Essential Oils with Lauren

One thing you may not know about me is that I wake up early. Like 4:30-4:45am early.

I’m crazy, right?

No, not really.

This mama needs her quiet, ALONE time.

And I am NOT a night owl.

I need to set my day up for success as a stay-at-home mom of 3 boys during a pandemic.

It’s my opportunity to get ahead of the the day, achieve more and get closer to my prioritized goals.

But getting up that early initially is not an easy feat, so I want to share with you this week, how to make that early wake up time a reality.

First...

PLAN

Waking up at 5 am starts the day before. You simply cannot go to bed the night before and tell your body to get up at 5 am the next day, you have to program and set your body for that action.

This isn’t just a theory but it is the groundwork for productivity to everything you do in life.

The ability to PLAN gets you organized so you can be capable enough to take charge and make the right intentions.

A goal without a PLAN is just a wish! Planning brings that wish into the present so you can do something about it. You PLAN by sleeping earlier to wake up on time and give your body the time to recharge.

The first question you need to analyze is how many hours of sleep do you need to be functional, to be awake, active and productive?

Do you need 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours or 8 hours to do this?

You have to actively take note of your sleeping habits and take note of your productive level throughout the day when you have 6 hours or 8 hours rest.

Make sleep a priority. Schedule it in. Put your phone away during the day so it’s not a distraction for you get get things done.

If finding the motivation or focus to schedule sleep in is hard for you, consider trying something effective and safe to help you get there. Motivate, InTune or Thinker blends, which are on sale this month, can help you get that anchor you need to PLAN.

Comment “I want to try” below and I’ll get you set up with something to try for free.

I am going to do something I don’t normally do. I want to give a little shout out to my husband, Shane 🥰
This guy next to me has had a heck of a year, to say the least, and he’s still been an awesome husband and father through it all.

From shoulder surgery the day after Christmas and not being able to power lift for a few months, to endless virtual interviews for a new job during quarantine, doing all the grocery shopping and lots of traveling for baseball games/practices for our oldest son, this guy has been through a lot of stress.

Earlier this week, we were literally hours away from him accepting a new job in a new state with no relocation during quarantine and while school is about to start remotely. I almost had a panic attack (thank you dōTERRA’s Adaptiv for saving me) but I can’t imagine what he was going through. However, just as he was about to accept, his current employer gave him a promotion he couldn’t turn down so a huge weight was lifted off of both our shoulders. No moving, at least this year 😉
I’m so grateful for Shane and all that he does for our family. And I’m so proud of him for his hard work and speaking up for what he deserves.

What is one thing that you are grateful for that your spouse or partner does for you?

Where are my fitness pals here?
