Transform your Rest & Relaxation
Share
Getting a good and restful nights sleep is just as important as our diets and exercising, not to mention needing to have quality mental/physical rest and relaxation time. So why is it so hard to get all three of these important parts in our daily routines?
There are many contributing factors as to why a lot of people struggle to sleep or relax. Some of these factors include stress/anxiety, mental health issues, over stimulation throughout the day and negative moods, thoughts or feelings are just a few to name.
The good news is that there are simple things you can do to assist you in getting a better night's sleep and more quality rest and relaxation.
One simple way you can create a relaxing environment is through scent. Scent plays a vital role in our every day lives. It is linked to our memories, feelings, taste, productivity, time and place and influences our day to day decision making. This is all to do with 3 parts of our brains, the olfactory bulb, the amygdala and the hippocampus.
Scent can alleviate stress, help with focus and even help you sleep better, due to the signals that are sent to the part of our brain that controls memories & emotions, the limbic system.
Smell, memories and emotions are all connected which is why scent has the ability to promote and create calmness, positivity, tranquillity, happiness and relaxation.
