The New Year often finds us looking to make small changes in our lives that will refresh and revive us in our work, health and relationships. The floral experts at Moravian Florist have discovered that flowers can often motivate us in all of these areas. Here's how:
Flowers boost creativity. Studies show that surrounding yourself with your favorite color will have a positive effect on your level of creativity. Place blooms in your favorite hues near your desk or work space to bring a flower of creative energy to what you do.
Flowers lower stress. The natural foliage that accompanies most floral arrangements is full of calming, stress-reducing energy. Add a bouquet of flowers to your most stressful environment to reduce stress levels for a calmer workday.
Flowers inspire compassion. Caring for another living thing is all about compassion, empathy and concern for others- all of which are also essential to any relationship! Help yourself become others-focused when you care for plants and flowers. Read More about Motivated in the New Year »
