I use essential oils every day and in every way to support my health.

Smell goes straight to the oldest part of the brain, skipping the queue the other senses wait in. It is why a scent can put you in your grandmother's hallway before you have had time to think about it.

Which is what makes scent useful as a marker. One thing on your wrists in the morning and a different one at night, and the body starts reading the signal: this is where the day begins, this is where it stops.

Small rituals do work that willpower cannot. They do not argue with you. They mark the transition and let the rest follow.
