Flowers….good for the soul!

Flowers are good for the soul! They’ve stood the test of time, across all cultures, proving that they’re something we need in our lives. That’s right – we need flowers!

Science has proven over and over that flowers make us happier and healthier. Something as simple as looking at a flower can boost your mood. The impact is immediate; that’s powerful! And yet the impact is also long lasting. Your mood will be better throughout the whole day and the memories can last a lifetime.

It’s really interesting to think about. Flowers are often seen as something for special occasions, but they have proven health benefits.  If you can actually improve someone’s mood with flowers, why aren’t they seen as a daily necessity?

When I delivered flowers for my floral business I saw this positive impact hundreds of times. Not once has anyone ever opened the door to me and frowned because they’re receiving flowers - everyone smiles!

Try this: Walk down a busy street as you normally would. Look at the faces of the people walking towards you. Most people will keep walking by, busy with their own thoughts. 

Now, walk down the street again, but this time carry a big colourful bouquet of fresh flowers. The difference is amazing! People’s faces light up! Just the sight of the flowers as you walk past makes them smile and brightens their day. The added magic - you’ll find yourself smiling, too. How could you not with all that happiness beaming your way!?

Adding flowers to your life doesn’t have to be a chore or be expensive. There’s a multitude of easy, affordable ways you can do it. As the weeks go by I’ll share idea after idea with you. You’ll find it’s much easier than you think to incorporate this healthy habit into your life. You’ll see - it won’t be long at all before you (and those around you) start benefiting from the restorative nature of flowers.
