How to focus effectively
My daughter has some important exams coming up soon, and she needs to review two years of school work. Unfortunately the exams count for most of the mark.
On the walls of her room, my daughter has pinned up various helpful study hints i.e. healthy foods to eat, an exam timetable and a study schedule. As a teenage is it hard to knuckle down to studying when you can be distracted by checking email, facebook, and the reality that these exams can shape your future.
To assist with the studying and without trying to be too interfering (a fine line with a teenager) I suggested that she made up a remedy mix to help. The suggested mix was: Hornbeam, Clematis, Elm, Larch, Gentian and Rescue Remedy.
Hornbeam is the remedy for those who procrastinate, and do trivial fun things instead of the important matter at hand (studying). The day's work can be done with a clear head and can be properly balanced with fun activities.
Clematis is for the day-dreamer who finds it hard to concentration on the here and now. This remedy helps with controlled thoughts and the ability to concentrate on the pending task.
When you are feeling overwhelmed by the workload, Elm
is the remedy to consider. This remedy assists with efficiency and self-assurance that the task can be done.
Larch is for lack of self-confidence, for those who will not even try because they are certain they are sure to fail. The positive potential of Larch helps one to be feel determined and unworried about the outcome.
For those feeling discouraged or despondent with the amount of studying that has to be done Gentian
is an option. It assists with helping the student to feel that no task is too daunting and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Rescue Remedy is useful to have on hand for the stressed out student. It can help you to face the situation in a better frame of mind, and will help to reduce your fear and nervousness. It contains: Impatiens (keeps you calm), Star of Bethlehem (neutralizes trauma), Cherry Plum (restores balance), Rock Rose (restores courage and a peace of mind), and Clematis (keeps you focused). It can be taken as often as necessary before a stressful event and will provide comfort and reassurance. Rescue Remedy often brings an immediate effect that will put you back in control.
Of course everyone is different so it depends on their personality, and present circumstances. Simply take four drops of the remedy mix four times a day and see what happens...
Spring is certainly in the air - the sun is out and the blossoms are blooming.
