Essential oils to fulfill your New Year's resolutions

Let's think about what are the most common New Year's resolutions: exercise, focus better at school or work, be more relaxed or find — now — love. We all pronounce them with the best of intentions and the first days of the year we tend to have an optimistic mood about them. Unfortunately this engine usually goes off as the year goes by until we end up leaving our purposes for the one that follows and the one that follows (and more than once until the one that follows). But so that this motivation does not disappear, we can make use of the essential oils of MayanOils® whose diverse properties work as an ideal engine to maintain the spirit and focus that we need to fulfill our goals . 

1. Get more exercise. The energizing essential oil of Mexican Lemon from MayanOils® is perfect for feeling strength and vigor. Using it in aromatherapy or enjoying its aroma by placing a couple of drops on a cloth will make us feel more willing to start our exercise routine with a feeling of freshness and optimism.

2. Transform the silhouette. If you suffer from anxiety and that increases your appetite, the essential oil of Grapefruit from MayanOils® in aromatherapy is ideal to reduce that feeling since it balances the mood and reduces the desire to eat, especially sugars, due to stress. Topically, in massages, it also helps reduce excess fat.

3. Improve concentration. Among all the properties that Clove essential oil has , one that stands out is its action as a stimulant of mental activity, which is why it has been used for years in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. So it is the perfect ally so that you do not lose focus while you study or work. Without a doubt a boost for your productivity.

4. Have moments of relaxation. The stress that continues to cause the pandemic, added to the setbacks we experience every day, means that we have little time to rest and clear our minds. But a short 5 minute meditation is enough to make a change that is also noticeable in the body and in the mood. The best companions for these moments are Lavender and Copal Santo oils , which help us relax and create an environment conducive to reflection and inspiration.

5. Find love. This is not a magic balm, but Damiana essential oil almost is. Its sweet aroma has always been noted for its aphrodisiac powers, but it is not necessary to have a partner to enjoy it. Since it awakens all the senses, the Damiana generates a loving atmosphere that also allows the encounter with oneself, something perfect for a reunion with the cherished memories and dreams that are on the table. It is ideal for romantic encounters, but if it is used as an accessory to personal moments to increase self-esteem, it is great, since self-love is - surely - the key to access to the encounter with true love.
