Moving Forward with Confidence
7th September , 2006As we are getting to the time in the U.K. when the summer is drawing to an end and peoples energy becomes more focused on new beginnings and fresh challenges, I thought that it would be worth looking at the issue of Confidence.
Confidence in ourselves is part of what allows us to use and ground our creative and ‘doing’ energy, and to move forward in our lives with greater inner strength.
Life challenges of all sorts can offer us the chance to see what our defence mechanisms are and what issues we may have around self confidence that need addressing. How do you react to a life challenge or change? Some people might hang back a little and watch others go first, some make a lot of noise and exude bravado to cover a lack of inner confidence, while others might be there in body only, not feeling confident or safe enough to be there emotionally. There are lots of different reactions.
Looking within ourselves at the thoughts, feelings and emotions that underlie these defence mechanisms or reactions can often help us to face our challenges in a more balanced fashion. Allow yourself a safe and quiet space to feel how it is that you really feel within! It can be very liberating, and really free you up to move forward in a much stronger way.
“Real self confidence comes from within and comes from a centred place in your Heart.”
If you would like some help, the Confidence combination is a powerful essence which helps to release the underlying issues related to a lack of self confidence, allowing you to move along your path with greater inner confidence. Another essence that is often useful in this situation is the Inner Calm combination which helps to release and transmute fears.
You can find both these essences in the Combinations For Self Treatment range
From the Bach Flower Remedies, you might also find the Mimulus and Larch useful.
