I make no apologies about my love for Essential Oils. Specifically, Young Living Essential Oils.
For years I read articles about the benefits of essential oils on your health, mentally and physically. And for years, there was always something more important and I couldn’t bring myself to make that $160.00 commitment.
$160.00 is ALOT. OF. MONEY.
I remember feeling that exact same way too!! This is one of those items that you see the price tag–sit the item down–and walk slowly away before some salesperson decides to come tell you how badly you need it in your life. Completely get it. I was there too….BEFORE.
So, lets talk about what people have told me when I talk about my oils!
Now, let me begin by saying I don’t believe in being pushy. I talk about them because I LOOOOOVE them! Just like Bobby Boucher loves his water, I LOVE these oils! And much like Bobby Boucher, I take them very seriously. When I talk to you about them, I am actually opening myself up…as funny as that may sound. I am allowing you into something that I care about BECAUSE I care about you! I want to help you and watch you grow/heal/journey with the help of these oils! Anyway, enough about how I feel about these oils…here’s the TOP 5 Reasons Why You Can’t Invest In Essential Oils.
#1 THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE
Seriously, if for one month your family didn’t eat out (lets say a family of 4)you could afford this.
If decided to cancel your current monthly subscription box for just a 3-4 months and held that money back–you could afford this!
Budget $20.00 a month for 8 months—guess what? You just bought your PSK (Premium Starter Kit)!
Tell your family in lieu of a bunch of presents for your birthday/Christmas/whatever other holiday you buy gifts for in your life, you would like them to go together and get you this!
Start a GoFundMe/Kickstarter (I say this tongue-in-cheek, but I have seen worse things than this on there!)
There are ways to make these oils affordable, peeps! Just think outside the box instead of what cash is in your hand (or checkbook if you still rock out that way, like me).
#2 I BELIVE IN MODERN MEDICINE
Girl, so do I! I don’t know what I would have done if I had to have my 10 pound babies naturally! Thank goodness for that modern medicine!
Just because I use Essential Oils to help with my families overall health and wellness does not mean I don’t believe in modern medicine. I will never say that they will cure cancer…or fix a broken bone. I will never suggest you use Essential Oils for conditions that CLEARLY need to be handled by a physician.
But I can tell you that there is a place in your medicine cabinet for them.
Can’t sleep? A doctor is going to prescribe a medication. With Young Living, you have options of supplements or different blends such as Lavendar and Peace and Calming or, my favorite snooze inducer, Bergamot and Cedarwood.
What about poison ivy? Or bug bites? Ache’s and pains from arthritis, or working out?
All of these are physical things that Essential Oils can help with. I am not even going to begin to dig into all of the emotional support that they can provide!
#3 I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT. ITS JUST TOO MUCH!
Remember how I told you it took me YEARS to make this decision?
This was my #1 reason right here.
There is just too much to it! No matter how much I read about them, I felt like I never fully understood.
The great thing about Young Living is not only the wonderful quality of their oil, but also the people in their company! There is a vast sea of knowledge out there for anyone who needs that support. They have Facebook Groups and are doing Parties all the time demonstrating HOW to use the products and to get the most bang for your money!
And I was right. No matter how much reading I did on them, I was never going to understand them until I actually picked them up and used them.
And it will be that way for every single individual who wants to use them. I can’t figure out what will be right for you. You have to discover what you need from USING them (and of course reading and continuing to learn about them just grows that knowledge).
#4 ITS JUST NOT THE RIGHT TIME
I am going to let you in on a secret.
There is no RIGHT TIME.
I know, I know. I burst a bubble right there, huh?
There is a theory that if you find something you REALLY want, don’t buy it. Go home, write down the item, the price, and where you can get it on a piece of paper. Put it somewhere you can see it everyday. If at the end of the 30 days it doesn’t seem that important to you, then you know its not the right time.
But if you do still want it, then you need to do something about it.
Listen, I was once you. I was scared to begin over.
Start a new way of living.
If you ask most Young Living members do they regret when they bought their kits, they are going to tell you that they just regret that they waited so long.
