Resolve

Ever have one of those mornings when you feel like taffy spread across your bed and nothing and no one is going to pull you off.  You’ve already hit the snooze button five times but haven’t summoned the gumption to get up and go. 

Do you get this intense inertia not just at the beginning of the day, but at the thought of starting any project -  like spring cleaning, doing your taxes, writing that term paper, starting your Christmas shopping?   You’re tired just thinking about the effort required to get it done.  It seems daunting and you’d rather do just about anything else so that you don’t have to deal.    The funny thing is that once you do start, you’re usually fine.  You will do what needs to be done.  It’s just making that initial effort, having that initial push. 

Well there is help for the little procrastinator in all of us.  Taking the flower essence Hornbeam can provide the mental strength and enthusiasm to tackle what we typically feel is a weary chore.  Imagine accomplishing your tasks with greater energy and interest rather than seeing them as a tiresome duty.  And you won’t need three cups of jo or cans of red bull to do it. 

So the next time you are consumed with that Monday morning feeling, take this essence and turn your green light on.  Trust me, you’ll be much happier when you get those two loads of laundry out of your room, clean your endless inbox and finally download your digital photos from last year.   Imagine all you can accomplish.

 


Courage

Have you been in this predicament?  You have five minutes before your presentation and public speaking is your worst nightmare.  Your heart is pounding so hard in your chest that you are almost positive it can be heard.  There is sweat running into areas you’d rather not say.  Somehow a golf ball has lodged itself in your throat and it seems like no amount of swallowing is bringing it down.  And let’s not mention your gut, there is some overzealous acrobatics going on in there and you can’t seem to stop it.  Or can you?

Lot’s of us are overcome by fear at some point in our lives.  Maybe it’s flying, going to the dentist, taking an exam, or being on an interview that turns you into a trembling pile of jello.  Or maybe it’s looking at a spider, a snake or visiting your mother-in-law.  Whatever it is, fear is very palpable and often times it keeps you from doing fun things you wish you could do, like going on a roller coaster ride with your kids or swimming in the ocean.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could summon the courage to do it or get through it?  What if I told you that taking the Bach Flower Mimulus, can help you overcome your nervousness around something you fear.  Imagine getting through what gives you angst.

So the next time you find yourself face to face with your greatest fear whether it’s heights, crowds or bats you could benefit greatly from using this essence.  It will give you the courage to handle whatever is shaking you up. 

Patience

We’ve all been there.  Our alarm failed to ring, and in our frantic haste to not be late, our coffee cup made it onto our shirt, we left our wallet in the other purse/pants and while driving anxiously we caused that unwanted fender bender.  It seems like the day just keeps getting progressively worse along with our mood and we wish we could start over, but this time from the right side of the bed. 

So what if we did start over.  What if when the alarm clock failed to ring, we walked through this mishap with patience and poise?   Most of us don’t realize that the mood we are in contributes to our experiences throughout the day.   Wouldn’t it be nice to squelch that frantic feeling of haste and irritation right from the start?  Often when we try doing things too quickly, and don’t have the patience is when we make mistakes or worse, we invite accidents.

What if I told you that taking two drops of a Bach Flower essence, IMPATIENS (interesting name) will allow you to be quick and active yet with patience and calm.   Rather than being royally pissed at your alarm clock and trying to break your speed record for leaving the house, you could make more reasonable decisions.  Possibly forgo the coffee until you were at the office, use the same bag you used yesterday, thus giving you more time to drive and avoid an accident.

Sometimes impatience is a person’s personality trait.  We all know those folks.  They’re the drivers that cut you off within inches of your car, the people who refuse to wait on line, the friends who finish your sentences, the bosses that want everything done yesterday. 

If you find yourself rushing through your life and being irritated that everyone else is so slow, you could benefit greatly from this flower essence.  It will allow you to breathe and give you the patience for the rest of the world to catch up and possibly prevent a few accidents along the way.
