Finally, Spring has Sprung (at least for those of us living above the ~49th parallel)! Time to switch over to your Spring/Summer wardrobe, dust of your bicycle, get outside and smell the flowers (no matter where you live).
Our sense of smell is one of the most important and powerful senses. Each time you inhale, the odors travel to the frontal part of the brain, the part that controls emotions. This can elicit memories that we have experienced, heighten emotions tied with that experience and create new memories each time we smell the same scent. Flowers are positive emotion-inducers!
The next time you feel overwhelmed in your journey to better health, walk to your local flower shop, stop and smell the roses!
