Having a healthy sense
of self-confidence definitely makes life easier. It helps you manage
your fears, thereby helping you to seize opportunities and take chances
that can change your life in a positive way.
Athletes, business
people, speakers, and actors all recognize that their own
self-confidence is integral to achieving their best performance. And
studies have shown that confidence can be more important romantically
than physical attractiveness.
So what is confidence anyway? In
it's simplest form, it is knowing what you're good at, what your worth
is, and then being able to convey that to others. If you believe that
you are less than you are, you're probably missing out on much that life
has to offer. This can spill into every area of your life; work,
school, relationships and your health.
Lets look at some solutions, and I'll give you an opportunity to get a free flower essence sample to get your confidence level up!
1. Buttercup
helps those who are frequently overlooked to shine forth with full
consciousness of their unique gifts and abilities. Buttercup inspires
you not to judge yourself based on conventional ideas of achievement, or
by comparing yourself to others, but to realize your worth based on who
you are, not your outward recognition. This is also a helpful essence
for those who are having to step into a phase where by some standards
would be considered a "less important" path. Buttercup shows us how we
are successful at whatever stage we are at.
2. Elecampagne
helps those who feel out of touch with the general population. It
helps you to be comfortable being yourself in social situations and
raises self-worth. It brings a stronger sense of individual identity
and helps you see the beauty in your own self. If you over-identify
with what you see as your flaws, elecampagne can help you transition to a
new sense of self.
3. Goldenrod
instills self-trust and confidence especially in those who don't have a
strong sense of their individual identity. A key to identifying this
type of personality is the individual modifying to fit whoever their
present company is. This is a great essence for the teen years when
identity is shaky and peer pressure is strong.
4. Harebell
helps those who are having a hard time interacting in group
situations. Harebell's lesson is that we are good enough, just as we
are, worthy of our Creator's unconditional love and to stop seeking love
in wrong places, and compromising who we really are in order to get
it.
5. Horseradish
heals feelings of inadequacy, and insecurity. It puts you back in the
driver's seat of life. You can move forward and you can change your
direction. You'll have to take some responsibility for your situation,
but Horseradish will build you up, fire you up and move you out of your
current rut in life by dislodging fear, low self-esteem and
blame-shifting.
6. Hyssop
addresses guilt and shame based issues and all their cousins:
Self-sabotage, self-blame, fear of being judged, perfectionism and
unworthiness. Hyssop works within those structures of thinking we have
created, to reverse that internal judgement and self-condemnation we
fall into.
7. Missouri Primrose
is for those who have trouble receiving the good in life because
negative emotions like guilt, self-sabotage or feeling unworthy get in
the way. Missouri Primrose can reach back to your childhood where your
sense of self-worth was being shaped, and let go of ideas that have been
imprinted that you are not deserving.
8. Sunflower
helps where insecurity comes across as pride, when the person
continually tries to convince others of their value. Sunflower is
corrective of either insecurity or pride, bringing the person into
balance of who they are in the grand scheme of things. Sunflower's
message is that the show that it puts on for others doesn't mean a
thing, all that matters are it's seeds, when it humbly bows it's head in
service. It helps us recognize and appreciate our gifts while also
recognizing those around us, and accept our shortcomings without shame.
Sunflower also brings a greater understanding regarding our
relationship with our fathers. When we grow up with a conflicted
relationship, or lack of relationship, to our fathers, it plays into
self-esteem issues. We also tend to project the natural relationship we
had with our fathers onto how we see God. None of us have had perfect
fathers in the natural, our issues may cause a block in our ability to
receive from the Father who is perfect.
9. Trumpet Vine
assists in speaking with confidence and fluidity, broadcasting your
personality through a megaphone and an ability to play off others with a
dynamic back and forth banter. Helps with intimidation and shyness,
may help with speech impediments or those who are trying to learn a new
language.

Other Confidence Builders
Let go of the things you're bad at.
Conventional
thinking says you need to work on those things so you'll get better,
thereby increasing your confidence. I would say that focusing on your
faults is the wrong way to go. We can't all be good at everything.
Those areas that we are struggling in, are energy drains and may have
you feeling bad for not measuring up. Unless you have a really strong
need to work on an area that is a huge challenge for you, I would say
you need to find what you are good at, what you love to do, and become a
master of that! You'll build confidence that will spill over into
other areas of your life.
Work out:
Feeling
strong and healthy is awesome and the endorphin release isn't bad
either. Your size should not be a factor in your confidence, but
consistent exercise can change things you don't like about your body.
Look like you care:
Having your look together makes you feel better about yourself and
whether you want to admit it or not, people judge based on looks. If
you look like someone who takes care of themselves and you appear "put
together" people treat you better. It's an instant confidence builder.
No matter what area of your life you need extra confidence in, flower essences can help you. Our basicConfidence blend is great, but if you need really specialized help, we can whip you up acustom combo!
