Does your workplace bring you joy?

I made my way back from Utah on Sunday. It was an exciting week of connecting with friends from all around the world, amazing coaching seminars, presentations on science, updates on our stewardship role here in the US and abroad, and of course new product introductions which I will share at a later time.

 I have been blessed over the past few years to meet several 7 figure income earners with doTERRA, a few I can call friend. They are all so encouraging and supportive of me, even when I am not on their personal teams. You see the founders of doTERRA set the company culture as one of loving and giving. It is a direction the the products serve; from wellness advocates caring enough to share the oils with those in physical or emotional need, to the way we source our oils to empower small farmers and communities providing fair trade while employing thousands with more than just a “living” wage.

 As I was able to speak with my mentor, and doTERRA leader Laura Jacobs at length this week, she encouraged me with a new endeavor I am undertaking and spoke to how I ,and those involved with this endeavor, could impact so many lives for the better. As we say in doTERRA one drop, one person, one community at a time. I closed our conversation stating, “We are family,” and Laura emphatically agreed, “Yes we are!”

 When I think about the career path I have chosen at this point in my life with doTERRA, it brings me joy, and I pray that I bring health and joy to others. How blessed to spend my working hours in an environment of encouragement, joy, and love.

Of course, as with any job there are those moments of frustration, when you doubt yourself, and of course there is hard work. But the rewards come back in so much more than just the financial, products, services, and culture. It brings me peace knowing that I am accomplishing so much more.

 Does your work life do this for you? Statistics show that sustained stress at work is a key factor in our emotional and physical health. My hope would be that your 40+ hours in a work environment bring you only limited stress and the rewards are immense. If it doesn’t you might think of a career shift. Take your talents to another path. You might be amazed at the talents and skills you have that others are waiting for!

 Bonus Tip: If work isn’t going so well and you need extra joy in your life, consider diffusing essential oils. All the citrus oils, and citrus oil blends, are uplifting and encouraging. Try diffusing some lemon, wild orange and peppermint, green mandarin, cheer, citrus bliss or bloom. There are so many oils to choose from! Find your favorite 😎
