Beauty from the inside out is a theme that describes much of what I write about and the wellness work that I do. What goes into our body, our thoughts, the air we breathe, what we consume at any level, will always find its way to the surface for all to see.

Discovering Beauty from the inside out is observing the impact of spiritual and emotional wellness practices on your physical world.

For example, living in South Florida has become increasingly stressful. Then again, daily life anywhere in the world can be emotionally triggering to say the least! All the virus news and economic concerns makes for some pretty heavy vibes.

One of the healthiest ways that I have found to heal heavy vibes such as anxiety, stress or depression is aromatherapy.

Earlier this week, I created a room spray using Sweet Orange, Bergamot and Cedarwood essential oils. I wanted something that would create a happy, calm environment wherever and whenever I needed it. Citrus oils are known to be mood enhancing. I knew the combination would add a lift. But….wow!

I’ve practiced aromatherapy for a few years, I expected a good response. However, I’ve never been in a pandemic before! The feelings that I had taken for granted over the past few months, like sleeplessness, irritability and constant snacking , well they have disappeared! I hadn’t noticed these particular effects until I was aware of some pretty odd behaviors on my part. Oh, like opening a can of my favorite IPA beer and forgetting to finish it?! Or, getting up at 7:30 am to wash and simultaneously fold laundry from the dryer.

What’s so fantastic about this?
1. I don’t do anything at 7:30 am unless I’m getting paid for it.

2. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve planned my outfit for the next day from the laundry basket on top of the dryer. Look ma, I’m healed!

Also, I did not go around spraying all day. I did spritz the A/C vent in my car when I ran errands. At bedtime, I sprayed a tissue and tucked it into a candle holder on my nightstand. Needless to say, I am pretty pleased!

Discovering Beauty from the inside out is a way of life. Even when you think you know, you will find there’s always more to discover.
