Top Survival Tips for April, as we await Spring!

Sending you warm LOVE and CHEER, as we await the arrival of Spring. 

 

I always need a little extra of both of these in April. Hear what I’m saying?!
Every April I get excited for Spring, and then I remember, it’s still winter in Toronto! 
Here’s what I do to keep myself happy and sane in the final stretch before the blooms arrive and the sun shines:

Keep moving my body … 

Get to class at 889. Yoga, Pilates, get on your mat. Book it in your calendar just like the most important meetings. I’ve got 45-60 minutes booked in every day this week. What’s your calendar like this week?

Cheer Essential Oil 

Lifesaver! This blend of oils (Wild Orange Peel, Clove Bud, Star Anise, Lemon, Nutmeg, Vanilla Bean, Ginger, Cinnamon & Zdravetz Herb) helps give a boost to the blues, providing a cheerful boost of happiness and positivity when I’m feeling low or in the dumps. I roll it on first thing in the morning, and it helps me “get ahead” of my emotions. Essential Oils are so incredible for that – they provide amazing support to upgrade my emotions. And they work quickly! 

 

How to use Cheer:

• Cheer Roller (10mL) 
  roll it on the bottom of your feet
• Cheer Oil (15mL) 
  one drop in the palm of your hand, mix 1/4 tsp. coconut oil, rub on the bottoms of your feet
  diffuse 4-5 drops in your diffuser 
• Buy an empty roller (we sell them at 889) and make your own DIY Cheer roller! See my vlog below for a how-to. Super easy.

If it’s not Cheer you are in need of, check out the vlog where I map out some negative emotions for you and give recommendations for how you can shift your emotions and energy to get out of the feeling you’re stuck in. 

Make the choice: Raise your vibe and upgrade the way you feel. 

Simple and proactive self-care routines should be our #1 priority. Why do they so easily take the back seat? Somewhere along the lines we mixed-up self-care with self-indulgence, as though it’s something to feel guilty of. Let’s upgrade that belief!
