6 Shortcuts for a Stress-Free Summer

Bon Voyage

Trigger: When you’re washing your hair after a day at the pool

Tool: Pour the shampoo in your hand and sniff the aroma. Close your eyes and inhale deeply. As you lather your hair, imagine yourself in a wonderfully pleasant faraway place. Maybe the fushion orchid and coconut milk will inspire a fantasy trip to the tropics. Or the ocean’s breeze will have you sailing on the high seas. Concentrate on the fragrance and let the experience take you away.

Purpose: Directing your attention to a pleasant fragrance calms your stressful thoughts and transports you to another place. Let your imagination match the smell and take you on a mini-vacation. With this aromatherapy, you’ll emerge from the shower peacefully restored and refreshed.
