The Pursuit of Holistic Happiness
Since 2013, every March 20th, the world celebrates the International Day of Happiness, a date established by the UN at the initiative of the Kingdom of Bhutan. This small Asian country coined the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH), a philosophy that prioritizes integral well-being over material wealth.
This holistic approach underscores a fundamental truth: happiness is essential for health and well-being. At Verdiflora, we know that well-being is not a luxury, but a vital element that we can cultivate, especially through nature.
Flowers and Happiness Hormones
The purpose of celebrating this day is to raise awareness about the power of optimism. When we experience joy, our body releases a cocktail of neurochemicals (serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin) that strengthen the immune system and increase our energy.
What is the role of nature in this?
-
Instant Connection: A study has shown that the presence of flowers can cause an instant increase in feelings of happiness and life satisfaction.
-
Stress Relief: Sensory contact with natural elements, such as the aroma and visual perfection of a flower, acts as a powerful anchor against stress and negativity.
How to Commemorate Happiness Day?
To celebrate this day, no grand event is required; only an intentional act of well-being.
-
Connection with Nature: Make visible the universe of reasons you have to be happy. Take a walk that allows you to feel the scent of the earth and the harmony of natural elements.
-
Motivate Others: One of the simplest and most effective ways to be happy is to generate happiness in others. Sending flowers is the perfect way to give an instant dose of emotional well-being. A sincere gesture, whether a small bouquet or a lavish arrangement, is nature's prescription for joy.
The Sunflower: The Flower of Happiness par excellence
While all flowers evoke feelings of well-being, there is one in particular that is the perfect symbol of happiness: The Sunflower.
Its yellow petals capture and reflect sunlight, radiating optimism and unmistakable positive energy. The Sunflower not only adorns; it transforms the environment, providing a sense of joy and vigor to whoever enjoys it.
This March 20th, give your loved ones another reason to be happy. Visit the sunflower arrangements section at Verdiflora Florist and send an explosion of light to their home.
