Mindfulness Challenge: Week Five: Stopping to Smell the Roses

Handfuls upon handfuls of studies have been published citing research related to our sense of smell. In fact, it has been proven that not only is our sense of smell one of the fastest-reacting senses, but it is also significantly tied to our memories. This article helps to explain the whys and hows.

This week, allow your self to stop and notice smells around you and your reactions and responses to them. Whether you're out for an evening walk or eating lunch in a park, just notice. Practice being nonjudgmental and just notice.
