Do you recognise any of these traits in yourself?
- You feel anxious or uneasy when routines are disrupted, even by small unexpected events.
- You prefer sticking to familiar habits and processes, even when they’re no longer efficient or enjoyable.
- You find yourself procrastinating on new tasks or decisions because they feel overwhelming or unfamiliar.
- You frequently seek reassurance before trying something new, wanting to know every detail in advance.
- You strongly dislike the risks that come with new opportunities, preferring the comfort of what’s known.
- You fell frustrated or stressed when others push for change, it feels more like pressure than support.
- You use phrases like “that’s just how I do it” or “it’s always worked this way” to justify staying in the same patterns.
If you recognise these situations, then you are likely in a state that Avoids Change and need to take the Walnut Bach Flower Remedy.
Developing an Walnut State?
Walnut is one of the most commonly bought remedies – but I think it’s also one of the most misunderstood remedies. It is known as ‘the link-breaker' is often taken when we think we need a change. But that’s not quite right.
Bach said that those in need of Walnut had ideals and ambitions and were rarely influenced by the opinions and enthusiasm of others. But when they were influenced by people who had enthusiastic ideas or were excited about a situation, Walnut would help them break that influence.
If this sounds like you... then likely you’re in need of the Bach Flower Remedy Walnut.
More details on Walnut
If you find you are sensitive to the things others say: even if you’re sensitive to the weather, Walnut will help you reduce your sensitivity.
Walnut helps to break the link between different stages in our lives: between childhood and teenage years, or between marriage and divorce, or between one job and another, or one town or country and another. It helps to break the influence of a person or a situation and leaves us free to follow through our own ideas and fulfil our own ambitions without being influenced by those of others.
It's also worth remembering that Bach Flower Remedies don’t change the world outside us – they change us...and Walnut helps us by changing us and reduces our sensitivity and this makes us more accepting of change.
