What do you think is the number one reason why most people don't get what they want? I'll tell you. It's because they are indecisive -- They don't know what they want!

Take a moment and think about how you feel when you are unclear and unfocused. Do you procrastinate? Do you go from one task to the next without really completing anything? If you've ever frittered away your time by doing busywork and didn't really accomplish much, then you know what I'm talking about. You also know that indecision is the breeding ground for the exhausting triple whammy of doubt, anxiety and frustration. Now, what happens when you are decisive? You make clear and wise decisions and the Universe mobilizes to support you!

You see, making wise decisions is the clearest route to achieving your goals. You know how you feel when you are certain of your next step. You stay focused and energized. You feel confident; you know what to do and the rest follows naturally. It's as if the details take care of themselves.

Being decisive is about more than just being able to choose among life's many options. It's about knowing what you want. Knowing the right questions to ask. Knowing what to do, what not to do, and when. But most importantly, when you are decisive you can be proactive and take timely action. That's why I say decisiveness is the key to success. And indecision and procrastination are dream killers.

The good news is that you can change your patterns of indecision and procrastination by optimizing your Wood Element Energy. And Spring is the perfect time of year to do this because according to the Chinese Five Element Acupuncture system this is the time of year when the energy of the Wood Element is strongest. If you're feeling disorganized, unfocused and indecisive this is an indication that you need repatterning for the Wood Element. You see, procrastinating, second guessing yourself, wasting time, and getting stuck in the same old rut are what happens when your Wood Element Energy is out of balance. And you know all too well what happens next... You spiral down into anger, frustration and hopelessness. And then you start frantically searching for a solution that doesn't materialize. You go from one thing to the next always searching and never finding, and the cycle of anger, frustration and hopelessness continues.

Just reading about it has probably got you all tense. Take a couple of breaths... Now, relax and visualize how powerful you will feel when you are aligned with the positive qualities of the Wood Element:

• Feel the peace of mind that flows from having a clear vision of what you want and need.

• See yourself knowing how to begin and then taking each step as it naturally unfolds.

• Picture yourself feeling confident because you have laser sharp discernment: you know what to do and when.

• Imagine maintaining your hope and optimism - even when those inevitable challenges come up!

Just by moving into resonance with the positive qualities of the Wood Element you can support your decisiveness, wise decision making, focus, vision, goal-setting, discernment, right timing, positive self-assertion, hope and optimism.
