Scent Shift Part 3 - The Smell of Success - Creating Habits with Scent

This week marks the third and final part of Karen’s mini series on her scent shift programme. This time of year we all make promises to ourselves about how the next twelve months will be different but, as we all know, these promises never last. The reason they never last is that we always fail to create new habits, which are the key to lasting change. Karen is here to help. In this episode, she explains how to use scent to form and sustain positive habits so that 2025 can be the year of change for you in more ways than one.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Having a positive mindset is great, as is acting on positive emotions, but real change comes about when we change our habits. Karen outlines why and how habits are the key to improvement.
Karen breaks down the science of habits, how we form them and how we stick to them, and explains how scent can accelerate and enhance this process.
Karen explains the practical steps you need to take in order to link a habit to a scent.
Just in case you’re struggling for inspiration, Karen gives you some examples of scents and the habits that they could be linked to.

BEST MOMENTS

“By linking a specific scent to a specific habit we create a natural cue that helps us move from intention into action.”

“Your brain automatically creates neurological shortcuts based on the scents in your life.”

“Scent can help you transform your habits from a chore into a natural part of your daily life.”
