Responsible Decision Making

The choices we have, dictate the decisions we make which builds the patterns of our lives. In this episode I break down the CDP framework; an easy and digestible process for high school students to begin to see that responsible decision making is something completely achievable.

When making choices, it is important to understand the difference between a choice and a decision. Choices are something that is presented to us and decisions are something that has already been done. Furthermore, there are three types of choices: obvious choices, hidden choices, and fabricated choices. Decision making is based on two factors: the physical and emotional state, as well as the meaning associated with the decision. Additionally, patterns can be divided into three levels: patterns, habits, and addictions.

It’s crucial to help students become aware of their choices, the decisions they make, and the patterns they are creating. By doing this, teens can become that much more aware of how they effect others and how they can lead their life in a more positive direction.
