Light Up
No, not that kind of lighting up. We’re talking candles and incense. Fragrance is a powerful thing. A certain smell can bring back a memory, helping you see, hear and feel every detail from it. Sometimes a smell can upset you. So harness the power of smell to help you feel good in the morning. A study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that smelling citrus has been proven to elevate one’s mood. Anecdotally, other scents such as lavender, vanilla, jasmine and rosemary have also been said to improve your mood. While the effects might not last all day, the important thing is getting your day off on the right start and in the right headspace. So light a candle or incense with these scents first thing in the morning so you can enjoy the aroma while getting ready for your day.
