Being able to "smell the roses" means being able to celebrate the small things in life that are often ignored or taken for granted.
It can also mean taking the time to unplug, to relax, to be fully aware of the present moment.
Seen this way, "smelling the roses" can be considered a synonym for mindfulness, self-care, thoughtfulness.
Whatever the meaning that the figure of speech can have for each of us, we should not spend a single week without dedicating at least some time to all those tiny moments that can have a huge impact on the quality of our life.
This way or the other, it is even better if it means that, once in a while, we are able to take a break, close our eyes, and actually smell the roses, or other flowers you may like.
