9 Pictures of flowers to look at when you're stressed

In This Article:

We have so much technology in our lives, and so many industrialized cities and towns throughout the world that are just lacking nature. On top of that, I'm beginning to learn that the older I get the more responsibilities I have, the less free time I have to just stop and enjoy nature.

Life can be stressful sometimes, and one thing that helps me the most when I am stressed to admire these interesting plants. I have tons folders on my computer that are full of photos of flowers and I want to give everyone the opportunity to destress for a few minute and look at these flowery pictures.

I try to stop and take a picture every time I see plants or flowers no matter where I am or what I'm doing.

2.

Nine times out of ten, my phones screensaver is of some kind of plant or flower because it just makes me happy when I look at my phone.

3.

Tiny pineapple. Definitely not a flower.

Okay, so this one is not technically a flower, but it's still really cute right?!

To me it's just so cool to know that these things are so delicate yet so beautiful. They depend on an entire ecosystem to thrive correctly and it amazes me everyday.

Flowers can make any ordinary place or thing look ten times more inviting and comfortable.

6.

Succulent

Again, not quit a flower, but it still gets the point across. Plants in general are great way to bring comfort and happiness into your home and life.

7.

To be honest, I don't even know the names of half of these flowers, I just wanted to share how genuinely pretty they are.

Anytime you are sad just think about how nice these tulips look. I promise it will help!

On top of all of the stress relieving qualities that flowers have, they also make pretty nice backdrops when you want to take cute photos for your Instagram. That's always a plus.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these pictures as much as I do, and I hope that the next time you get the chance, you will stop and smell the flowers, AND send me some pics of them while you're at it!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
