Making Healthy Choices

Making a choice can be really hard, and knowing what is the best choice doesn't always make it easier.

Here are some things to think about as you are making a decision:

• Is this the best choice for me?
• Will this decision make me happy?
• What are the pros and cons for each choice?
• Am I going to be happy with my decision a couple of months from now?

Tips:

• Write it down--make a list of pros and cons to help clarify your choices.
• Sleep on it--a decision deserves time and thought.
• Talk it out--ask a friend or trusted adult to help you think things through.
