Aromatherapy isn’t just for relaxing, though the right essential oil will help with that too. Aromas can help us focus, help prevent illness, concentrate, and even boost memory function.

Touching natural materials like a desk plant or flower petals reduce stress, blood pressure and heart rate. Even having a piece of wood nearby as a pseudo stress ball can make a difference.

Nature scenes with a mix of trees, water features, and grass or moss elements have positive effects on us. Take breaks from time to time, and spend some of it looking at a nature scene, whether it be real or just a picture.

Natural sounds like streams, birds, or rain can provide a relaxing background atmosphere while completing everyday tasks or working.
