The New Year always feels like a fresh start to me. Instead of traditional resolutions, I focus on small, meaningful changes and incorporate essential oils for energy and motivation to set a positive tone for the year.
For New Year’s Eve, my son suggested we try something new. I loved his idea and the feeling that came with the activity. We each wrote down something that we wanted to let go of from the previous year.
On another slip of paper, we wrote something new that we wanted to bring into the New Year. At midnight we burned the slips of paper with the things we wanted to let go of. We each kept our slips of paper with the something new we wanted to create to carry with us into the new year.
Trying new things and letting go of things that no longer serve us, can be hard.
I lean on aromatherapy to help me as I enter the fresh start of a new year. In particular, I use essential oils for energy and motivation. I also like to incorporate essential oils that give me courage and fortitude.
Essential Oils for Positive Energy
Let’s dig into what essential oils are good for energy and focus and how they can impact our emotional health. Discover the benefits of these powerful tools for promoting positivity and stamina.
Top Essential Oils for Energy and Motivation
1. Sweet Orange essential oil: Aroma profile is fresh, sweet, and fruity
All citrus essential oils are bright and cheerful and have an uplifting effect on mood and energy levels. I am especially partial to Sweet Orange essential oil. It can help to unblock stagnant energy.
Have you ever noticed how a sunny day can impact your mood? Especially if you live in a state (like Michigan) that tends to have a lot of cloudy and gray days. When the sun does make an appearance, your energy level and your state of mind get brighter.
The aroma of Sweet Orange essential oil has that same effect. It's like opening a bottle of sunshine! This is one of the best essential oils for positive energy and can help unblock stagnant emotions, giving you a cheerful boost.
2. Grapefruit essential oil: Aroma profile is warm, sweet, and fresh citrus
Grapefruit essential oil is another energizing choice and one of the top essential oils for productivity. Its happy, outward energy uplifts the mind and emotions, making it perfect for tasks that require focus and motivation.
Grapefruit has an uplifting effect on the mind and emotions. One of its most prominent chemical components, d-limonene, has stress-reducing actions. It is a wonderful oil to use when you have a task on your to-do list outside of your comfort zone.
3. Siberian Fir essential oil: Aroma profile is coniferous, woody, clean and crisp
Siberian Fir essential oil is one of the best essential oils for energy and perseverance. Its refreshing piney scent promotes feelings of strength and alertness, helping you push through challenging moments.
The trees that make this oil are majestic and tall. They have the strength to grow and thrive in the cold mountains of Siberia. The piney, fresh, and sweet aroma helps to promote feelings of alertness.
4. Eucalyptus essential oil: Aroma profile is strong, woody, camphory
Eucalyptus essential oil is among the best essential oils for energy and focus. Its fresh, invigorating aroma clears the mind, enhances concentration, and revitalizes your senses.
Be aware that there are several varieties of eucalyptus oils. Some are not recommended for young children.
5. Lemon essential oil: Aroma profile is light, clean, fresh, citrus
Lemon essential oil is a bright and cheerful addition to your collection. As one of the most effective essential oils for fatigue relief. It reduces stress while improving mental clarity and focus.
Like most citrus, the method used to extract the essential oil from the rind is a cold press process. Think about when you slice into a lemon or zest the rind. That amazing fresh scent is exactly what you get in a bottle of lemon essential oil.
Limonene and citral, two chemical components found in lemon essential oil, can decrease physical and psychological stress.
These are a few essential oils for energy and happiness that can help motivate you into trying new things this year.
Essential Oil Blends for Energy, Motivation, and Perseverance
I have created specific essential oil blends for energy and motivation that cater to both children and adults. These blends are perfect for enhancing positivity, focus, and perseverance.
I also have various aromatherapy and sensory tools so you can enjoy and reap the benefits of essential oils for energy and focus.

Due to the properties of the essential oils used in these blends and their salty (and humorous) names, we recommend these blends for adults. (Or at least 10 years and older)
Getting Shit Done Essential Oil Blend

Another great essential oil blend for positive energy, motivation, and self-confidence is Carpe F#cking Diem. The combination of oils helps to increase concentration, encourage creativity, and promote productivity- Thyme

Essential oil rollerballs are great to use when you want a slower and more long-lasting outcome on your mood. A rollerball introduces the oils deeper into your tissue and bloodstream. You are getting a slower, more continuous absorption of the essential oil properties.
