5 Power of the Positive
7 Give a Little Thanks
9 Prepare Your Snacks Early
11 Start Off on the Right Foot
Starting a new year, with a list of goals and
resolutions can quickly overwhelm you. Take
five or ten minutes to meditate at the start
of your day. The power of focusing on what
you want most will help you reach your goals
faster. Try applying InTune® or dōTERRA
Motivate® to the back of your neck before you
start to boost your meditation practice.
Everyone loves to feel appreciated. Take a
moment to say thank you. Thank the grocery
bagger, your stylist, your children’s teachers,
and your garbage man. Take the time to send
a text to your team members and let them
know you are grateful for them. Zero your
focus in on gratitude and express thanks to
those around you.
Stopping to grab fast food or a soda may seem
like an easy choice, but fighting afternoon
hunger with prepared healthy snacks is a more
effective way of keeping your day on track.
When you first wake up, put together your
snacks for the entire day. Having them ready to
go will help you make healthier choices rather
than reaching for a treat.
After you wake up from your long winter’s
nap, enjoy the morning by starting it off
with breakfast. Check out the dōTERRA®
blog for many yummy recipes you can
enjoy for a healthy start to your day.
6 Get Outside
8 Fight the Germs
Going outside during the winter may seem
like the last thing in the world you want to
do, but getting a little sunshine improves
mood and gives you some vitamin D. Try to
get at least half of your daily steps outside
during a walk. Take your kids, take your
spouse, take your dog—and get out!
Getting sick is one of the quickest ways to
derail your healthy living. Using dōTERRA
On Guard® Sanitizing Mist, spritz your
children’s hands when they come home
from school or your own hands after a day
of shopping. The moisturizing formula
eliminates bacteria and other germs on your
hands without drying out the skin.
10 Take a Rest
12 Reflect and Reprioritize
Don’t forget to focus on your rest. Start
your bedtime routine early. Focus on putting
down your phone and relaxing your mind.
Try taking a bath while diffusing dōTERRA
Balance®. Go to bed on time. You will be
pleasantly surprised by how much easier
your day feels tomorrow when you are
well rested.
Pat yourself on the back—you made it through
these small and simple tips of health! Take
time to reflect about this health journey in your
journal. Perhaps this is a good time to evaluate
where your health is and set goals for where you
would like it to be. Don’t forget to write in your
journal about how grateful you are for your body
and the healthy choices you can make. Diffuse
dōTERRA Motivate® while you work.
