Will I, won’t I. She/he loves me, she/he loves me not. (OK, that’s a decision that’s out of our hands!) To be or not to be. To buy whole tinned tomatoes or diced. Every day is filled with decision making, some of it life changing, some of it mundane. If you opt for whole tomatoes, you’ll have more work to do when cooking – not a biggie. But when it comes to the life changing decisions: argh, they can torment us for a long time, both in the making and in wondering afterwards if we chose the right option.
Before we talk about essential oils to support your decision making process, here’s a great tip I found empowering.
Let’s say you’re anguishing over a decision. You’ve drawn up pros and cons on a sheet of paper, putting each one in a box that’s sized according to how important it is in the overall picture; you’ve visualised each scenario and tapped into your feelings and looked for intuitive guidance; you’ve phoned every friend and family member on your speed dial; you’re looking for ‘signs from God/above/the universe’ as you drive around in hopes that you’ll get an epiphany, only to spot an equal number of signs each way – or none at all!
Then make your best guess and tell yourself this: the choice you made is the best choice because it’s the choice you made. Simple.
We can never ever know for sure how any choice might have panned out in hindsight. The path you chose might have challenges and difficulties unforeseen and you could beat yourself up for thinking you made the wrong choice. But you can never ever know for sure what challenges and difficulties would have come along with the alternate path you didn’t take.
To me, this notion of loving your choice and trusting it’s right no matter what is brilliantly comforting as a compass when you’re grappling with a decision.
And now let’s talk about essential oils that can help, too. Each of the ones I’ve listed here are Young Living essential oil blends because I trust them for efficacy and purity always. These are just my personal favourites so I also encourage you to browse through the list of Young Living blends and see what leaps out for you.

And please ensure you’re choosing a brand with complete transparency from seed to seal, such as Young Living.

Top 3 Essential Oils for Decision Making
Young Living Clarity™
Cut through the confusion, turn off the fog machine and clear the air with Young Living Clarity™.
This spicy-fresh blend has delicious notes of cardamom (great for refreshing and invigorating) and rosemary (stimulating and energising). Apply a drop onto your wrist, gently press your other wrist onto it, inhale the oil deeply from your wrists then press them to your temples (being sure to keep well away from your eyes) and the base of your head. Some days I’ll wear Young Living Clarity™ as a fragrance and apply it behind my ears as well. You might want to try this too and be ready to get people’s contact details when they ask you what aftershave or fragrance you’re wearing. It’s a wonderful way to strike up a conversation about the oils when you’re building a Young Living independent business. (Click here to ask me more about how to join Young Living and develop your own independent part-time home-based business in one of the fastest growing and most consciously beautiful wellness areas you’ll find.)
Young Living Grounding™
When you’re making decisions, you need both feet firmly planted on the ground. Along with physically grounding yourself by going for long walks barefoot on the beach or in the park (wet grass is awesome for this – not in a thunderstorm, of course!), tap into the power of Young Living Grounding™ essential oil blend to keep your energy centred, balanced and settled. Massage a few drops into the sole of each foot, diffuse or inhale directly from the bottle or cupped hands. This potent blend includes the oils of white fir (empowering), spruce (balancing) and juniper (elevates spiritual awareness).
Young Living Sacred Mountain™
Resplendent with pines and conifers that bring a feeling of the spirituality and protection of mountain forests, Young Living Sacred Mountain™ includes spruce (grounding), ylang ylang (balancing for male and female energies), Idaho Balsam Fir (anchoring) and cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) which is used extensively to promote meditation and a sense of connection to your source. When you feel deeply connected in this way, a sense of calm and confidence in yourself comes into place. You’ll be more likely to look for the choice that will serve your highest potential and purpose and choose from a place of faith rather than fear.
As always, if you are struggling emotionally and need help, please do reach out to an organisation where you can talk with a trained person such as Lifeline and beyondblue in Australia.
