The Importance of Healthy Habits
The Holidays are such a beautiful time of year but between travel, big meals, and busy schedules, it’s easy for our healthy routines to fall by the wayside. Setting healthy habits is the key for feeling more balanced during the Holiday season.
That’s why I love weaving simple, intentional holiday wellness habits into my days — along with the power of doTERRA essential oils to keep my body strong, my mind calm, and my energy in check.
Here are seven simple ways to stay healthy and radiant all season long.
1. Begin Each Day with a Centering Morning Ritual
Starting your morning with calm intention can set the tone for your entire day — especially during the holiday rush.
Try this:
Diffuse doTERRA Balance® or Frankincense while taking 3 deep breaths. Say an affirmation like:
“I am moving through this season with ease, gratitude, and grace.” You can also apply these oils on the bottoms of your feet to start the day or put a drop on your hands, rub together and inhale.
These grounding essential oils promote emotional stability and mindfulness, helping you start the day centered and peaceful.
2. Boost Your Immune System Naturally
Holiday travel and gatherings can put extra strain on your immune system, and that is where essential oils can support your body with natural ways.
Try this:
Add a drop of doTERRA On Guard® to warm water with honey and lemon each morning.
You can also diffuse On Guard throughout your home or apply it (diluted) to the bottoms of your feet daily.
I also like to use the doTERRA OnGuard Softgels if I’m starting to feel under the weather or I’m attending events with larger crowds to support my immune system.
The OnGuard protective blend helps cleanse the air and support your body’s natural defenses —It’s a must-have for immune support and not just during the Holidays but all year round!
3. Support Healthy Digestion
Between festive feasts and holiday treats, your digestion might need a little extra care.
Try this:
Rub a drop of doTERRA DigestZen® (diluted with carrier oil such as doTERRA fractionated coconut oil) over your abdomen after meals, or add one drop to warm water or tea. You can also massage a drop or two on the bottoms of your feet for extra support.
This soothing blend helps reduce bloating and supports healthy digestion — perfect for when you’ve enjoyed a little too much holiday goodness or you are traveling.
4. Prioritize Restful, Restorative Sleep
Good sleep is one of the best gifts you can give yourself this season. It supports your immune system, mood, and energy levels.
Try this:
Diffuse Lavender, Serenity®, or Cedarwood before bed to help calm your mind and prepare your body for deep rest. You can also apply a drop to your pillow or wrists to promote relaxation. I also love to use the doTERRA Serenity stick and doTERRA Frankincense stick at night for relaxing aroma. The sticks are easy to apply on pulse points and where ever I feel the need for extra support.
5. Manage Stress with Calm & Clarity
The holidays can be full of joy — and also have some stressful moments. The key to dealing with overwhelm or stress is creating small moments of calm to reset your energy throughout the day.
Try this:
Apply Adaptiv® or Wild Orange to your wrists and inhale deeply when you feel overwhelmed.
Both oils help ease tension, uplift your mood, and promote emotional resilience. You can also use the doTERRA Adaptive Capsules for extra support.
6. Move Your Body with Joy
Movement is essential for keeping your energy and mood high, even during busy days.
Getting some movement doesn’t need to be long or complicated — a short walk, lifting some weights, gentle yoga, or dance session is enough to keep your body in flow and help you feel stronger.
Try this:
Diffuse Peppermint and Lemon for a refreshing, invigorating atmosphere that motivates you to move and boosts focus. You can also apply a drop of both peppermint and wild orange essential oils on your hands, rub together and inhale for a quick pick me up.
7. Stay Hydrated & Refreshed
Hydration is often overlooked but crucial for holiday wellness. It supports your energy, immunity, and digestion.
Try this:
Add a drop of doTERRA Lemon, Wild Orange, or Grapefruit essential oil to a glass or stainless steel water bottle for a cleansing and refreshing flavor boost. You can also add the doTERRA MetaPWR Recharge Electrolyte mix in your water for extra hydration support.
A Season of Health, Joy & Intention
This holiday season, take time to slow down, nurture your body, and fill your days with small rituals that support your well being.
With these simple habits — and the beautiful benefits of doTERRA essential oils — you can move through the season feeling healthy, peaceful, and present.
Remember, true holiday wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about honoring what your body and mind need most.
✨ Here’s to a season filled with health, joy, and mindful moments. ✨
