My heart is singing right now. I went to Mount Buffalo this morning to see if there was any snow and to spend a little time in nature. Mount Buffalo is only 30 km from where I live at the moment.
I was greeted by the most beautiful scenery. I was all of a sudden in winter wonderland!
My heart is feeling full. I have always felt at home in the heart of nature. I remember thinking when I was younger that I could never have a job where I would spend inside. So my whole life I have created my life around having time to spend in nature. Nature fills my heart up with gratitude, it creates a sense of peace within and my body loves it too.
I captured some photos and videos and I put together the below clip. It will give you an idea of how amazing my morning was. I hope you enjoy it.

I sometimes have people ask me; why I choose the Essential Oils I choose, when their are cheaper alternatives. It is a good question. I asked myself that too, before doing my own research. It wasn't until then that I started to understand why some essential oils are more expensive than others.
Firstly, it's important to do research, so that you can understand why the price difference is worth it. The price difference is definitely worth it. It is also important to understand what essential oils are and also how they are made.
Essential Oils are plant extract and they have been made by steam distilling, resin tapping or pressing various parts of the plant (flower, leaves, bark or fruit) to capture the compounds that produce the essence or fragrance. It can take a huge amount of plant matter to produce a single bottle of essential oil. Every essential oil is priced differently depending on the plant; where it's grown, how much plant matter is needed to produce the oil, purity of the plant, rarity of the plant, shipping costs and more.
It can take a huge amount of plant matter to produce one single oil such as Rose. I find it incredible that it takes up to 9.98kg or rose petals to produce only one 5ml bottle of pure Rose oil! It takes 75 lemons to produce one 15ml bottle of Lemon! Isn't that incredible.
It's a delicate process to harvest the plants. Some botanicals has to be harvested at specific time of the day, month and season to make sure you get the best quality oil.
Some plants are also very rare such as Blue Tansy which originates from the mediterranean coast of Mexico.
The best quality oils are grown in their natural environments to produce the best quality oil. This means that it can cost a lot in shipping.
Here are just some things that I would check before purchasing the essential oil:
- Read the ingredients on the bottle
- Research the company you are looking at buying the essential oil from
- Check so they don't have any synthetic fillers
- Check if you are allowed to go and visit the company's farm
- Make sure the oil is pure and authentic
- Look at the companies values and how long it's been around
They are just some things that I would check.
After doing extensive research myself and using many different brands of oils, I decided that I choose the essential oil based on Quality and the company that ticked all my boxes was Young Living. Young Living has high quality products. They have a strict Seed to Seal quality commitment. They oversee the making of their oils from start to finish.
The price range of Young Living's oils vary a lot but you can get oils that are under $30 such as
Lemon, Cedarwood, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus Globulus, Lime, Nutmeg, Grapefruit, Orange, Pine, Spearmint, Tangerine and also some of the blend RC, Citrus fresh, Envision, DiGize, Christmas Spirit, and Seedlings Calm and Sleepyize.

Overcoming procrastination and taking action towards a healthier and fitter lifestyle requires commitment, discipline, and a strategic approach.
Here are some steps to help you stop procrastinating and start taking action:
1. Set Clear Goals: Define specific, measurable, and realistic health and fitness goals. Having clear objectives will give you a sense of direction and motivation to take action.

4. Start Small: Begin with small, achievable actions to build momentum. For example, commit to a 10-minute workout or incorporate one healthy meal into your day. Starting small helps you overcome inertia and build consistency.
5. Find an Accountability Partner: Seek support from a friend, family member, or fitness buddy who shares your goals. Having someone to hold you accountable, offer encouragement, and celebrate your progress can be highly motivating.

7. Use Positive Reinforcement: Reward yourself for taking action and reaching milestones along the way. Celebrate your achievements, whether it's treating yourself to something you enjoy or acknowledging your progress with positive self-talk.
8. Practice Time Management: Improve your time management skills to maximize productivity. Break your day into blocks of focused work, incorporating designated time for health and fitness activities. Avoid multitasking and allocate specific time slots for different tasks.
9. Find Your Motivation: Discover what truly motivates you to be healthy and fit. It could be improving your overall well-being, boosting your energy levels, achieving a personal fitness goal, or setting a positive example for your loved ones. Connect with that motivation regularly to stay committed.
10. Embrace Mindset Shifts: Cultivate a growth mindset and embrace the belief that you have the ability to change and make progress. Replace negative self-talk and self-doubt with positive affirmations and self-compassion. Focus on the benefits and the joy of living a healthy lifestyle.
11. Seek Professional Guidance: Consider consulting with professionals such as a fitness trainer, nutritionist, or wellness coach. They can provide personalized guidance, support, and expertise to help you stay on track and overcome obstacles.
Remember that change takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and stay committed to your goals. Each small step you take is a valuable move towards a healthier and fitter life.
