Unfortunately I’m acquainted with occasional stress. We’ve met, sometimes with it getting the better of me. It’s just no fun.
As we started to make healthier changes in our diet and in our overall lifestyle, I realized I wanted to deal with occasional stress in a natural way. While I believe that other methods have their place, I simply wanted to find something more natural for myself.
When we got our Young Living Premium Starter Kit in 2013, I was excited to see two of the oil blends, Joy and Stress Away. You know, there are just some days that try to kill your joy and up your stress. These two oils were calling my name! 😉
True confession… At first, the scent of Joy wasn’t my favorite. Fortunately, I have friends who encouraged me to try it anyways. They assured me that my feelings about it would change. And they were right.
I put little roller ball tops on the Joy and Stress Away and started using them daily. I rolled them on my wrists and over my heart. I made sure to rub each one in as completely as possible before moving on to the next one. I did this each morning before breakfast and again in the afternoon. Sometimes I’d reapply them in the evening.
Instead of reacting to the stresses of the day, I was being proactive.
Every once in a while, life gets crazier than usual, and I need some relaxation. When this happens, I apply Joy and Stress Away more often. I also grab another oil blend, Valor. I put a couple of drops of Valor or Stress Away in my hand, rub my palms together, and cup my hands over my nose, breathing deeply. This is a quick, convenient way to use the oils.
I love that I’m not dealing with those stressful moments as often now that I have my daily routine in place.
If you deal with the same type of occasional stress that I do, please don’t take this as advice to stop whatever methods you’re using to handle that now. I just wanted to offer a more natural way to handle the day-to-day stresses of life.
If you want to get started with Young Living oils, I highly recommend buying their Premium Starter Kit. It comes with 11 different oils that you can use every day, and it includes a diffuser. (I love our diffuser for getting the oils into the air in our home. That way we all enjoy them.) Stress Away is part of the Premium Starter Kit too!

I got a kit before they added these two oils. It is an even better deal now and I can’t wait to add stress away to my collection!! 🙂

It’s a must-get oil, Denise! I just got a 15ml bottle for Christmas, and I use it every day.
Liz says
Where do you buy the little roller balls to fit on the bottles? I want to try this. Liz
Jennifer Bruce says
Liz, I buy the ones right from Young Living. I know for sure that those will fit the bottles. I hope that helps!
