Cultivate Calm & Emotional Balance: Simple Daily Support For Stress

Cultivate Calm & Emotional Balance

Simple Daily Support for Stress and Emotional Well-Being

The start of a new year often brings a mix of excitement, pressure, and emotional upheaval. New goals, changing routines, and fresh expectations can quietly increase stress—even when good things are happening.
Prioritizing mental and emotional wellness isn’t optional. It’s essential for overall health, resilience, and happiness.

Why Emotional Balance Matters

When life feels full, our nervous system is often the first to feel the strain.
Emotional balance helps us:
  • Respond instead of react
  • Stay grounded during change
  • Navigate stress with greater clarity and peace
One gentle way to support emotional wellness is through aromatherapy.

How Aromatherapy Supports Calm

Did you know your sense of smell directly connects to areas of the brain responsible for emotions?
Research has shown that certain scents can influence emotional responses, helping to reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.
Incorporating supportive aromas into your daily routine can help build emotional resilience and create moments of peace throughout the day.

Today’s Tip: Create Pockets of Peace

Instead of waiting for stress to overwhelm you, intentionally create small pockets of calm during your day.
These moments don’t have to be long or elaborate. A few intentional breaths paired with a calming scent can help reset your nervous system and bring you back to center.

How to Use Calming Essential Oils

Here are two simple ways to incorporate grounding oils into your daily rhythm:

Valor Essential Oil Blend

  • Apply 2–4 drops to your wrists or neck in the morning
  • Supports feelings of courage, confidence, and emotional grounding

Lavender Essential Oil

  • Diffuse in the evening to wind down
  • Or add a few drops to your pillow to encourage rest and relaxation
These simple rituals can signal your body that it’s safe to relax.

Why We Love These Oils for Emotional Support

Valor Essential Oil Blend

Valor combines Black Spruce, Blue Tansy, Camphor Wood, Geranium, and Frankincense to create a grounding aroma that inspires confidence, courage, and emotional stability.

Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender is widely known for its calming and soothing properties, making it a staple for relaxation routines, emotional balance, and restful sleep.

Small Habits, Big Impact

Emotional wellness isn’t built through one big change—it’s shaped by small, consistent habits.
By intentionally creating moments of calm throughout your day, you give your body and mind the support they need to stay balanced, even during busy or stressful seasons.

WELL, HELLO!

 
Hi Friend!


I’m Terri Bonin—wife to my favorite dentist (who keeps me smiling in more ways than one!) and mama to eleven incredible kiddos… yep, on purpose! Now, they’re growing up, getting married, and multiplying, so our family is basically the size of a small town!

I’ve homeschooled for over 25 years (with several more to go until our youngest, who’s eleven, graduates). I was crunchy before it was cool and slathering essential oils on my kids before they were a thing. Around here, I share mom hacks, marriage wisdom, wellness tips, and real-life glimpses into our beautifully chaotic, laughter-filled home.

I hope you find this space happy, helpful, and relatable! And if you love good conversations, come hang out with me on my podcast, "Terri Bonin At Home", where we chat about building a strong family culture, natural remedies, and navigating the wonderful (and sometimes wild) world of marriage and motherhood.

Let’s do life together—one drop, one laugh, and one lesson at a time!
