Since starting my oily journey, I’ve become a huge fan of ‘protocols’ – or doing something for a specific reason. My favourite, general use, every day, posi-vibes protocol is simply called “Great Day”.

This great protocol only uses 4 oil blends. One comes in your Premium Starter Kit (Valor), two others you simply must prioritise (Joy for uh, Joy, and White Angelica for it’s phenomenal negativity-blocking capabilities). Obviously for this you’re going to need Harmony too, which stands alone as a blend too, but I will confess I used Highest Potential there for a while before I had it.

Either way, you need all these oils in your arsenal for their own benefits anyway!

And a quick word on these ’emotional blends’… if you’re like me, you originally got into essential oils for their true, tried and tested scientific capabilities, like some oils being antimicrobial, or antispasmodics, and these ’emotional oils’ were just pretty blends. But dang if they don’t do what the labels says! Now I know, through research and consultation that the specific oils in the blends are specially formulated to bring about the emotion or quality desired, but if at the very least it works because the action of you huffing the Joy bottle brings you Joy, then who cares why it works!

But I digress…

Back to our Great Day!

Start with Valor. As you remove the lid, inhale that amazing Blue Tansy driven blend, and put a drop on your wrist. Rub your wrists together like you would perfume, and bring up to your nose to inhale. Breathe in balance, courage and fortitude. Envisage yourself tackling your day with confidence and might. You’ve got this.

Next up is Joy. Again, as you remove the lid, inhale that hint of Rose oil, amoung the other florals, and loose a single drop over your heart, or heart chakra. You can gentle rub it in as you breathe in happiness, contentment, and well, joy! Your day is going to be filled with positivity and you will love it!

Now for Harmony! Place a drop over your navel/belly button/stomach chakra, after yep, you guessed it, inhaling it from the bottle as you remove the lid. This time you’re breathing in, well, Harmony, but peace and calm. Imagine your relationships and encounters today being positive and harmonious. Things are going to work out!

Finally, and I think, most importantly (I carry this oils with me solo, everywhere I go, not worth not having!), White Angelica. This one you’re going to drop and drop in one palm, then rub together and cup your hands, letting the warmth of your body gentle diffuse the oils. Take a breath from your cupped hands, and breathe in security and safety – nothing is going to get to you today. When you feel that security, reinforce it by brushing your oily palms from the hair on your head, down your body, over yourself, washing you down with that oily security blanket.

Honestly, I feel better having just written that all out!

The power of action, scent, visualisation, and affirmation together, cannot be overrated.

I tend to find myself using this on days where I expect confrontation, or discomfort, as a reminded that I am in my own power, I make my day great, or otherwise, and I’m responsible for my emotions. Those are the days I really take time.

And other days I quickly trip through it to reinforce what’s already expected to be a great day, and make me smell fantastic too!

Have you done this protocol before? What do you think? Or if you start it, swing back and let me know in the comments how it went for you.

And remember to have a Great Day!
