Overcoming Frustrations
Life can be exhaustively frantic when we pressure ourselves to be viewed as successful and accomplished. But this places us under an amazing amount of stress and may lead to frustration if we set unrealistic and unachievable goals.
When we don't reach our aspirations -- whether in a career, financially or romantically -- our frustrations will materialize into irritability, anger, depression, withdrawal, self criticism and other self-destructive behaviors.
In order to avoid falling into such an unhealthy, endless spiral, it is important to place some distance between you and your frustrations and take a closer look at your life and accomplishments. Indulging yourself through relaxing massages, a nice meal, meditation and other rewards will calm the mind and all frustration-related symptoms. Take a few minutes each day to sit alone and silent and practice using one of the aromatic blends below to help face and eventually eliminate your frustrations.
In a 10-ml bottle, pour the essential and then add organic vegetable oil to fill.
