Fresh flowers to ease anxiety
Many people experience anxiety in their professional and personal lives. In many cases, work stress can impact you after hours and personal problems might affect your performance at work. There are a select few who might be able to separate their work and home life quite effectively but this is no easy task and we are all human after all. There are a number of ways in which we can relieve this sense of anxiety and stress. However, many people feel that they simply don’t have the time to meditate or practice yoga, for instance. Therefore, the most practical thing you can do is make a change to your environment. Fresh flowers can help you do just that and it will not affect your daily schedule.
Beautiful blooms
According to studies, fresh flowers are known to help encourage a positive emotional response and improve the mood of the recipient. Even if you are ordering flowers for yourself, you will still feel the calming effects of a bouquet strategically placed in your office or in the part of your home where you spend most of your waking hours. When ordering your bouquet, make sure that you take into account the amount of space you have available. If your workspace is limited, you may only be able to enjoy a small bouquet. If your living room is fairly large, you could opt for a larger bouquet. You could even place the bouquet in your living room, for example, and remove just a few stems to create a bud arrangement for your desk at work. This way, you get the best of both worlds!
Vase arrangements
When placing your order, make sure that you consider whether you will need a vase or not. You know what you have tucked away in your cupboards so you can include a vase with your order if needed. If you are sending fresh flowers to a friend or loved one, on the other hand, you might want to include a vase anyway since you may not know if they have a vase on hand.
Long-lasting gifts
If you are looking for a form of natural décor that will last longer than a couple of weeks, you might want to opt for a potted plant as opposed to a cut bouquet of fresh flowers. Some plants produce flowers while others remain green. Some help remove various toxins from the air and there are even those that help encourage peaceful sleep. Poor sleeping habits can lead to anxiety and increased stress levels. So, if you add the right plant to your bedroom, you can be sure that you will be better rested and you will feel that much more productive.
Fresh flowers and plants are a wonderful option if you want to treat yourself or send a gift to somebody special. Remember, different flower colours also have a different impact on the recipient. For example, bright colours can be energizing while pastels are more calming. The colour green is known to aid in concentration while yellow can give you a burst of energy.
