Chestnut Bud
For some reason this particular remedy stuck in my husbands
memory after reading my book manuscript over and over again, and to my
annoyance with great pleasure tells me that I need to take it from time to
time!
This particular remedy helps us to break bad habits, so may
be a good one to take to try and stick to our New Year's resolutions! However,
Dr Bach's system comprises of 38 remedies, each aimed at a particular negative
emotion or personality trait. For a full list of the
remedies go to the 38 Remedies Page
Description of the remedy Chestnut Bud taken from the book "Bach Flower Reflections"
After a
long hard day of work, I look forward to a relaxing evening and some time for
myself. We eat at 6 p.m., and
afterwards take the dogs for a walk. Then, after putting on my night attire I
can hear the couch calling my name.
After a while
during the commercials I go into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea and go
to the "junk" cupboard to see what can alleviate my "snack attack." After a bowl of chips, I feel like having
something sweet. A cookie helps, but
then I remember the chocolate bar that looked rather lonely on the top shelf.
Half an hour later, I complain to my husband
that I have eaten too much and feel sick!
Oh yes! His reply is always the same, "It's your own fault for eating so
much," but I always seem to forget. For some reason I always get into a rut,
and never learn from my mistakes.
Chestnut
Bud helps me to realize that enough is enough.
Next time I go grocery shopping I am not going to buy any "junk
food." Another solution is to see if
there are any clubs or classes worth joining, to keep me busy and off the
couch.
The
Chestnut Bud grows next to the scars of last year's leaves and tightly hangs
onto how things were. Gradually it
opens up to hopes and dreams, spreading its leaves out to a new, fresh, clean
start.
