The Power of Senses

Tips on How to Unwind After A stressful day

Yesterday I was talking to my buddy and he said something that really intrigued me and on that note, I decided to write an article about it. This is what he said:

"Lynne, for the last seven years I've never slept well"

You can imagine he is only 25. So I tried to imagine what about people who are in their 30s, 50s or even 70s? Probably they have not slept well half their life. I know once you turn legal, you have to start finding your way through life and these come with all sorts of pressure.

• Work
• Relationships
• Building a business
• Relatives 
• In-laws

The list is endless. I'm still trying to find my way through life and I will share tips with you on how I unwind after a stressful day.

Before I even share the tips.
Lets first look at how powerful our senses are:

Have you ever passed through a bakery and the aroma of the freshly baked bread makes you hungry you just want to eat them?
 passed through a place where they are burning something and the smokes you feel like you will have a headache or you.
Some cologne reminds you of someone?

Well, that's how powerful our sense of smell is. It is actually 10,000 times stronger than other senses.

That is why I love the Aroma Therapy Using Forever Living Essential Oils.

We all know essential oils smell good but they do much more. A Havard Study Showed greater recall when using essential oil since concentration was more. Another study performed on dental patients showed lower anxiety in those exposed to lavender.
