How can I atone for the many oaths I broke when I swore not to do one of two things to resolve a dilemma?

A Muslim should magnify the matter of an oath. Allah the Almighty has condemned those who frequently swear oaths. If a Muslim takes multiple oaths concerning different matters and then breaks them, he must offer expiation for each oath he took and broke. A Muslim should strive and investigate to estimate the number of oaths he took and broke so that he may expiate for them.
