Make Flowers a Daily Habit

“I must have flowers, always, and always.” Claude Monet

Science has proven over and over again that flowers make us happier and healthier. They lift our spirits both immediately and long-term.

In the past few years I’ve learned a lot about the power flowers have on our well-being. They boost our mood, decrease our anxiety, improve our sleep, brighten our environment, increase our productivity and strengthen our memory. And the best part is, it’s doesn’t require a lot of effort or a big budget to reap the benefits flowers offer. A few stems from the garden, a small arrangement from your local florist or a quick grab-and-go bouquet from the grocery store – all will work their magic on you.

Flowers mean different things to us at different times in our lives. Whether for birthdays, weddings, promotions, sickness or in sympathy, flowers are there with us to celebrate the good times and comfort us during the sad times. Let’s learn from those memorable moments in life and start to include flowers as a natural way of improving the quality of our daily lives. 

Having fresh flowers around you every day is a small step you can take to create a positive and uplifiting environment for yourself, and those around you. May you always have flowers in your life.
