Wellbeing week

I was invited to run three workshops over the course of wellbeing week  at  an employer near me.  I was sandwiched between seminars on healthy eating, Pilates classes and massage sessions.  This enlightened employer has made an active decision to give staff time out to recharge their batteries, and set themselves up for continued high performance in their daily working lives.

I received some lovely feedback from Alice, Sophie and Hayley:

“Thank you for your workshop, I thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“My flowers look beautiful in the sunlight on my desk.”

“Thanks for yesterday, I really enjoyed it and it has really inspired me!”

What is wellbeing?

Wellbeing is commonly described as the state of being comfortable, healthy or happy.  In this vein the Live it Well campaign in Kent is all about taking small steps to wellbeing by connecting – giving – taking notice – learning – keeping  active and caring for the planet.  Joining a flower class is a great way to connect with like-minded people and keep learning.

Do flowers really make you happy?

Did you know that flowers can provide you with a simple way to improve your emotional health and wellbeing?

Research has shown that the presence of flowers has been found to have an immediate impact on happiness and have a long term positive effect on moods – with participants in a 10 month study in the US reporting that they felt less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction.
