My body says sleep, my Bain says ... but I'm not tired! | Verna Smoker
    sleep, calming, & relaxation



Good health starts with GOOD SLEEP! It is literally as important as

good nutrition and exercise. 


But I'm not tired! Then what? ... I'm learning I must retrain my brain to go to bed at a decent hour or I will suffer the consequences 

Here are ways I get a good night of sleep and keep my immune system strong.



  •         Lavender
  •         Stress Away
  •         Frankincense
  •         Peace & Calming

You can diffuse or apply these oils topically. Diffuse 6-8 drops of

one or a combo of your favs! You could also try adding a drop to

the palms of your hands and inhaling!




 



Nutrition 

After a good night’s rest, you can focus on nutrition! When your

body is given the proper nutrition, it will function at its optimal

level, and you will find yourself in a much happier state both

physically and emotionally. Your body will feel good, you will have      

energy to do the things you want, and you will be able to

handle those stressful days


Add a drop of each of the following oils to 1-2

oz. of NingXia Red every single day for total wellness.                              

  •         Lemon Vitality or Citrus Fresh Vitality - Support digestive,
  •         immune, and respiratory systems.
  •         DiGize Vitality - Supports digestive system.
  •         Thieves Vitality - Supports immune system.

Ningxia Red is high in antioxidants. REALLY HIGH in antioxidants.

1-2 oz. of this stuff daily will get you what you need to really be

living above the wellness line. It is also really great for eye health

and your immune system.







Exercise 


It’s not rocket science that exercise is a key ingredient to proper

health and good self-care... BUT a lot of us struggle to fit it in our

busy schedules or we are unmotivated to make time. The secret is

to use your oils to help you get motivated, energized, and get ‘er

done!


These two oils can be used in your water or hot tea to

help wake you up, feel energized, and get your body moving!

  •          Peppermint Vitality
  •          Lemon Vitality

PRO Tip: a drop of Peppermint Vitality in your Hot Chocolate is A-

MA-ZING!


These other two oils are perfect for before, during, or

after your exercise...

  •         PanAway is most commonly used for achy joints and muscles. If
  •         you are a nighttime workout person, diffusing this or applying it
  •         to your skin can help calm those nerves post-workout and get
  •         you ready for bed.
  •         Raven is a blend of different Eucalyptus oils and some other oils
  •         that are beneficial when diffused or applied to your chest.

More oils recommended to use during excesses 


  •         Cool Azul Pain Cream is used for pain and arthritis. This will
  •         come in handy after workouts, shoveling snow, taking care of
  •         kids, or after travel on a plane or in a car!!
  •         Deep Relief Roll-On - This is like PanAway on steroids. Seriously!
  •         It gives a little more tingling sensation and is really easy to use
  •         because it comes pre-diluted with a roll-on top. Use it on
  •         anywhere, anytime.
  •         Breathe Again Roll-On is similar to Raven. It comes pre-diluted
  •         with a roll-on top. It’s easy to keep in your gym bag and apply to
  •         your chest pre-, mid-, or post-workout.
  •         Protein Complete - A clean protein powder that makes on-the-go
  •         lifestyles easier. If you are a coffee drinker, you HAVE to try this
  •         recipe!

Add …

1 tsp coconut oil

½ tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp baking cocoa powder

1 scoop Vanilla Spice Protein Complete

1 cup hot coffee

Even non-coffee drinkers like it!




Mental & Emotional Support


Our lives are busy - most of us are constantly going. The hustle and

bustle of life can bring on loads of mental and emotional fatigue.

We need to take some time to support ourselves in this area!


Some FAVS...

  •         Frankincense: Diffuse 4-8 drops to create a peaceful space. Pro
  •         Tip: Add a drop to your face every morning to keep a youthful
  •         appearance.
  •         Stress Away: The name really says it all. You know when you will
  •         need this! The KEY part is keeping it WITH YOU so you can use it
  •         the moment you need it! 
  •         Valor: This blend is referred to as "liquid courage." A drop on
  •         your wrist or in the diffuser can make a huge shift in your mental
  •         state. If you are feeling a little insecure, grab this one and use it.


Add these to your daily routine ...
  •         Joy: a blend of many high-frequency oils, including Rose! You
  •         can use oils to raise your frequency, which will put you in a
  •         healthier state both physically and emotionally. Diffuse, add a
  •         drop to any diffuser jewelry, or apply to your wrists and take a
  •         few deep breaths.
  •         Christmas Spirit: a blend that will help lift your mood and make
  •         different seasons of your life more memorable.
  •         Northern Lights Black Spruce: an oil that is calming and smells
  •         just like a Black Spruce farm! It's very grounding.
  •         MindWise: a dietary supplement that supports brain and heart
  •         health. It will help you stay focused and sharp during the chaos!
  •         Clarity: a blend to keep your head clear and make room for more
  •         memories!!! It can also be used to help boost your energy levels.

The moment we heard the doctor say…


“ITS A BOY”


My husband and I were over the top excited with the birth of our second child.


Those words were music to our ears, UNTIL the music was drowned out by, “Your baby boy has a birth defect, your son is born with spina bifida”. The next few days were a blur of emotions. I was scared, really scared.


I was 22 years old. We were young parents. This was not suppose to happen!


We were told that our baby would need a shunt placed in the ventricles of his brain to relieve the pressure of the spinal fluid on his brain, better known as, hydrocephalus. This was all so foreign and terrifying. Surgery after surgery became our baby’s life.


FEAR, SADNESS, ANGER, DISAPPOINTMENT, GUILT and BLAME on MYSELF became part of my world. Would our baby boy have brain damage? Would he walk? Let alone…live?

Surgeries and long hospital stays all took a toll on my emotional well being.


Instead of being raw and vulnerable with my feelings, I buried them. I was “Super Mom” (or at least that’s what I thought). I learned to wear a mask and I was good at it. I looked the part and I acted the part because I was “Super Mom”. 


However, I pushed my feelings down DEEPI pretended they were not there. This way I DID NOT NEED TO FEEL so deeply. It took awhile to notice, years to be exact, but I was slowly losing control of my emotions. My stress was going through the roof. Panic attacks and depression became real in my life.


Years passed.... 


At the age of 23, our son developed a brain infection which caused him to have colonic status seizures (you know, the kind that do not stop except through medicinal interventions). TERRIFYING to watch!

To top it all off, my husband survived a heart attack (thankfully he is doing well), my mom died of breast cancer, and a few years later my dad died of bladder cancer.


All of this added even MORE STRESS and WORRY.


By Gods grace, and because of our deep faith in HIM, we have and continue to weather the storms. 


Because of the RESEARCH I've done, today, WE DO LIFE differently. We’ve discovered ways to implement and make changes that support our IMMUNE SYSTEMS as well as our EMOTIONAL and BRAIN health. We’ve made changes in the amount of TOXINS that we surround ourselves with. We have become more aware of how “toxic exposure” has an affect on the internal structure of our brain and can trigger both short and long term effects. 


I’ve also found ways to manage my stress level. Those terrifying panic attacks no longer torment me. We have  found the tools we need to live our BEST LIFE, and for that, I am grateful. 


It's our life, and though there are parts of it that we continue to look for solutions in, we will continue to move forward. 


LIFE IS A JOURNEY, and it is BEAUTIFUL. 


If any part of my story connects with your own story I would love to chat and connect with you.
