CHOICES SESSION 4 FOR SCS PROGRAM

CHOICES DEFINITION An act or instance of choosing; selection The right, power, or opportunity to choose; option The person or thing chosen or eligible to be chosen An alternative An abundance or variety from which to choose

CONDITIONED RESPONSE

MAKING CHOICES UNDER HIGH STRESS Stop and take a few minutes to breathe deeply Then think about the question that was asked or the situation that has happened Then ask yourself: Does this benefit me? Do I have time? What are the consequences? When you are calm then make the choice otherwise wait to make a decision

HOW THE BRAIN MAKES CHOICES

WHAT CHOICES BENEFIT YOU AND SOCIETY?

CHOICES THAT BENEFIT YOU AND SOCIETY Volunteering Helping someone if it is safe Picking garbage up off the ground Recycling Being kind to all people Having a positive attitude

HOW TO DEAL WITH MISTAKES WHEN BAD CHOICES ARE MADE Step1: What was the mistake? Step 2: How could you make a better choice next time? Step 3: What were the triggers? Step4: What were the red flags? Step 5: Guilt is good but do not put yourself down or continuously cycle through the mistake Step 6: Forgive yourself and move forward Step 7: Make better choice next time the situation arises

DEFINING TRIGGERS A trigger is a thought about a situation that leads to an inappropriate response to that situation It is not the situation or the feeling that’s the problem; it’s how the individual thinks about these things and what they say to themselves that causes problems Read more:

DEFINING RED FLAGS Red Flags are Warning Signs Listen to what people are saying around you Observe peoples behavior Are you hearing things that could be harmful to you or someone else? Are you getting an uncomfortable feeling? Listen to your instincts

CHOICES THAT FOLLOW YOU FOR LIFE Having a baby Getting an STI Committing a crime Unable to leave country Unable to get a job Unable to get a house or apartment Doing drugs and changing your brain chemistry or overdosing Hurting someone else
