Activities to help your decision-making: feelings & values

We have used a variety of decision-making exercises. Some involve considering your thoughts or feelings or your physical responses to this decision. Some involve using your rational side and others using your creative or intuitive side. You might find some more useful than others depending on your decision-making style.

  • How do I feel? - Exercises to help you assess your feelings about your unplanned pregnancy.

  • What are my values, beliefs and goals? - A set of questions aimed at helping you clarify your feelings and attitudes.

  • Rating my feelings: - Exercises to help work out how you feel about abortion, adoption or continuing the pregnancy.
