Flower Remedies to Help With Sports and Activities The flower remedies can be very helpful in bringing out our best in any activity.  Sports are a big part of many of our lives and the flower remedies can be used to help make our pursuit of them more enjoyable and successful.  Mental clarity and discipline go a long way to determining how good we get at something, and the flower remedies can help us stay focused and on course.  They can also be used to deal with the wide range of stressors and doubts that come up when placed into a competitive environment.  They can be taken before, during, or after the activity, and by tuning our mind and body to work together they can help us to feel and be “in the zone” virtually all the time. For example, let’s say we’re playing baseball and we are somewhat scared that we might get hit by the ball when batting.  This might cause us to flinch or hang back, and not take a strong swing or to have a good look at the ball.  Mimulus can help us to overcome the fear and thus become a much better hitter as a  result.  Or maybe we’re the pitcher and all eyes are on us.  This stress alone can be enough to throw us off our game and unnerve us.  Walnut can help keep this pressure—and that of parents or peers—off us and at bay.   Or maybe it’s an important part of the game and we suddenly start to lose our nerve and think we’re not up to the task—so Elm or Larch would help—or the desire to be the hero throws off our concentration—so Clematis or Chicory might help us keep focused and actually become it.  If our team is behind and we think we’re just going to lose and begin to give up as a result, Gentian or Gorse can help us to keep at it and realize that there’s still a chance to win.  If we’re having trouble concentrating, on or off the field, Chestnut Bud,  Clematis, White Chestnut, or Honeysuckle might be called for.  If we get too competitive and winning becomes everything to us, there is Vervain and Holly.  If we are worried that we’re going to mess up and be laughed at, Mimulus, Larch, Agrimony, and Walnut can help.  If we are ball hogs or don’t trust our teammates to make the play when needed, there is Vine and Chicory to help us become better team players and not to hog all the glory.  If we have a hard time learning and becoming better at a sport, making the same mistakes over and over or not improving with practice, there is Chestnut Bud, which helps us pick up the subtleties of the game more quickly. Maybe off the field we have problems that keep us from being our best.  If we don’t feel like exercising and practicing, even though we want to and know we should, Hornbeam and Olive can help.  If people are pressuring us to cheat or use drugs, Walnut or Centaury can help us to say no and not to give in.  These two are also good for when we don’t really want to play a sport or activity but feel pressured into it, or like we’d be disappointing other people if we quit.
