Finally she quieted, brightened up, and said, “Let’s do what an optimist would do!” We’d been working on that – optimism is an emotional intelligence competency.

“What would an optimist do?” I asked.

“Think about something happy,” she replied. “Find something else to do.” She remembers things, that’s for sure.

“What else could we do that would be fun?” I asked her.

“I want to play with Donnie,” she said. He’s little boy next door. And off she ran.

I decided to freshen up with shower and then settle in with a good book.

Learning “optimism” can’t start too young! When we have a disappointment, we don’t dwell, we find something else to do that’s fun, and your child can learn this too.

Lavender is a good antibiotic for skin. If your child has cuts and burnings, you can apply creams or lotion with enough concentration of oil to prevent infection. It also reduces scaring.

Another good aromatic oil is Rosewood. It origins are from a native tree in Brazil. It has a psychological effect of balancing, uplifting and enliven. You can use it before an interview, or a business meeting, or even before a hot date! If you are feeling down or lack of "joie-de-vivre" this aromatic essence can change your state of mind and make you look like an enjoyable person (save on alcohol or drugs here!).

Rosewood is also good to treat sensitive of aged skin, because it stimulates regeneration of skin.

You can use Aromatherapy in different forms; candles, shower gels, soap, bath mousse, diffuser, potpourri, spray for room, etc... Whatever you feel comfortable with. You can use aromatherapy for different emotional well-being; you can treat anger, anxiety, confidence, depression, burnout, loneliness, concentration, etc...

With all chemicals that float in air, in water and in our food, those can produce chemical imbalance in brain and change our moods and alter relation that we have with people in our lives. The use of aromatic products is a cheap solution for better health and a happier life.

All those aromatic products can help you have better relationship with your mate (or opposite sex), with your business associates, at social events, in your home, etc.... to be able to obtain more out of life because of uplifting attitude that you'll get. Be careful of buying too cheap; make sure that you are buying quality products with enough concentration to get beneficial effects.

Wishing you great moments!
