If we fill our time taking care of plants we
can get rid of stress, it is a scientifically proved thing. Taking care of our
green friends (the ones with leaves not Martians!) we will discover new hidden
sides of our personality and will get to know better how to love and care for
others, firstly because a plant that we won’t care for will die for sure.
Accepting a plant we are assuming a new
responsibility, we are adopting a breathing being. This way, we learn just what
it means to pay attention to those around you.
We have to concentrate over needs that are
exterior to our ego. We become aware of the needs of another being: we know how
much water the plant needs, how much light it gets, the intervals it needs to
receive water again, and slowly we will transfer these cares and abilities in
our social relations. We become more and more aware of others. Visual contact
with a beautiful plant makes us realize our own beauty.
Studies show more and more that taking care
of plants can be the most efficient method to improve the physical and
emotional general condition. They have a serene effect, they can reduce stress
and relax muscles and therefore improve the mood people taking care of them are
in.
Different studies have demonstrated that the
existence of plants reduce mental exhaustion. When we are overwhelmed with
work, we just have to look up for a couple of minutes to a plant and we’ll
instantly feel more relaxed. In conclusion, plants fascinate and attract
people, they break boredom and monotony generated by forced attention. The
oxygen generated by plants creates a feeling of mental agility.
Some big plants placed on the right spot will help us insolate ourselves from annoying surrounding noises. The technique is the same as the one of hanging paintings in an empty room to minimize the echo effects. The thick leaves will absorb a part of the noises, including the sound of the phone, Xerox, printer or coffee maker, making these sounds a little bit friendlier.
