Motivation
An energizing blend built around spruce and ylang ylang, intended to support focus and follow-through on goals.

In this blend
Bright, woodsy black spruce with a sweet ylang ylang floral note.
What it’s designed for
Motivation combines black spruce and ylang ylang with other supporting notes into a blend Young Living markets around goal-setting and follow-through — the kind of aroma meant to accompany focused work rather than winding down.
The oils in it
- Black spruce — gives the blend its woodsy, grounding backbone, similar in character to a walk through an evergreen forest.
- Ylang ylang — adds a rich, sweet floral note that keeps the blend from feeling purely utilitarian.
Aroma
Bright and woodsy up front from the spruce, with a warm, sweet floral undertone from ylang ylang — a combination meant to feel energizing rather than calming.
When and how people use it
3–5 drops in a diffuser at a desk during a work session, or as part of a morning planning routine before tackling a to-do list, is the classic use case. For a more direct, personal application, dilute before applying to the wrists or chest — some people prefer this over diffusing when they want the scent to travel with them through the day.
Pairs well with
Peppermint or citrus oils for an extra lift, or cedarwood if you want to lean the blend’s woodsy side even further.
