Motivate

This blend is made up of essential oils that are mood-lifting and inspiring. The aroma inspires the senses, allowing you to tear down the demotivating roadblocks that stand between you and your potential. Whether you need motivation to clean your room, start training for a race, or pick up your paintbrush again, this blend can help you dig in with courage and confidence, and replace a pessimistic outlook with optimism.


This blend is lovely to use in a diffuser, but you could also create a room spray or rub it into pulse points (inner elbows, behind the knees, or behind the ears). It's available in a convenient pre-diluted roller bottle if you don't want to dilute it yourself.


Motivate is one of six blends in doTERRA's Emotional Aromatherapy System.

Why Motivate?

When frustrations and setbacks arise, using Motivate can help you reset and stay resilient. Fresh, clean, and minty, this blend will support you in replacing pessimism and doubt with courage and composure!


Motivate is formulated from thirteen individual, powerful essential oils. Let's look at what properties some of those individual oils bring to the blend.

  • Peppermint promotes clear breathing. Its main chemical component is menthol. Peppermint’s strong scent is distinct, refreshing, and soothing.
  • Clementine is a natural hybrid of mandarin and sweet orange. Citrus essential oils are uplifting and energizing to the mood, and Clementine is especially sweet smelling and zesty among citrus oils.
  • Coriander offers a variety of benefits, but doTERRA Motivate blend includes Coriander primarily for its aromatic effect. Coriander’s sweet, herbaceous scent is simultaneously relaxing and stimulating. It is included in many of doTERRA’s blends to add a fresh, herbal touch.
  • Basil promotes focus and stress-relief when diffused. Its aroma is valued for its powerful properties. Basil helps ease feelings of tension and can reduce mental fatigue.
  • Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit. Yuzu’s tart, sharp scent is uplifting and refreshing.
  • Melissa is not a citrus oil, yet it carries a sweet, fresh, lemon-y scent that led to it being known as “lemon balm.” Melissa is often used to calm feelings of nervousness because of its positive effect on mood.
  • Rosemary is known for its culinary uses, but it also offers many benefits. It is included in this encouraging blend for its aromatherapy applications—Rosemary’s scent can be both energizing and settling.
  • Vanilla Bean Extract is vanilla in its purest and most concentrated form. Vanilla helps ease tension and relaxes nerves, helping you to feel happier and more content.
How to Make Motivate Blend
Part of Your Daily Routine

To use Motivate in a large room or area of your home, diffuse 4–5 drops in the diffuser of your choice. For a smaller room or area, reduce the number of drops accordingly. Need some other ways to diffuse? You can place a few drops of Motivate on a cotton ball and put it in or on an air vent. The motivating aroma of this blend will swiftly permeate throughout your home (this works in the car as well!).

For a natural room spray, use 1-2 drops of Motivate per ounce of water in a spray bottle. This simple spray is perfect for scenting a room, and leaves that gorgeous, uplifting aroma behind.
