Flowers and Their Positive Vibes

 

London FloristIf you have ever found yourself having a bad day but been cheered up by the sight or smell of a beautiful flower, you are not alone. Flowers have an incredible ability to bring joy and happiness into our lives, and scientific research has shown that flowers can have numerous benefits to our well-being. We don’t fully understand why or how they help, but we know they do. So if you or someone you know is having a bad time, then getting flowers delivered could be the best thing you can do to help. A flower delivery could lead to many benefits, and we think there is no bad time to send flowers by post. But in terms of wellbeing here are just a few reasons they are a great gift.

 

They smell nice - it is no secret that scents can change our mood. Just compare how you feel after emptying the bin, compared to smelling a freshly mowed lawn. Aromatherapists and florists have long known about the power of scent, it is why it is used in complementary medicine and why florists work so hard to create pleasant smelling bouquets. Having a beautiful, relaxing scent to inhale is good for the soul, so next time you see a flower, but sure to take a whiff.

 

Look nice - in addition to smelling nice, flowers also look beautiful and there is something very relaxing and soothing about watching flowers. If you can enjoy flowers out in nature then that is certainly the best option, but as most of us don’t live near meadows, having flowers delivered to our home and put on display is a great alternative. If ordering for yourself, be sure to choose flowers that you enjoy looking at, as they are sure to cheer you up at a glance.

 

Connect to nature - one of the best things about flowers is that they are a natural resource and they remind us of the beautiful world we live in. Again, many of us don’t get outside into nature as much as we’d like, so having a connection to the outdoors from within our home is a great option. And being around nature has been proven to help with stress, depression and anxiety, so keeping plants or flowers around is a great idea.

 

Good for mindfulness - anything that requires our attention is good for mindfulness, which, in turn, is good for our stress levels. And looking after flowers certainly requires our attention, especially if you choose a particularly fussy flower such as an orchid or succulents. These need a lot of attention and can help keep us in the present moment instead of worrying about things in the past or that haven’t happened yet. Even watering plants is a brilliant form of meditation, so next time you get the watering can out, really focus on what you are doing and enjoy the moment.

 

Flower Shop in LondonClean air - flowers are natural air purifiers. They suck the bad stuff out and breathe fresh oxygen into your home. Some plants are better for air purification than others, so it is worth talking to a florist for specific advice but any flower or plant will help to some degree.

 

Concentration - research has shown that having plants and flowers around actually improves your concentration. They don’t fully understand why, but the results speak for themselves. If you work from home or are studying for something, then adding a few flowers to the mix might give you the boost you need to perform at your best.

 

Recovery - studies have also shown that having plants and flowers around can aid in recovery after illness. So whether it is a big operation or the sniffles, why not get some flowers delivered and make your recovery that much quicker and more enjoyable.
