JOY!
Many of us want more Joy in our lives, I know I do! I feel like many things in my life bring me joy, so I wondered how a tiny little oil bottle that said Joy on it could bring any to me…
I’m a real skeptic of the “mood oils”. They have great names like Joy, En-R-Gee, Stress-away, Believe, Grounding and Motivation…just to name a few! I didn’t really understand how they could work to help, change or improve my mood.
Joy was an oil that I received when I purchased my premium starter kit and signed up for my wholesale discount. I REALLY didn’t like how it smelled when I opened the bottle, so I put it away in my little oil bag, and there it sat for months. The aroma was powerful, and I didn’t like it, so I never used it and really didn’t think it could help me in any way.
Well, a friend shared a story about how her cranky 18 month old was having a hard time riding in the car after they’d been driving for quite a few hours. They were on a road trip, so there really wasn’t any other choice but for her to be grumpy. My friend decided to try putting Joy on the bottoms of her daughter’s feet to see if it would help her. She said it was amazing, completely changed her mood, and they made it another hour and a half down the road before they had to stop for bathroom breaks for the other kids.
A week or so later my youngest (11 months at the time) was very cranky when we were at a restaurant with friends. I decided to try out this Joy oil and see if it could work for him. I put one drop on his feet and rubbed it in. IT WAS AMAZING! His mood changed shortly after that, he made it until it was time for lunch, ate his food, and then played with the other kids for a bit before time to leave.
I was hooked! I started using Joy oil on myself when I felt grouchy or when I was being short with my children. I noticed it really helped and would turn my grouchy day around and help my temper with my children because it uplifted my mood. It helps many people with depression and anxiety, and just helps to raise your frequency to a higher level.
Also, I started diffusing it! Which let me tell you, makes it smell TONS better than straight out of the bottle.

So this morning, first thing while trying to get breakfast made up and served to my 3 children, my middle child (5 years old) began defying my authority and throwing a fit about cereal. (He struggles with understanding and controlling his emotions) I lost it! His fit became my fit, and I have no excuse. We have truly been working on yelling in our house, and all that work went out the window in my lack of patience this morning. After all had calmed down and nerves subsided, Joy oil came to mind. I put some on my heart and a few drops in the diffuser. The rest of the morning has gone smoothly and it has taken our “grumpies” away! Thank you Lord for JOY oil!
