Last year, I went to a special leadership conference that Young Living hosts called Silver Club. Gary Young, the founder and president of Young Living, shared with us that one of the keys to successfully accomplishing our goals, no matter what they are, is to stay in PRESENT TIME. He passed the oil blend Present Time around the room. We all were able to inhale its delightfully strengthening fragrance. It is a blend of neroli (focus), spruce (grounding) and ylang ylang (balancing).
Gary’s advice, along with using Present Time, was:
- Determine what your goal is.
- Map out what steps you need to do on a daily and weekly basis to achieve that.
- ACT… Take daily action over and over, looking ahead regularly to make sure your present steps are aligned with your ultimate goal.
- Celebrate every success along the way… before you know it, you’ll be there!
The Reference Guide for Essential Oils suggests an effective way to use Present Time is to rub clockwise of the the thymus (down the sternum – middle front of ribs) in a circular motion, close eyes and tap three times with energy fingers (pointer and middle). Also apply to neck and forehead. Gary suggested another good way to use this blend: put a drop on your thumb and suck it! So if you catch me sucking my thumb, you’ll know I am “in the moment” enjoying my therapeutic-grade essential oils!
It is really so simple. Stay in the Present, focus on positive actions, and look for reasons to celebrate with Gratitude and Abundance.
