Riding the Waves of Emotions
Marketers understand that consumers make most purchases based on emotions. A great deal of all decisions are based on emotion more than logic. Your emotions can inform, influence and inspire you in positive ways. Not understanding how to work with your emotions can create resistance and emotional barriers to becoming the person you want to become.
Emotions as Energy in Motion
Emotions are simply motions of energy, like the waves of the ocean. They ebb and flow with their own natural vibration. This vibration influences your overall state, and learning emotional regulation helps you navigate these shifts with ease. When you resist a wave in the ocean, it pummels you. The same holds true when you fight your feelings.
A common mistake is to resist, ignore or stuff emotions that make us uncomfortable. We often judge these emotions as bad, wrong, or immoral. This resistance creates more discomfort, like getting mad at yourself for snapping at someone. Now you have initiated a negative spiral. Judgement and shame do not lead to emotional freedom.
The 90-Second Truth
There is no need to make yourself shift out of an emotion. Most emotions last only 90 seconds. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor explains that the biochemical lifespan of an emotion is roughly 90 seconds. When you experience an emotion, the physiological response lasts about 90 seconds before it dissipates. What often happens instead is we initiate thought processes that fuel deeper, more difficult emotions.
Understanding, honoring and detaching from our emotions is an important step in shifting thoughts, beliefs, habits and identity. This is where aromatherapy enters the picture. Young Living essential oils provide a powerful tool for emotional regulation by helping to raise your personal vibration during those key 90 seconds.
Using Aromatherapy to Support Your Vibration
Emotions carry a frequency or vibration that affects your body and mind. Young Living aromatherapy allows you to work with this natural energy rather than against it. Inhaling the pure plant essences can gently guide your system toward balance, making it easier to ride the wave instead of being pulled under by resistance.
Many people notice that consistent use of Young Living oils creates space between the feeling and their reaction. This space supports emotional regulation and prevents the negative spiral that comes from self-judgment. The oils do not force change; they simply offer support while your body completes its natural 90-second cycle.
The Simple Language Shift
Today my challenge to you is to notice your emotions and instead of saying “I AM angry, exhausted, or sad,” pause and say instead “I FEEL angry, exhausted, or sad.” This does two important things:
- Makes you aware of the emotion and identify it.
- Creates a healthy separation from the emotion.
When you combine this practice with Young Living aromatherapy, the separation becomes even more powerful. The oils help stabilize your vibration so the emotion can pass without dragging your thoughts into deeper waters.
