Disrupt: Do You Smell That?

We are creatures of habit, especially in terms of our environment. Still, there are some beloved scents that transport us to another place or time.

It might be the smell of a particular food or flower. It might be the smell of a perfume or the pages of an old book. Whatever the scent or scents be that can transport you, I’d like you to schedule a date with them.

When you smell something that triggers memory, something that triggers delight even, you breathe more deeply. We try to experience it more fully by really slowing down inhalation and trying to hold in the feeling. Those deep breaths are the disruption of the day.

So get out there and breathe for pleasure’s sake.
