When We Can't Decide!

Bach Flowers - When we can't decide!

To be or not to be? To do or not to do? Life is full of uncertainties. Sometimes we don't know what we should do, other times we can't decide between multiple choices. Asking our friends and experts is no doubt a good option, but finally we have to decide. If this becomes a problem more often, we may need a little help. Let us see how Bach Flowers help us in deciding our course of action.

When we can't decide between two or more options. We have got all the inputs about the pros and cons of the various choices. We are now swinging back and forth between the choices and we can't make up our mind. We get frustrated about our indecision.

Astrologically, those of us who are born in the zodiacal signs of Gemini and Libra (Between these two Gemini is much more affected, when Mercury and Moon are together and are weak) will sometimes find this trait so marked that we suffer. If any of you want to comment more on this, I welcome your inputs.

Since we are keen, intelligent people who can see both sides of the coin, we can't make up our mind. When we go shopping, we can't decide what to choose between two dresses or two models of the latest gadget. We go to a restaurant and we can't decide between two good dishes. We need Scleranthus.

We are stuck and we don't know what to do. We have no ideas, we have no choices from which we can choose. We feel blocked. This may be true of any aspect of our life like career or the life itself. We sometimes keep wondering what for we have taken birth. We don't know the purpose of our life. We need WILD OAT.

We have the inputs and we know what to do, but can't trust our own judgment. So, we keep asking our friends whether we are doing right. We are asking them, not for any input which will help us take the right decision, but are asking them for reassurance, because we can't trust our own judgment. We need CERATO. (We may also need LARCH for our lack of self-confidence.)

LARCH has no problem in deciding what to do but lacks confidence in doing it and so feels diffident to take up. Since many times, our expectations come true, we actually fail to do the work and the feed-back cycle is complete. We feel that we indeed are incapable and our self-image starts becoming weaker and weaker. LARCH helps in such a situation. If this is left uncorrected, we may end up as CERATO, where we lack all confidence in our ability to decide between two alternatives and so need reassurance from others. CERATO people tend to cling to friends and relatives for continued reassurance and thus drain their energy!

If we can't decide between CERATO and LARCH, we may first start with SCLERANTHUS!
