Indecision?

A frequent reason we become stuck when trying to make a decision is that we believe there are only two options, to act or not to act.  Should I leave this job or stay?  Should I book this holiday or not?  We become so mired in doubt that we forget that there is almost always more than one option or alternative.  Even when we ask our circle for their opinion they may well choose between ‘either’ and ‘or’ rather than point out another way to tackle the dilemma.  And when we are stuck in analysis paralysis we probably can’t even contemplate the idea of an alternative solution anyway.

Whether we need Scleranthus (for being unable to decide) or Cerato (for having such doubt in our choice that we canvas other opinions), with or without additional remedies such as Chestnut Bud to prevent us making the same decision mistakes, taking the flower remedies will encourage us to lift our gaze, remove the blinkers, look around and perceive that yes, there are other ways of resolving the situation. And with clearer vision it becomes so much easier to decide, and then move forward with our lives.
