Stop and Smell the Roses

“Stop and smell the roses” may be a cliché, but new research suggests it’s sound advice for finding satisfaction in life.


Acknowledging the value and meaning of something—an event, a behavior, an object—and feeling positive emotional connection to it.” So go ahead and smell the roses. I find that many times people do not understand that the little things mean a lot. 

Often this means enjoying the wonders of nature – looking at stars in the night sky, feeling the wind blowing your hair, smelling flowers growing near a busy street.
But the flowers do not have to be roses.
While this expression relates to roses, it can be anything rather small or even commonplace. These things may seem small but they can give us great joy.

Maybe it could be the person who is struggling and today for a short moment they are not. That is a reason to be grateful and smile. You might think that none of these things are necessary and it only matters where you wind up. 
For some people this may be true, but if you find that for your health and peace of mind, it’s time to stop rushing and start noticing what’s urging you on and making you crazy in the process...

Stop. Breathe. Smell the Roses!
