couldn't figure out what's going on with you, so you go seeking doctor after doctor, looking for someone to help you because you know you are dealing with pain and need help figuring out the problem? How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and end up feeling like you failed at all those things? 

And then, it happened. I have found something amazing that is helping me to understand I AM a healthy being, and I CAN recommit to a healthy, wealthy life!

I was introduced to a different way of living that many people are talking a lot about lately. I realized for my chronic situations; I needed to start getting my health under control. I’d considered it before, but I kept cycling back into a downward spiral going through a valley filled with pain. 

Prolonged physical illness not only affects us physically, but it affects everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many tend to suffer a lot at the hands of doctors who make them worse, not better. I have dealt with this and it has put a bitter taste in my mouth towards doctors. The different medications did not lead to helping me get better, but they caused more pain, and side effects from the medicines caused deeper stress to my body. Anger, hurt, and pain kept showing up in my life, and I didn't know how to deal with it. These things controlled my mind, but now I am being made free. I love God, but, for quite some time, while I knew the Word says, "There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus," I was still suffering from condemnation, guilt, blame, and shame.  Now, I have learned to persevere with joy during my pain because in the end, by faith, God will get the victory through my life's journey, and I can walk in my victory daily!

I’m on a mission to help people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself.
