Imagine you’re having a horrible day, or at the very least a very busy day. Your boss is throwing more and more work at you, the information you need to complete these tasks isn’t available, and you have a headache. Suddenly, there’s a knock on your door. It’s a local florist with a huge bouquet of bright, cheery flowers just for you! You feel your stress evaporate as you inhale the fresh scent of the flowers and bask in the feelings of love you get from reading the card. Getting flowers can really make people happy.
Why is this so? Well, some scientists have actually researched this phenomenon and determined that there’s something about getting flowers that releases endorphins that make us feel happy. Those who get flowers feel less agitated and lonely for days, plus their immediate mood changes.
Even without this scientific study, it’s easy to see that flowers make people smile. Getting flowers for any reason—a promotion, a new baby, an anniversary, or just because—will bring a smile to anyone’s face. Decorating your home with fresh flowers makes it inviting, and your guests are sure to enjoy the colors and scents that flowers bring into your home.
Next time you know a friend or family member is feeling down, send them a nice arrangement of flowers. You’ll not only brighten their day, but you’ll also strengthen your relationship with them and make them happy for days. Every time they see the flowers, they’ll think of you and smile.
