Trump: 'We
can't let the cure be worse than the problem
itself'
~The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.~
|
How I
Overcame Fear
|
In recent years,
on my journey of self-acceptance I’ve noticed
I’ve been getting a bit better with my fear.
When I say better, I’m talking about the ability
to go about my everyday tasks without fear
stopping me. When I’m able to talk to people,
for instance, that’s a huge sign to me that I’ve
got a better handle on my fear.
I started to reflect on how and why – why is it
that my fear has gotten less forceful? How did
this happen? Was there something I did that
helped?
|
For so long, I
was ashamed of my fear. I tried my best to hide
it – even though hiding your own personal hell
in your mind is a really difficult thing to do.
I still would try every minute of every day. And
it was exhausting. And you know what else, it
only led to more fear – fear of being judged for
having fear. It was a vicious cycle. Until I
found this beautiful place.
|
The
less stressed out I am, the less fear I have
My fear tends to be most debilitating when I’m
already overwhelmed. At the peak of my burnout,
my fear was at its worst. It was as though the
physical and mental exhaustion I was feeling
only made my fear worse. The stress and anxiety
I was feeling led to increased negative and
irrational self-talk, which led to increased
negative and irrational fear. When my mental
state was unhealthy, my fear was thriving.
And then I started taking better care of myself.
And over time I noticed that the healthier I
felt mentally, the stronger I began to feel, and
the less fear controlled me. My thoughts were
less negative and more rational, which meant I
was able to work through a fearful thought in my
mind. The fear no longer stopped me from moving
forward.
|
Work on managing your stress, practicing
self-care, and notice how your fear begins to
change.
Self-care looked like this for me:
Exercise: in any form you choose, it raises
natural endorphins.
Emotional self-care: is about becoming more in
tune with our emotions. It’s about
checking in with yourself, becoming more mindful
of your triggers and thinking patterns, and
finding ways to work through them, rather than
bottling them up inside.
I don't recommend exploding on someone else, we
cannot change people we can only recognize and
change our self. Its about looking inside
at yourself. Essential oils have helped me
connect with my inner elf.
|
The less I avoid a fearful
situation, the less fear I have
When my fear is working its magic, it’s trying
to get me to avoid anything and everything that
is causing it. And unfortunately, with
debilitating fear, ANYthing and EVERYthing is
causing it.
Fear is telling me to avoid getting out of the
house, to avoid getting on that plane, to avoid
going for that job interview – and the list goes
on and on. Fear wants me to avoid it all. Then
what? You avoid it all and then what? You would
think the fear would disappear, but NOPE – it
remains and gets stronger and stronger.
Avoiding things only leads to more fear and more
anxiety. I know many of us have learned this or
read about it, and of course like most things,
it’s all easier said than done. But, it’s been
my experience that each time I have pushed
myself to do something my fear wants me to
avoid, I have felt better about myself, more
confident, and less fear.
So...: Try your very best to do the things your
fear is making you avoid, and notice the ways
your fear begins to change....
|
The
less I doubt my ability to handle something,
the less fear I have
Why do we feel fear? Well, because we fear we
can’t handle what’s to come. Fear comes from
feeling inadequate.
How do we overcome this feeling? Well, by
trusting in our ability to handle any and
everything that comes our way.
Here’s the truth: when I believe, in my gut,
that I will be okay no matter what happens, my
fear instantly diminishes. And this didn’t just
happen overnight for me. I had to work on
reducing my self-doubt. This all started by
practicing self-care and making my wellness a
priority. I used positive affirmations to help
me build my confidence as well.
The healthier I began to feel, the more my sense
of self-worth grew. And over time, I started to
believe more and more in my ability to handle
anything that comes my way. And it’s been an
empowering place to be in, where fear doesn’t
run the show.
|
Work on believing that you are capable of
handling anything that comes your way, and
notice the ways your fear begins to change.
Here are some ideas, well it might be different
for others...
