This Moment is Different

Your brain likes what it knows. Even when what it knows isn't serving you. Most of the time, you're moving through your day on autopilot — responding to what's familiar, what's easy, what's already established.

Starting something new requires interrupting that. You need to arrive with intention. Pairing a scent with a practice helps. Light incense before you write. Roll on perfume before you stretch. The scent disrupts the pattern. It signals: what's about to happen deserves attention.

Ancient cultures understood this. Scent wasn't just about smelling good — it was a tool for marking moments worth showing up for.

If you're trying to move toward something new this year, give it a scent.
