Your five senses can be a great way to soothe yourself when you're feeling distressed, anxious, depressed, angry, sad, or agitated. Focusing on a pleasant smell can distract you from your stressful situation and help you feel calm. Being mindful of the pleasant scents around you can help ground you even when you're not distressed.

Here are some smells that I find soothing:
My Calm Down essential oil roller from Mother Earth Aromatherapy
Coffee
Coconut body lotion
Frangipani
Roast chicken
Bath salts
​Vanilla candles

What smells do you enjoy? Find a way to carry it with you for when you feel distressed.