Some
Ideas:
Write a Journal –
*Writing
down our feelings can help us better
understand them
*Practicing
mindfulness and meditation – I like using Clarity
because it helps me feel connected, and
focused. Other oils that I like to use for
this is, Composure,
Grounding
this one specifically because it helps me feel
protection, empowerment and grounding.
*Setting more
boundaries – it’s okay to say no
*Being creative
– express your emotions through painting,
writing, cooking, etc.
*Starting a
gratitude journal – focusing on what you’re
grateful for can sometimes help put things
into better perspective
*Working on
changing your negative self-talk –
*Practice
replacing the negative with positive self-talk
Spiritual Self-Care
Spiritual self-care nourishes your soul, helps
you find inner peace, and gives you a greater
understanding of life beyond yourself.
This self-care doesn’t necessarily have to
relate to religion, although it can be religious
for some people.
This connection to something bigger than
yourself can help you find purpose and meaning
in life. It can give you the courage to push
through when times get difficult and inspire
hope time and time again.
Some
Ideas:
Practicing meditation
*Spending time
in nature
*Praying
*Writing in a
gratitude journal
*Donating to a
charity or cause you believe in
Intellectual Self-Care
We often neglect to care for our intellectual
well-being. This type of self-care
includes doing something you enjoy that
nourishes and challenges your mind. It
expands your knowledge.
Intellectual self-care can involve figuring out
what your current talents/strengths are and
developing them further. It can also include
learning a new skill.
Since this type of self-care helps you learn
more about your skills and interests, it can be
useful when deciding which career you are
passionate about the most.
Some
Ideas:
*Reading a book
*Completing a
puzzle
*Taking a course
on something that interests you
*Watching a
documentary on a topic you’re interested in
Social Self-Care
Humans, by nature, are social beings. We like to
feel connected with others. This type of
self-care may look different for introverts and
extroverts – because our levels of comfort in
social situations differ. But, a connection is
essential to us all. Having a support system of
individuals we can trust, and nourishing these
relationships can be an example of this
self-care.
Some
Ideas:
*Spending time
with loved ones
*Going to lunch
with a friend
*Joining a yoga
class, or any class that interests you and
that you can meet new people
*Reconnecting
with an old friend
*Striking up a
conversation with someone at the coffee shop
when you pick up your morning coffee
Sensory Self-Care
Sensory self-care helps you nourish your senses
– sight, smell, touch, and sound. It is an
effective way of bringing your mind to the
present moment and helping you lower your stress
levels. Living in the present moment helps you
better cope with any past and future worry you
may be feeling. These simple, yet powerful
self-care activities can be effective ways of
becoming more mindful and soothing an anxious,
overwhelmed mind.
Some Ideas:
*Burning your
favorite scented candle
*Taking a warm
bath with your favorite essential oil scented
bath bomb
*Spending time
in nature
*Listening to
soothing music
*Walking
barefoot on the grass
As you can see, some activities can serve
multiple types of self-care.

What Makes Soap
‘Antibacterial’
|
Antibacterial
soaps (sometimes called antimicrobial or
antiseptic soaps) contain certain chemicals not found in
plain soaps. Those ingredients are
added to many consumer products with the intent
of reducing or preventing bacterial infection.
Many liquid
soaps labeled antibacterial contain triclosan,
an ingredient of concern to many environmental,
academic and regulatory groups. Animal studies have shown
that triclosan alters the way some hormones
work in the body and raises potential concerns
for the effects of use in humans.
|
Studies have
shown that including antibacterials in soap
doesn’t reduce the spread of infectious disease.
So there’s just no need for them to be there.
And what’s more, they may not be safe.
Triclosan crosses the skin barrier. It ends up
in plasma, urine and even breast milk. Animal
studies have shown that triclosan can disrupt
hormones. It hasn’t been deemed to be directly
harmful to humans yet, but a lot of people
aren’t convinced it’s been shown to be
completely safe either.
|
If you use
these products because you think they protect
you more than soap and water, that’s not
correct.
|
| Triclosan can be
found in many places today. It has been added to
many consumer products—including clothing,
kitchenware, furniture, and toys—to prevent
bacterial contamination. Because of that,
people’s long-term exposure to triclosan is
higher than previously thought, raising concerns
about the potential risks associated with the
use of this ingredient over a lifetime. |
In addition,
laboratory studies have raised the possibility
that triclosan contributes to making bacteria
resistant to antibiotics. Some data
shows this resistance may have a significant
impact on the effectiveness of medical
treatments, such as antibiotics.
The FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) have been closely collaborating on
scientific and regulatory issues related to
triclosan. This joint effort will help to ensure
government-wide consistency in the regulation of
this chemical. The two agencies are reviewing
the effects of triclosan from two different
perspectives.
The EPA regulates the use of triclosan as a
pesticide, and is in the process of updating its
assessment of the effects of triclosan when it
is used in pesticides. The FDA’s focus is on the
effects of triclosan when it is used by
consumers on a regular basis in hand soaps and
body washes. By sharing information, the two
agencies will be better able to measure the
exposure and effects of triclosan and how these
differing uses of triclosan may affect human
health.

Soap
doesn't kill germs on our hands, it removes
them.
Germs stick to the oils and grease on our hands
(sounds yucky, but it's totally normal). Water
alone won't remove much of the germs on our
hands because water and oil don't like each
other, so they won't mix. But soap likes both
water and oil. That's because soap molecules are
a type of surfactant, which means they have one
end that's water loving, or hydrophilic, and one
end that's oil loving, or hydrophobic.

Natural
Things You Can do
for Your Health
|
After a
seemingly endless cold and flu season last
winter we're now faced with a novel corona
virus, COVID 19. A new virus often accompanied
by a sore throat, cough, fever and respiratory
infection.
|
The following
is a valuable protocol that's quick and easy
to make yourself, all you need are a few
pantry items and one special antimicrobial
essential oil blend.
|
Organic
Apple Cider Vinegar
(with the Mother): the mouth puckering liquid
with antibacterial properties of its own. It
also reduces the PH of tissue which helps to
prevent bacteria from growing. Raw organic
apple cider vinegar also has a powerful
prebiotic called Inulin that may help increase
white blood cells and boost immunity. Raw
Organic Honey: 2007 study from Penn State
University found that honey was as effective
as dextromethorphan, an active ingredient in
over the counter cold medicine to relieve
cough symptoms. Honey was also proven to be
more effective at suppressing cough symptoms
during sleep.
|
Essential Oil
Blend ~
Immune Blend:
an antimicrobial blend with Clove Bud, Citrus,
Frankincense, and more, essential oils known
for their anti-bacterial, anti-viral,
anti-fungal and anti-parasitic properties.
*Note: Lemon and honey together is a
long-standing, time-honored remedy for sore
throats. Lemon essential oil isn't derived
from the fruit of a lemon, it's cold pressed
from the rind. This is important to know
because the essential oil is not acidic like
the fruit. Lemon can help cut phlegm if
present and contribute antimicrobial
properties as well.
For kids, I would suggest using Frankincense
and Lavender applied topically with carrier
oil as needed. Remember, a warm compress
drives the oils in deeper (Frankincense is a
driver too) and is particularly soothing for a
sore throat. A warm compress is also a good
protocol for kids, very calming when they're
not feeling well.
FYI:
Gargling to wash the throat is commonly
performed in Japan, and people believe that
such a hygienic routine, especially with
gargle medicine, prevents upper respiratory
tract infections (URTI) - Clinical
study. Consult with your health care provider
if your body temperature rises above 101
and/or if throat becomes swollen and breathing
difficult.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons warm water
1/4 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Organic Raw Honey (local if
possible)
2 drops pure *Immune Blend
small mason jar or glass
*Immune Blend
includes Clove Bud essential oil, this blend
is considered to be very warm but its benefits
outweigh the heat.
Directions:
Add warm water, apple cider vinegar, essential
oils then honey, stir until blended
thoroughly.
Gargle for 30 seconds then spit the brew out
in the garbage. Continue use for several days.
Any of these Essential Oils will work:
Immune
Spice, X
Plague, Immune
Boost, ImmuBoost
Extra,
KidCare
