Choice point worksheet

Here’s a simple but effective way of thinking about which direction you are travelling in, with each choice you make. It comes from “The Weight Escape” by Ciarrochi, Bailey and Harris (2014), a book I use a lot with clients who have difficulties with food, but this diagram can used with any decision.

Start with your challenging situation.

What is the challenging situation you are facing?

Now focus on your Inner experience. What difficult feelings, thoughts, and sensations show up in this situation?

Now ask yourself about your Values, Skills, and Strengths: What can you use to help you respond effectively to your inner experience and to the challenge you face?

One way of doing this is to be BOLD:

✤B- Breath—Breath slowly, slow down

✤O-Observe—Observe what you are Doing. Feeling. Thinking. Allow the inner experience to flow throw you.

✤L-Listen to values–Right now, what kind of person do you want to be?

✤D –Decide on actions and do them. Choose actions that will reflect your values
