Keep you relationships strong with help from Bach™ Original Flower Remedies
Without friends, life would be dull. But friendships are not always easy, especially when experts suggest the optimum number to juggle is 150[1]! Fitting work around family commitments means there is little time left to devote to nurturing even our closest ‘inner circle’ friendships. But neglect your friends at your peril; research shows women who have close friends are more likely to be healthier[2] and having pals can even help us to live longer[3]!
Here are some tips on how to strengthen your friendships using Bach™ Original Flower Remedies:
Hiding how you feel?
If you are a private person who tends to shut off from your friends, Bach Original Flower Remedy Water Violet can help you to open up, paving the way for good relationships. Or maybe you are the life and soul of the party who hides how they are really feeling behind a big smile. Try Bach Original Flower Remedy Agrimony to help you to drop the façade and let your mates know how you are really feeling.
Bossy boots?
Often within friendship groups there are one or two dominant characters who find themselves making decisions on behalf of the group. If you find it hard to say no and can be easily influenced by dominant friends, try Bach Original Flower Remedy Centaury. It can help you balance your own needs with those of your friends. If you are the decision maker, Bach Original Flower Remedy Vine can help you to keep the group on track without becoming a tyrant.
Intolerant?
If you tend to feel overly critical of your friends, Bach Original Flower Remedy Beech can help you to accept the way they are, enabling you to be more compassionate to their needs. If your friends are causing you frustration because they can’t keep up with your pace, try Bach Original Flower Remedy Impatiens to help you foster patience and tolerance.
Worry wort?
If you are constantly worrying about your friends’ wellbeing, Bach Original Flower Remedy Red Chestnut will give you a sense of perspective, allowing you to support them without feeling anxious. Or perhaps you have moved or changed jobs and are worrying about making new friends. Bach Original Flower Remedy Mimulus can help to calm your fears and make the best impression.
Clash of ideas?
Often friends have different ideas of how to do things and it can be tough to keep a lid on our own feelings. If your enthusiasm for certain methods are stopping you from considering other techniques try Bach Original Flower Remedy Vervain to help you to relax and accept new ideas.
