They work,but only partly. That too in closed rooms. You are hardly likely to stay in the same room throughout your life.

Plants help improve emotional health
Plants also makes me feel good .All the time every time.
This thing is so bang on, that my hubby suggested we plant trees inside our flat .
He said it as a joke .But I took up the challenge. Though I don’t have trees I do have roughly 80/90 plants in my balcony jungle.
Workout options
Nature is also great for your physical health.A nature walk ,gardening all helps you get a good cardiovascular workout .Plus it’s fun .No monotony.Research also found walking surrounded by nature is more beneficial, than on the treadmill .
Plants make unique home decor
A home full of green plants is pleasant to see .It lifts the interiors, from mundane to wow in no time.
They remove VOC ,and other impurities from indoor air and makes it clean for you.
Plants have the good biophilic bacteria in them .These act as Probiotics for your skin and hair .When you are among plants these good bacteria settle down on the exposed body parts .They are good for your skin’s health .
Plants increase creativity and caring
Being around selfless living beings in nature, helps me understand the truth about life.My writers block disappears when I gaze at my balcony jungle.My low moods lift with a bit of pottering in the garden.
I wake up with a smile when I see my window box full of flowers in the morning.
Why are you thankful for nature ?

10 Things you should never say sorry for, is a list of my favourite beliefs.
It’s a week since we welcomed the new year.
Remember these 10 .For me they are nonnegotiable, for living well.
1) Sincerity
This characteristic makes you trustworthy .Any relationship, you need trust.So being sincere is a quality you should never apologize for.
2)For reading books
The treasure trove of knowledge. I owe my life and all that I know to books .Read ,read and then read some more. That’s my motto in life.Paperback,e-books ;magazines ,newspapers anything What’s more important that learning?
3)For doing your best
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.
I only do things I can invest time sincerely.
4)For being kind
A highly underrated quality .It’s also a difficult one.Online or offline I plan to really persist with this.
5)For being honest
This one is a tricky one.Modifiable according to situation. Balance this with caution .For mental peace is even more important.
6)For loving yourself. A lot.
Self love is important. Until you love yourself you can’t love others completely. Until you love yourself your soul doesn’t feel loved.
7)For wanting to be there for your kids.
This is a landmine .SAHM ,WAHM ,working moms all have boatload of guilt.
Whatever you are ,it doesn’t matter.God knows what you want.
8)For being happy .
Happy is the best .It’s the best multivitamin.It’s the best way to look and stay healthy.
Happy means you enjoy life. That’s important. Enjoyment.
9)For liking money
Money is a misunderstood commodity.It’s a means of bartering .If you like the good it does ,there’s really no harm.If you appreciate it ,its attracted to you .If you feel it’s not important, that’s not good .
10)For believing in God
We are because of a supreme power.Saying thank you to this power is a way of reinforcing your belief. Believing makes thing happen.
When I read about Romila’s contest, I knew which topic I wanted to write about.
“Gifts“, that’s what!
Christmas is about gifts.
Gifts you give .Gifts you receive.
When I think of gifts I have received, I feel blessed.
Since all gifts are ultimately God’s gifts, my first “thank you”, is towards the almighty who has given me so much, and continues to do so.
What you are is God’s gift to you, What you become is your gift to God.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
God has given me the gift of a beautiful family ,wonderful friends,good health,mental peace(somewhat struggling with this one) and the willingness to be a student for life .
The least I can do is say “Thank you”
Every problem is a gift.
Without it we wouldn’t grow
Anthony Robbins
Every other gift is a result of his gifts.
But I am a gift person through and through.
It may be a simple card, a surprise bouquet of flowers ,anything.
I love giving and receiving thoughtful gifts.
Thoughtfulness ,is what makes gifts special.
Gifts that I have loved ,include the surprise trip to Chalsa forest resort ,on my last birthday.
My hubby organized it perfectly and gave me the much-needed break.
This electric beater my sister gifted.Whisking eggs have never been this easy.My daughter loves my chocolate cakes and cookies.Baking them for her ,using healthy ingredients, makes me haunt Pinterest .
I love the look of delight on her face ,when she licks the home-made goodies from her fingers.
