STEP 14 - UNDER PRESSURE

broken image

Academic stress is just the tip of the stress iceberg. College students are experiencing many new responsibilities and mastering unfamiliar tasks, such as meeting and living with (and in some cases, putting up with!) new friends and roommates, navigating campus, and juggling classes, studies, extracurricular clubs, and friends.

Even the most laid-back personalities will find something to STRESS about at some point in their college careers.

CITRUS OILS (which include Lemon, Wild Orange, Bergamot, Lime, Tangerine, and Grapefruit) are very uplifting to mood. They are energizing and refreshing and give off a fresh, sweet scent that most people love. Citrus aromas increase feelings of happiness and decrease stress. Diffuse three to five drops, put a drop in water, or dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply topically.

CAUTION: Citrus Oils can be phototoxic, so avoid exposure to the sun or UV rays for at least 12 hours after topical application.

When extra stress piles on, the REASSURING BLEND can provide additional support. Diffusing or inhaling this minty-floral blend before taking a test, presenting to a large group, or in times of worry or distress can help bring about inner peace and the reassurance needed to push past fearful emotions.
