Caroline's Reboot Journal

Welcome to my ongoing journal about the transition into a new health program to manage multiple sclerosis. Due to various reasons my current program is no longer available. I'm interested to see how my body responds. I am so happy to report that I am at a 6. Maybe a 7... So, Can I move from a 6 to a 10 on my wellness scale?
Join me and share your thoughts, stories, successes, failures, and adventures!

12:09pm. Incorporated great pick me up blend of oils into my daily routine. Talk about feeling revived! Used lavender, lemon and peppermint. Ten drops each in glass of filtered water. Ok, my new morning pick me up! It's considered good for allergies and I can see why. It's like taking a shot of clarity.
I juiced early on. And drank herbal tea of pomegranate and lemon and several glasses of water.
I even made some gluten free hot cereal from Bobs Red Mill. Love this stuff! All in all ,had a good day so far with nutrients and feeding the body, mind and soul. Here's to continuing the trend!
And then ran errands to OSH, aka orchard home supply. Picked up some canning goods and couldn't resist these patriotic candies made in the USA.

7:15am
A long day and I hit the sack early last night. After a fulfilling dinner of home made Thai chicken soup I settled into the computer to wrap up some projects. I decided to infuse the air with doTerra's OnGuard essential oil blend. It diffused as I slipped into a solid sleep last night and is diffusing as we speak, purifying the air around me. While it's purifying, I am sipping on Bragg's cider water. Detoxing all the way around!
I woke up in the middle of the night, to go pee, then fell right back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later, same reason, but peacefully fell back to sleep before waking for the day. It's a wonderful feeling, being able to wake then sleep and not up have the stresses of the day irritate your sleep patterns. Woke again at 6am and bam, decided to hit the day running. Well, jogging may be a better word, but feeling the love and energy today. Lots to get done! Starting taxes, working with clients, prepping for a networking event and hitting some household chores. My room looks like a bomb went off. Time to get this mess in order. At least I don't mind a mess too much. It's not something that's going to get on my way of getting things done. This was a big lesson to learn, that while our outside looks messy our insides are quite orderly. I used to get quite stressed if all of my ducks weren't in a row. But now, I know my ducks are there and will come when I whistle. No need to keep them or me on a short leash. What's on your agenda today? 3/27Wow. Woke up at 5:30am crystal clear. What is this about? The essential oils? I'm not sure but will keep you posted. Physically I felt sluggish. Mentally, ready to go! Cranked on a bunch of work that by 8am was ready for a break. Loving this day! Started:
  • doTerra Zendocrine - Doing some detoxing before I start my MS protocol on 1 April
  • Lemon pomegranate tea - 5-drops lemon essential oil, pomegranate tea leaves, tablespoon of locally produced klauses bee honey.
  • Got Moving! Went for 2 mile walk. Took me forever to return up the BIG hill on the way home. Ugh. Need more physical energy.
  • Increased herbal tea, Bragg's vinegar water
  • Juiced

A day of getting it done, taking care of myself and enjoying this beautiful day and what nature has brought us. This is what living is all about. I fed the mind, body and soul and feeling the rewards! Join me in a reboot. Even if it's just for one day. Make one positive change and see what might happen.
6:56pm: accomplished a lot today. Met new friends with MS and new local business, Boulevard 34. Love this place and love these peeps!
Today I diffused "Serenity" by doterra. A mix of lavender, sweet marjoram and more. Love this mix! I also used Breathe under my nose and used a Lemon in my tea and hot water concoctions.
It's Ms
My muscles are a little spastic. Vision a bit tired. But I've heard a good, long productive day. It is possible to balance a busy life and MS but man do we need boundaries. As long as we have boundaries we are OK.
Spent a bit of the afternoon with Ms Daisy Duke from next door. Such a silly, sweet girl.
I tend to go for large dogs but life has been presenting small dogs lately. Ok. I'll take them!
3/26My doterra natural selections kit arrived today. Essential oils at their finest. With successful experiences in earlier trials I am adding these to my personal wellness program. I'm introducing myself to some special blends as well as continuing my education with the benefits of each essential oil. I've always been intrigued and now I've become the little sorceress up in the tree house providing secret options to heal this and that.
