When I get invited to attend exercise Boot Camps, I feel insecure and wonder if I will be able to keep up with the rest of the group. I get embarrassed if I lag behind during those military runs and rapid sprinting exercises. I can never keep up with those military push ups. Also, when I am called upon to do some public speaking, I worry and I yearn for more self-confidence. I use bergamot essential oil to help me feel more confident and less worried; and it works!
So, the next time your friends drag you to a boot camp or to a new class at the fitness center or gym, shrug off your worries with a whiff of fruity perfume. Most cirus-based fragrances contain a note of bergamot, a bitter Italian citrus fruit. Researchers at Italy’s University of Milan report that the aroma stimulates the brain’s emotion-governing limbic lobe and soothes the sympathetic nervous system to quell anxiety and promote a cheerful mood.
Note: Scents and fragranc ein the form of essential oils are stronger and will last longer. Bergamot
also comes in teas. In fact many breakfast teas and black teas are already infused with this delicious citrus fruit, which is what gives those teas the wonderful, exotic essence, which smells so good!
