subject: Small Indulgences Revitalize The Five Senses [print this page] Indulgences in things that are not common can provide a temporary means of escape from the mundane day-to-day activities of life. By allowing yourself a small indulgence every now and then you are able to refresh your senses and revitalize your mind so that you can be more productive and more alert in your daily activities.
For the most part people at work do the same thing every day, day-in and day-out for years. The regular routines turn into ruts and people become zombie-like shells that drudge through their lives wondering how they ended up in such a monotonous routine. It is the unusual and the unexpected surprises in life that shake people out of their waking comas and help them to gain a fresh perspective on the world around them. It has been said that people should stop and smell the roses every once in a while by breaking their normal routines and indulging their senses in something out of the ordinary.
For the people that work behind the counters of a cookie franchise the life they spend baking and selling tasty indulgences are not routine. Each day these people have the opportunity to use each of their five senses in the preparation of the tantalizing products that they sell. While the majority of people use only one or two of their senses throughout the workday the owners and employees of a cookie franchise engage each of their senses in the sights, sounds, smells, touching and tasting of the fresh baked cookies that are made in the on-site ovens and kitchens of the cookie retailers.
Alert and awake through the constant use of their five senses the cookie franchise employees are privy to the extraordinary effects that transpire before them as the zombie workers break free from their mundane routines to indulge in an eye-opening and heart-warming tasty and delicious home baked treat from the cookie franchise. As each of the senses becomes reawakened by the smells and mouth-watering tastes of the cookie in their hand the simple indulgence of leaving the office during a lunch break and picking up a delicious treat is enough to revive the drones of the workforce and give them a momentary escape that snaps them back into a state of presence where they notice every detail and feel the revitalization of their sense through the single act of enjoying a cookie.
While it may seem like such a harmless act, the people that work for the cookie franchise are aware that they are providing a well-deserved and welcome indulgence to people that are in need of having their senses aroused by the sights, sounds, smell, touch and taste of delicious break from reality.
