Nudging: Stop and smell the roses

I think the key word in this nudge is “Stop.” Get off the crazy treadmill, break out of an unhealthy routine, notice, breathe.

It’s also intended as a treat for my sense of smell, so I hope to be more aware of this as the week progresses. Maybe instead of roses, I’ll stop to smell my morning cappuccino, or freshly roasted veggies, or wet dog (a scent that strangely makes me very happy, even when it accompanies muddy paw prints across the floor), or whatever is in the air that hints at the season.

Please share in Comments what inspires you to stop and breathe this week.
