Affirmations and essential oils

What are affirmations? Affirmations are positive statements designed to challenge negative thoughts and reinforce self belief. Verbalising affirmations daily can lead to improved self confidence, increased motivation, and a more positive outlook on life. For effectiveness, it is important to believe in the affirmations you choose, and say them consistently. By adding essential oils you can greatly enhance the effectiveness of positive affirmations by creating a powerful mind body connection. 

Why do affirmations and essential oils work well together?

The unique scent of an essential oil can be linked to specific affirmations, which can reinforce positive thoughts each time you smell that oil. Essential oils interact with the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions and memory and help to lift mood and support the emotional state of your affirmation.
