4 Scents That Can Make You Happier
“I want the smell of coffee. To hold on, to stand on my feet. How do I smell the coffee in my cells” Mahmoud Darwish said.
Coffee may be a source of wakefulness & motivation for most people. Drinking coffee makes them more convinced that they will be able to improve their performance at work. The scent of coffee appears to boost our minds as it seems to create a placebo effect!
In fact, drinking coffee greatly affects brain functions, as it would increase the alertness of the brain, clear thinking, enhance memory, and reduce your feeling of stress and anxiety, but how could the smell of coffee give a brain boost?
Our response to smells is linked to emotional centers in the brain as well as to previous experiences, which give signals that affect our functional or mood states. For example, the smell of lavender can help you to feel more relaxed and calm, the smell of peppermint relaxes the breath as it expands the airway. Scents can trigger feelings and memories so there is no wonder the smell of coffee actually increases the energy.
By wearing a fragrance you are finding an effective way to improve your mood and boost behavior. The responsible here are hormones and chemical neurotransmitters that influence our feelings and actions.
