Welcome to the Country Proud Living Podcast, I am your host LoriLynn! Recently I placed lovely lilacs in vases throughout my home and it inspired me to look into the positive benefits of having flowers in your home. HAPPINESS is fresh flowers! "I must have flowers, always, and always."  Claude MonetA behavioral research study conducted by Nancy Etcoff, Ph.D., of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, reveals that people feel more compassionate toward others, have less worry and anxiety, and feel less depressed when fresh cut flowers are present in the home.1. Flowers feed compassion.2. Flowers chase away anxieties, worries and the blues at home.3. Living with flowers can provide a boost of energy, happiness and enthusiasm at work.Link:Harvard Study conducted on Behavioral Researchhttps://safnow.org/aboutflowers/quick-links/health-benefits-research/home ecology-of-flowers-studyLet me know if there is something you would like to learn more about in the color & design, nurture & empower space?
