Discover my favorite quotes for spring to inspire us now that March is here with more sun, endless flowers, and a better mood.
First of all, these are not just poetic commonplaces. Research has shown that we feel less distressed and more satisfied when we spend more time in the sun (Brigham Young University Sylvia Kämpfer & Michael Mutz, etc). And, how the climate and weather affect our feelings of well-being and happiness.
Moreover, researchers have shown the power of flowers. Both their sight and smell can change our brain chemistry and make us feel more positive. The fresh-cut flowers around the house make us feel less anxious. And, people had more innovative ideas and solutions to problems when flowers were nearby.
