Meet Anna McElligott

 
Once upon a time our lives were so much harder.  We had no options for helping ourselves with everyday bumps, bruises and overall issues that every family with children encounter.  When my children were small I knew deep down that I didn’t like using all the things I was told I needed on hand for all the things children got when small.  I had no idea there were so many different viruses and weird illnesses out there until I had kids!

Fast forward several years to when my kids were getting older and one suffered greatly with allergies.   I knew in my heart there had to be a better way!  As I was talking to my niece about this she told me about a product she had discovered that helped her immensely, and this product was all natural!!!

I waited an entire year before I decided to jump in and give it a try, this particular spring was really getting to my child with allergies and I hated feeding her OTC allergy meds.   I took the plunge and ordered the products she suggested and was so happy with how much they helped my daughter, no more allergy meds for us!!!

Our lives are so much better now and in my research I have discovered so many more ways to use the products she suggested.  Now when we have the sniffles or someone gets a bump or one of them is stressing over a problem I have a way to help them naturally!  I am so happy and we are so much healthier as a result!!!

    Maintaining healthy stress levels for women over 50

    DAGowk2ZFQgNavigating Stress Gracefully: Essential Tips for Women Over 50


    Stress is an inevitable part of life, but its impact can often feel more pronounced as we age. For women over 50, managing stress is crucial, not just for immediate comfort but for long-term health and vitality. As life evolves, with shifts in family dynamics, career transitions, or even the physical changes brought by menopause, the need to maintain healthy stress levels becomes increasingly significant. Prioritizing stress management is integral to ensuring overall well-being and quality of life. 
     
    Understanding Stress and Its Impact 
     
    Stress, in its simplest form, is the body's response to demands or threats. This response triggers a cascade of physiological reactions, affecting both the mind and body, particularly for women over 50. At this stage, hormonal changes can exacerbate stress responses, leading to issues such as mood swings and fatigue. According to research by the National Institute on Aging, chronic stress in older women is linked to a range of health problems, including heart disease, weakened immune function, and even cognitive decline. Understanding these impacts highlights the essential need for effective stress management strategies. 
     
    Practical Tips for Managing Stress 
     
    Tip 1: Mindful Meditation and Breathing Techniques 
     
    Mindfulness meditation has gained popularity for its profound effects on reducing stress. By focusing your mind and being present in the moment, stress levels can significantly decrease, leading to enhanced emotional regulation. Deep breathing exercises complement these practices by activating your body’s relaxation response. A simple breathing exercise to try is the "4-7-8" technique: inhale deeply for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 7 seconds, and exhale slowly for 8 seconds. Repeat this cycle a few times to experience immediate relaxation. 
     
    Tip 2: Gentle Physical Activity 
     
    Physical activity stands as a cornerstone of stress management. Engaging in regular exercise not only boosts physical health but also elevates mood by releasing endorphins. Activities such as yoga or brisk walking are ideal as they are gentle yet effective options for women over 50. A study highlighted in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that participants engaging in regular physical activity reported significantly lower stress levels compared to inactive individuals. Balancing movement with moderate activity is key to reaping these stress-reducing benefits. 
     
    Tip 3: Nutrition and Hydration 
     
    A well-balanced diet plays a pivotal role in maintaining emotional and physical health. Consuming a variety of nutrients supports the body in managing stress. Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants, like leafy greens, and those high in omega-3 fatty acids, like walnuts and flaxseeds, can have a calming effect. Staying hydrated is equally critical, as even mild dehydration can alter mood and exacerbate stress. 
     
    Tip 4: Supportive Social Connections 
     
    The strength of your social connections has a direct impact on stress levels. Relationships provide emotional support and help in fostering a sense of belonging. Engaging in social activities, whether through volunteering, joining clubs, or simply spending time with loved ones, can alleviate stress. Consider the story of Jane, a woman who rediscovered the joy of community through a local book club. Her involvement not only enriched her social circle but also provided a nurturing support network that helped her manage stress effectively. 
     
    Tip 5: Essential Oils for Relaxation 
     
    Integrating natural remedies such as aromatherapy into your routine can offer significant stress relief. Young Living essential oils, known for their purity and potency, are excellent for promoting relaxation. Oils like Lavender and Stress Away have calming properties that soothe the mind and body. Using essential oils through diffusers, calming bath soaks, or topical applications can seamlessly fit into daily stress management routines, providing tranquility and peace. 
     
    Personalized Stress Management 
     
    Stress management isn’t one-size-fits-all. Personalizing your approach ensures that it aligns with your unique lifestyle and needs. I invite you to take advantage of a complimentary consultation where we can develop a stress management plan tailored specifically for you. Understanding your personal challenges and preferences allows us to create an effective strategy that aligns with your goals and brings about sustainable relaxation and balance. 
     
     
    In navigating stress gracefully, these strategies provide a roadmap for enhancing well-being and maintaining balance. By incorporating mindful meditation, gentle exercise, a nutritious diet, supportive relationships, and the calming effects of Young Living essential oils, you can manage stress effectively and improve your quality of life. Remember, personalized approaches yield the best results. Embrace these tips to embark on a journey toward a stress-free and fulfilling life.

    Summer Fun!

    Summer Fun!
    Summer is the season of fun and relaxation, and essential oils are a great way to enhance your summer activities. Here are some ideas on how to incorporate essential oils into your summer plans:

    1. Beach Day: 

    If you're planning a day at the beach, pack a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of Young Living's peppermint oil. This refreshing spray will keep you cool and help repel any pesky insects that may be hanging around.

    2. Hiking Adventure: 

    Going for a hike in the summer months can be a magical experience, but it can also be tiring. Carrying a small bottle of Young Living's lemon oil or grapefruit oil with you can help to keep your energy levels up and provide a refreshing scent to keep you motivated.

    3. Outdoor Yoga:

    Practicing yoga in nature can be a wonderful experience, but sometimes mosquitoes can disrupt your peaceful meditation. Incorporate Young Living's lavender oil into your yoga practice. This will help to keep the bugs at bay and provide a calming aroma that will enhance your practice.

    4. Backyard BBQ:

    Hosting a backyard BBQ with friends and family is a fun summer activity, but pesky bugs can crash the party. Add a few drops of Young Living's citronella oil to a diffuser or spray bottle to keep the bugs away and provide a fresh, summery scent.

    5. Camping Trip:

    Camping is a great way to experience the great outdoors during the summer months. Pack a small bottle of Young Living's tea tree oil to use as a natural bug repellent, as well as to provide cleansing and purifying properties to keep your camping area fresh and clean.

    Final Thoughts:

    Summer is a time to enjoy the great outdoors, and incorporating essential oils into your activities can enhance your experiences and make them even better. Have fun and enjoy your summer!
