Not only every New Year but each new day brings with it the potential for change.

Use the
prompts below to consider how you’d like to add or use essential oils to create positive
change in your life.

1. Where would you like to travel to? (This could be travel to further your aromatherapy
studies for e.g. a conference overseas or interstate or even a local botanical garden.
Then again it may be totally unrelated to aromatherapy and a chance to switch off.)

 If you have found these prompts helpful you may wish to invest
in the “My Aromatherapy Journal” PDF.

Here you will find pages and space to record the botanical name,
information about the plant, tree or flower from which the
essential oil comes, how it is distilled, the oil’s therapeutic,
emotional, mental and spiritual properties and any safety issues.

There are also pages for recording your blends and the costs associated with each
blend made.

In the inventory section you will find individual pages dedicated to your essential oils,
vegetable oils, hydrosols etc. and containers where you can record date of purchase,
the supplier, the cost and expiry date.

In the reference section you will be able to keep note of your aromatherapy books and
their authors, articles and websites you may want to refer to and any classes you
have taken and your thoughts on them.
