If winter is not your season, the short days and bone-chilling weather can lay heavy on your spirit. Fortunately a few comforting rituals can lift your heavy mood, and simple aromatherapy is one of them. Need peace after a long, dark day or the motivation to face winter mornings? Find the right incense scents to beat the winter blues below.
When temperatures drop and daylight fades early, it’s natural to feel sluggish or unmotivated. Aromatherapy is a simple yet powerful way to boost your mood using scent.
Certain aromas influence the limbic system, the part of your brain linked to emotions, relaxation, and memory. That’s why a single whiff of lavender can calm your nerves, or a burst of citrus smell can instantly energize you.
Incense is a cost-effective and flexible way to keep many aromas on-hand, ready to deploy for adjusting your mood during the dark months.
Winter can significantly impact your energy and mood, but with a few mindful adjustments, you can easily manage the colder months.
Intentionally burning incense and focusing on a positive mindset can transform your space into a sensory retreat, no matter what the weather is like outside. Uplifting and tropical scents can brighten the winter blues by adding hints of citrus and ocean-like scents creating a space that lifts your spirits.
Lack of sunlight is a major reason why winter feels heavy for many people. For a quick mood boost, open your curtains and spend time near the window. Get as much natural light as possible, even when the sun isn’t shining. Add warm-toned bulbs to your home and add proven light therapy lamps for a better mood all season long.
Getting exercise is a mood booster. But if the gym isn’t for you, gentle stretching, a brisk walk, or taking an online yoga class can help release some endorphins. Pairing lavender and Honeysuckle incense with gentle body movement can help complete a mind-body reset.
When spirits are low, it’s time for unapologetic self-care. Nestle under a warm blanket and do nothing if you need it. Or enjoy a cup of hot spiced tea. Make your space smell like a bakery with incense, and enjoy the small sensory pleasures that make a huge difference to your daily mood.
Connection feeds the soul. And in winter, the cold, harsh weather keeps everybody tucked away at home. Intentionally seek out connection and make plans with friends. Not all social time needs to perfectly planned, even inviting your best people over to do nothing can keep those vital social bonds strong through winter.
