In case you didn’t know, I’ve just moved my life.
Am I having fun yet?
I know I should be on board with Norman Vincent Peale and respond cheerfully, “Yes, of course I’m having fun!” But honestly? Let me get back to you on that.
“When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.” Rodney Dangerfield
Meanwhile, I promised more tips to ease the pain of moving and this time, I’m literally talking about the pain. Here goes.
PanAway® to the Rescue #1
Woke restlessly in the middle of the night with house in all kinds of turmoil. Stumbled in the dark into the hallway and tripped over a box full of books. Hard covers. Of course. Stubbed my toe, threw out my arm to try and grab hold of something to stop myself falling and smacked it into the wall. Managed to stay upright. Found my bottle of Young Living PanAway®. Half asleep, shook a few drops directly onto my toe with a cursory rub, another few onto my arm with another cursory rub. Went back to bed, fell asleep and woke up without a twinge. (If you haven’t used PanAway before, as with all of the oils, test for skin sensitivity first in case you need to dilute it with a good quality vegetable oil like V-6 Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex. In my case, I don’t — and from my experience so far, feet can take most oils neat.)
PanAway® to the Rescue #2
Dropped a bookcase on my foot the very next day. (Same foot.) Fully awake, shook a few drops of PanAway® directly onto my foot with a less cursory rub. This time, stopped long enough to give it a bit of a massage. Still a bit tender during the day and required a few more applications, but by bedtime, was just about sorted.
PanAway® to the Rescue #3
Shoulders, lower back and knees all feeling worse for wear after much bending and lifting. Found that anything resembling a convenient bottle for mixing up some massage oil was packed away. Put a few drops or so of PanAway® into a bowl, added some V-6 and massaged the diluted blend into all my sore spots. Headed off to bed after ensuring no boxes were lying in wait in the hallway. Slept like a log.
For something easy to toss into a bag or pocket, Deep Relief Roll-On includes the same essential oils as PanAway® with some extras, ready-diluted with coconut oil. And at a pinch, a blend of lavender and peppermint is a simple solution that still works a treat.
PanAway®, lavender and peppermint essential oils all come in the Everyday Oils Essential Oil Collection — if you’re just starting, this kit has a core range of essential oils for everyday living in 5mL bottles. It’s a fantastic way to get started with The Good Oil Daily. (Click here for help with ordering.)
Whether moving house or just moving through life, you’ll find these oils coming to the rescue often when you have them on hand. As for me, right now I’m still in the unpacking phase, so yes — there’s at least one more moving tip coming!
Enjoy the good oil daily.
