Were you lonely on Valentine's Day?

Were you lonely on Valentine’s Day?

If so, it could be that in spite of your longing, you have your heart locked up. You are simply not letting love into your life. 

Emotional imbalances could be setting up barriers between you and the relationship you wish for.

You could be feeling inferior – as if you weren’t deserving of a sweetheart. Your friends or even a counselor could talk to you all day about your worth. They could give you exercises to build that self-worth. But as long as your energies are imbalanced, you’ll have a hard time accepting that yes, you ARE worth loving. 

Centuary and Gentian can both help you banish those feelings of inferiority. They can help you gain the confidence to speak to that person who interests you. It can give you the courage to perhaps flirt a little and let them know that you’re interested. It can give you the nerve to suggest meeting for coffee – or to say yes when they make the suggestion. 

Perhaps you’re simply unable to give up enough control to allow someone else into your life. You don’t want to "let go of the reins" and allow yourself to give in to your loving feelings. Somewhere along the line, you decided that it was safest to stifle your emotions – saving you from hurt. 

Thus, you present an aloof, detached front – discouraging others from approaching you in either love or friendship. And, since you don’t wish to show any behavior that you yourself view as “weak,” you don’t approach others. The result – you’re left feeling in control, but alone. 

Cherry Plum will help to rebalance your energies and allow you to let go and take the risk.

The reasons for being alone are many, and most of them are rooted in our own emotions. 

So visit FeelBach! and fill out the questionnaire. It will give you insight into yourself and you'll come away with the perfect formula to get your emotional life back on track.

Gain the courage to make a fresh start

Did you begin 2018 with a resolution to do something to better your life? 

Perhaps you want to start a new business – even if part-time. Perhaps you want to join new

organizations or end your association with people whose negativity brings you down. Perhaps you want to move to an entirely new community and start fresh with new acquaintances, activities, and friends.

But… you’re finding it difficult to make that leap into unfamiliar territory. It IS a bit scary!

Doctor Bach’s flower remedies can help. 

Gentian can help build your confidence and allow you to believe in yourself and your dreams.

Larch will also build your confidence. It is for people who don’t believe in their own abilities, even though they may be possessed with extraordinary abilities. Larch will remove your feelings of discouragement and low self-worth and fill you with a new sense of success and accomplishment.

Mimulus is the anti-fear flower essence. It may be just what you need to take that important first step toward accomplishing your dreams and goals. 

And, since change is inevitable, yet scary, when you undertake a new adventure, turn to Walnut. This flower essence will help you adjust and adapt to those changes. 

This IS a new year and a chance for a new beginning. Do it with confidence with some help from FeelBach! and Dr. Bach's formulas.  

We wish you success and a Happy New Year!

When a child REALLY doesn't want to go to school…

Some kids just don't enjoy school. They are bored by the subjects, sometimes because they don't challenge them, they don't enjoy the company of the other children, and they simply don't like the teacher. Or – they're the type who will in adulthood be found in a physical, outdoor job because they can't stand being stuck indoors.

But what about kids who once enjoyed school and now don't want to go back?

The problem could stem from some setback in class – perhaps an embarrassment over a mistake. I recall being a child and unable to correctly pronounce words in French. Other students made fun of me and I let their ridicule prevent me from speaking it at all – so I never learned even what little would have been learned in a 3^rd grade classroom. 

Children obviously do need to go to school – or have a parent who can stay home and provide home study. So how can you make it less painful for them?

Treat them with the flower essence Gentian.

Gentian is Dr. Bach's answer to skepticism, doubt, pessimism, and discouragement. It can help the child regain his optimism and his faith and confidence in being able to master his lessons – and to rise above the occasion when he does make a mistake.

After treatment, your child might realize that obstacles and mistakes are nothing more than opportunities to learn what you don't know – so you can increase your knowledge. 

When your "Energy tank" is on empty, turn to Dr. Bach's flowers

There's an old saying "My get up and go done got up and went." (Yes, grammatically incorrect, but no one can miss the idea it conveys.)

If you're facing life with energy at a low ebb, you know exactly what it means. You have things to do, but you'd rather not. You'd rather just sit down and do nothing.

There are medical conditions that lead to this kind of lethargy, so you should check with your doctor. If the doctor says there's nothing physically wrong, then you need to think about what is emotionally wrong.

Perhaps you've created a routine for yourself that has become a rut – and as the rut gets deeper, it's becoming harder and harder to get out. Your energies have become stuck and an energy deficit is dragging you down.

We get into these ruts sometimes because we’re afraid to reach out and try something new, or because circumstances have given us no choice. When there’s an important task at hand and we have to stick with it, or when we’ve been confined by an illness, we haven’t much opportunity to add variety to our lives.

This can happen to everyone for short periods of time, but when it becomes a habit and life becomes more of a chore than a joy, it's time to take action. The very real danger is in becoming more and more depressed – and in letting your negative feelings spill over to affect the people you love.
Fortunately, when you recognize yourself getting into this state, you can treat it with Dr. Bach's Essences and get your enthusiasm and love of life back.

Hornbeam is the Bach Remedy that treats the feeling of “living in a rut” and allows you to reach out to new experiences – and even to carry on the daily routine with new interest.
 
Gentian helps to overcome both depression and that “I don’t want to do this” state of mind.

Olive is the essence to get you over that feeling of being both mentally and physically "done in."

You deserve to look forward to each day of your life with joy... So visit FeelBach! today and get the Flower Essences you need to put your energies back in order.
