It has been over a year since many of us started working or studying at home for the first time.
As a result, many companies are now planning to offer their employees the opportunity to work from home more regularly after the pandemic.
In addition, further remote jobs are in preparation, as our work landscape is changing in the long term.
Working at home has its downsides, of course – noisy neighbors, construction work, and children can be distracting – but the advantages are numerous.
One of them is the fact that those of us who are lucky enough to be able to personalize our office space however we want now.
Unlike in the office, we have more control over our surroundings: how it looks, how it’s lit (goodbye, evil overhead lights!), How it sounds – even how it smells!
Essential oils
A great way to make your workspace at home more peaceful and calm is by using essential oils.
While it may not be convenient to use a diffuser when you are in the office, you can certainly do so from the comfort of your home. So why not make the room your own?
Use of a diffuser
Stone diffusers are a great alternative to essential oil burners because they regularly release organic essential oils into your surroundings with the push of a button.
Many also have mood lighting and different settings to suit your preferences.
If you are thinking of investing in one, here are some energizing and mood boosting essential oils to try while working from home.
Lemongrass
Lemongrass is one of the most popular essential oils and has a cleansing and fresh citrus aroma.
It can help you clear and relax your mind as you work, leaving you feeling energized and empowered for any tasks ahead. Nice!
Rose geranium
Rose geranium is perfect for those who like a floral, sweet but refreshing natural scent. Uplifting and mood lifting, it’s a great addition to your home office.
This fragrance is guaranteed to improve your mood during work and bring you outdoors and on rosier days.
eucalyptus
For those of us who like to feel wide awake, eucalptus is an invigorating scent used in spas and therapy rooms around the world.
If you feel sleepy or sluggish at the start of your work day, this essential oil will help you feel revitalized and ready to take on the world.
peppermint
The incredibly fresh and bright peppermint essential oil is another product for those who want to feel more alert and focused. It also gives the skin a pleasant cooling feeling. Bonus!
Mix a few drops with a fragrance-free moisturizer or liquid soap in the morning to start your day feeling refreshed.
Wild orange
For those who prefer a more subtle, lighter scent, wild orange could be the essential oil for you.
This zesty essential oil is energetic and fresh, and will make your workdays feel (and smell) a lot sunnier and a lot brighter.
