Smells lead to Happiness!

  Never estimate the power of smell to make you happy. That bottle of perfume or cologne that you are saving for special occasions needs to be used every day. Remember that even perfumes have an expiry, with time, they lose their fragrance, it is much better to use it on a daily basis than to have to throw it away become it lost it fragrance.

Firstly, Just do a simple experiment to realize the importance of smell to make you feel happier, spend a

few moments near and sewage plant, or at any other source of the unpleasant smell, and then contrast this smell with a few minutes in a bakery. Which is a happier moment, where did you feel happier?  Pleasant smells create a feeling of well being and happiness.

Science has shown that there are a few smells that promote happiness some of these are

• Baking, the smell of bread or cake baking. It is believed that the aroma of vanilla in the cake baking in the oven enhances happiness

• Lavender, the smell associated with grandmothers, creates a sense of security and happiness

• Coffee, there is happiness in a simple cup of coffee

The Journal of Social Psychology has published scientific research that establishes the correlation between happiness and smell. So, their experiment indicated that pleasant aroma made people twenty-five percent happier. It is this happiness that is easy to garner.

Decide for yourself which smell makes you happier, is it vanilla or lemongrass or lavender? I have a simple trick that I can share with you, take an empty spray bottle, and fill it with water and a few drops of your favourite aroma oil, liberally spray this around your house. Use incense sticks, aroma oil burners and fill your home with pleasant smells that give you positive memories.
