Book 4: Cheerfulness and Essential Oils: Natural Ways to Create a Joyful Life
Abraham Lincoln considered humor to be a life preserver and would often make jests and or tell quaint stories that brought light to the gloom during the dark hours of national peril. He always kept a copy of humorous work close at hand. When fatigued, annoyed, or depressed, he would to take this up, and read a chapter with great relief.
I imagine Lincoln was someone who would have taken deep breaths of fresh air as often as possible, if locked inside, he would have enjoyed pleasant aromas captured from nature and contained in small bottles.
Orison Swett Madsen believed that Cheerfulness was a very valuable Life Power.
I believe that using essential oils can help anyone to create a healthy, positive and cheerful attitude to create a better life and help them more easily handle any challenges of the mind, body or spirit they encounter.
Every day, you should get outdoors and take deep breaths of fresh air.
But when that is not possible, you can fill your indoor world with aromas that create beautiful images in your heart and mind.
Whenever you find yourself at a breaking point, reach for a bottle of spruce essential oil to create the scent of the great out of doors and remind you of when you were enjoying some wholesome recreation. Cypress, spruce and pine essential oils can help bring the out-of-doors aromas into our homes and thoughts.
Orison Swett Marden says: “It is a grand thing to live, to open the eyes in the morning and look out upon the world, to drink in the pure air and enjoy the sweet sunshine, to feel the pulse bound, and the being thrill with the consciousness of strength and power in every nerve; it is a good thing simply to be alive, and it is a good world we live in, in spite of the abuse we are fond of giving it.”
If we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles with us, the air seems more balmy, the sky more clear, the earth has a brighter green, the trees have a richer foliage, the flowers are more fragrant, the birds sing more sweetly, and the sun, moon, and stars all appear more beautiful.
Life is filled with joy when we approach the world with a sense of wonder and awe.
The very presence of nature brings a great joy into our lives.
Pleasant aromas can help children feel more cheerful rather than hopeless or sad when the world around them seems filled with confusion or sorrow. An uplifting aroma can transform their lives like sunlight, filling their hearts with gladness.
NOW! is the best time to quit losing sleep by worrying about things you can’t change and read a chapter or two of this book or another one that puts a smile on your face and ends the day with pleasant thoughts.
And it is easy to divert your mind to a more peaceful place when inhaling the flowery aroma of lavender essential oil. Its aroma will take you for a walk in a garden and its relaxing qualities can help you unwind and thus relieve the great strain of the challenges of the day you find yourself reliving when trying to fall asleep.
