It’s easy to get caught up in the latest fitness fad or movement trends, but i challenge you to simply MOVE your body for 20 minutes per day. What do you enjoy? Bike riding? Yoga? Lifting weights? Taking your dog for a walk? Whatever it is, start there and then use these 3 easy ways to incorporate that physical movement into your daily routine.

#2 Make Use of Break Time or Lunchtime At Work
Use the time you have during periodic breaks throughout your work day or on your lunch break to go for a walk or incorporate simple movements int your day. Something as simple a a walk or a few light stretches will do wonders for both your body & your mind.
#3 Use Negative or Stale Energy As a Reminder to Get Moving
When you find yourself with negative or stale energy throughout the day, use this as a reminder to get your body moving and work out those negative emotions through simple movements. Moving your body can be the boost you need, because movement helps to transfer that stale energy and frustration to positive energy and release it.
REMEMBER: If you’re new to daily movement, simply start with walking! Begin fueling your body from a place of gratitude & you will begin to create a sense of vibrancy you’ll never want to lose!

This week’s featured essential oil: Deep Blue
**Whether you work out a few times a week or practically live at the gym, Deep Blue Rub is definitely a product you want to keep in your gym bag. The soothing elements of this cooling lotion are just what you need post-workout. Heavy lifting, intense running, or arduous workouts can leave the body with some discomfort in the hours and even days after exercise. But with Deep Blue Rub on hand, you can soothe any trouble spots while simultaneously moisturizing the skin.
Take a look at the Deep Blue® line, and chances are you might be surprised by the number of ways that this blend is offered. So, which one do you need in this moment? Learn more by reading what each product is made for below:
Two Basic Options
Two choices in the Deep Blue line that have been popular from the beginning are the original oil blend, the Deep Blue Soothing Blend, and Deep Blue® Rub. While both are meant for soothing the body, each has a different appeal.
Deep Blue: The Original Blend
The 5 mL bottle of Deep Blue Soothing Blend contains quite a few essential oils. These include Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus oils.
This is your best option when you want a more intense way to soothe tired muscles after exercise or a long day. It is a useful part of the AromaTouch® Technique because of its immediate tingling and warming effect on the skin. We recommend using it for more intense soothing of the body than any other version. We also recommend diluting it with Fractionated Coconut Oil to your level of comfort. If you would prefer to keep the blend off your hands, you also have the option to purchase it in a 10 mL roll-on.
Deep Blue Rub: The Athlete and Massage Therapist’s Friend
A long-time doTERRA favorite, Deep Blue Rub contains all the oils found in Deep Blue with the addition of Eucalyptus leaf oil and other moisturizing ingredients. It delivers the oils in a rich topical cream with the added benefit of being moisturizing. Like the blend itself, putting Deep Blue Rub on your skin will give you a comforting sensation that is both cooling and warming.
If you already love the blend, the rub is an excellent way to utilize it. The cream gives you the ability to cover a larger area in a way just as powerful, but a little less strong than Deep Blue oil on its own. If you do want a more intensive treatment, you are welcome to apply the Soothing Blend to your skin first, and then layer the Deep Blue Rub over the top of the area. It is also available in sample form for traveling, or a 32 ounce pump version convenient for massages.
Other Products
If you have sensitive skin or children, the doTERRA Deep Blue® Touch is a roll-on diluted with Fractionated Coconut Oil for safe and easy application.
For the internal benefits of the Deep Blue line, look no further than the Deep Blue Polyphenol Complex. While you can’t take the Deep Blue oil blend internally, the complex gets its name from the benefits it brings that are similar to the essential oil blend.
