Sense of Smell

One great way to reduce some of the stress in your life is by your sense of smell. Research has shown that when we enjoy a pleasant smell then our body is in a more relaxed state. Good smells trigger brain activity and releases good feelings. Certain smells can bring back good memories which also leads to satisfying nostalgic feelings.

It's interesting how the brain works! Smells are a good way to trigger fun, happy, relaxing, and stress relieving times. I'm sure the term aroma therapy rings a bell? It's an authentic way of treating the mind and body. Our sense of smell is given to us for a reason. Let's take full advantage of it and enjoy what we are blessed with. There are powerful scents that can do different things for the body and trigger different responses. I recommend looking into it. Here is a great website for the uses of the different scents:

This is probably one of the easiest things we can control in our environment. We can choose what it is we want to smell. We can choose what we smell like, what our house smells like, what our car smells like, or even our office at work. Start by making a few changes in the places we can control. I love burning candles and incense. They smell great and they really set the atmosphere, which is what relaxes our minds and bodies. I also love perfume. I just bought a new perfume recently, and it smells so good! I've been wearing it for three days straight now. It just smells so lovely and it puts me in a good mood because I feel lovely wearing it. I smell it and I feel fresh, pretty and luxurious. It just puts me in a great positive mood. And anything that can bring your spirits up is a good thing! When we are in a good positive mood then we are attracting more positive things into our lives due to the Law of Attraction. Stress release is the key.

So take some time out and think about what kind of scents you really enjoy. Which ones put you in a good mood? And which ones calm and relax you? These are the smells you should be enjoying regularly to boost your energies. Enjoy your senses and relieve the stress from your life. It's fun, enjoyable, and good for your mental health. The sense of smell, what a wonderful thing.
