Don’t want to have another cup after lunch, but need to power through a tough assignment? Get into the break room and inhale that magical scent. Even if you just smell coffee, see it or hear the sounds of it being made, your focus is narrowed, your alertness, heart rate and energy are increased. Smelling coffee triggers the chemical receptors in our body enough to have the same sensations as drinking it! Even if you have a cup of decaf because you don’t want the jitters, you can still benefit from the effects of just the aroma. You’ll need to hide the fact that your whiffing coffee to get the buzz, so be discreet. Otherwise, co-workers may wonder what you’re up to!
