I could have sworn I posted about this ages ago. I vaguely remember typing something up. I think the name had stopped me from posting about it in the past. Everyone I tell about it comments something to the effect, “Well, I’m not AFRAID.” So, I think the name is really off-putting. It could be some people might not equate being unable to fall asleep with “fear, anxiety, or panic”. I don’t know many people that want to admit feeling those things. And when we are unable to fall asleep we might not think of it as fear or anxiety or panic. Often times people just say they “can’t turn off their brain.” But to me that equates to anxiety. I am anxious that I didn’t get all that I wanted to get done that day. Or I am anxious about all that I have to do tomorrow. Anyway . . . I don’t like the name . . . I wish they would change it. I feel that they might get more people purchasing it if they gave it a different name. (But, really, I don’t know how many people DO purchase it, so that is a silly thought on my part!) I am talking about Fear-Less. It is a formula made from flowers from Flower Essence Services.
This formula is described as something that can be used for “any known condition that provokes fear or anxiety – such as public performance or travel”. The site goes onto say that it is good for times of panic and chaos. Also, that is can help children and pets. I really think they could add that it helps in simple situations like traffic or being unable to sleep. Traffic is annoying, to me, and this helps with that aggravation. Flower Essence Services also sells a sleep formula so that could be why they don’t promote this one as something that can help you sleep. I don’t like their sleep formula as much. I think Fear-Less works better for me.
Sometimes I just have a lot on my mind or I am not really that tired, but I know that I have to go to bed because I have to get up early the next morning. I just use a few squirts of this. Or sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and an idea pops into my head and I could easily just start to choreograph a dance or plan a routine, but I know I should just go back to sleep, so I just spray some of it in my mouth. You can take it orally or spray it on you or around you, like on your pillow and sheets.
There are many reasons one might want to simply want to feel a little more calm . . . this might be something that could help*. It works for me.
Do you have any remedies for trouble falling asleep? Or any remedies to help you feel more calm?

I can’t even remember where I read it, but it was a list of things successful and productive people do. Ya know, the usually list that includes “have your staff do all the things you would like to get off your plate.” Yeah, ok. Well, in addition to the things on the list for people WITH staff there were a few things that people without staff could do. One of them, of course, was make a list of things you need to do. Well, I think we are all familiar with that. In fact I have a lot of lists. And as I said, one of the things I do when I am supposed to be going to sleep is mentally move the things from my current to-do list onto the next day’s to-do list. But – to me – the key thing the article said about the to-do list was to let is be a tool to let you concentrate. Allow the list to take all the things you have to do out of your head so you can concentrate on the one thing you are doing at the moment.
