Making decisions takes brain power. An endless stream of decisions, no

Even choosing what to wear can be too much sometimes

matter how small can leave you feeling stressed and depleted. This is why your willpower may be weaker in the evening and you give in to chocolate or another glass of wine or whatever your weakness is, despite your good intentions.

Agonizing Over Decisions

However, some people find making decisions extremely difficult and draining and can leave them feeling anxious about the consequences. They may find it hard to say ‘No’ to requests without feeling guilty, or worry about missed opportunities or what other people will think of them. As a result they may put off decisions for as long as possible or fret over ones they have already made.

If as a child you were

  • not allowed to make any decisions of your own
  • you were criticised for the choices you made
  • made to feel a failure when you made a mistake
  • blamed for unfortunate consequences

this can make you doubt your own instincts and decision-making ability as an adult.

Being unable to feel relaxed about decisions you have made or are trying to make can overtax  your nervous system, disrupt sleep patterns, reduce the quality of sleep and lead to a sense of overwhelm and self doubt. So if you  or your  child or family member  always answers a question with ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I don’t mind’, it may be because they have an underlying fear of ‘getting it wrong’ or being judged.

Flower essences can be a wonderful support in undoing long-held negative beliefs and thought patterns. These are usually held in the subconscious mind so you may be toally unaware of what is causing your indecision. It is possible to identify the most suitable flower  essence to help improve your ability to make and live with your decisions. I can do this using muscle testing for you or any family member. For the month of October I am offering the chance to have your own flower essence combination chosen and made at a discounted price. This is an ideal opportunity to experience the gentle healing of flower essences, if you haven’t tried them before.

Special Offer for October!  £20 including p+p for Your Individually Chosen Flower Essence Combination

If you would like me to identify and supply a flower essence combination specifically for you , please phone me on 0208 300 8027 or email me at hellis@discoverholistichealth.co.uk.

If you let me know what your concern is,  I can find the most suitable essence combination by muscle testing remotely, or if you prefer you can send me a hair sample to use. I use a number of different flower essence ranges as they have an effect on different causes and levels of your energy field.

Top Tips for Easier Decision Making

  1. Plan regular times for activities such as exercise or meditation so you avoid having to make decisions about when to fit those things into your day. if you lack motivation, schedule your visits to the gym or plan regular power walks with a friend.
  2. Plan ahead as many things as you can to avoid constant decisions.
  3. Make important decisions when you are feeling fresh. ‘Sleep on it’ is a better alternative to a rushed decision made when you’re feeling tired.
  4. Conserve your energy resources  by using it carefully so you have some in reserve for emergencies and crises.
  5. Eat protein, such as eggs, lean meat, fish, sea food, cottage cheese, tofu and pulses, at each meal to prevent blood sugar crashes and loss of energy and willpower. Avoid skipping meals.
  6. Drink plenty of filtered water right through the day to avoid creating stress to your body by dehydration. Your brain needs water to function well.
  7. If you are putting off making a decision, focus on the sensation that is being created by your thoughts and feelings around this issue. Take your awareness to the area of your body that is affected and breathe deeply to let go of any stuck emotions. Stay focussed on the matter and see if you can identify the feelings associated with it. By staying with the issue and the bodily sensations that it brings up, it is likely that the uncomfortable feelings will just gently dissipate.
  8. If you find that you have problems making choices most days or you become very irritable or anxious about  decisions, seek professional help from a homeopath, flower essence practitioner, EFT practitioner, kinesiologist or other energy healing therapist.
  9. Regularly declutter and get rid of unwanted clothes to make it easier to choose what clothes to wear each day and when packing to go away. Give away any clothes that you don’t like yourself in and bring some colour into your wardrobe if you always wear neutral colours. Colour has an energising effect.
