Pregnancy Workbook: My Past
Before you can begin to make important decisions or know what you want your future to be, it may be important to look at what has shaped you to be who you are.
Here is an activity to look at where you have been in your life and who you are today, before you begin to look at where you are going in the future.
"Who am I?" Discovering yourself in your past.
How did I get where I am today? Take a five-minute trip to your past. Close your eyes and think about your home growing up. Draw a mental picture of your home. Now take a piece of paper and draw (or write down, if you prefer) what you saw in your mental picture. Look at what you have drawn. Does it show love? Stress? Confusion? Frustration?
Take another look at the picture of your home as a child. If you could control the home and what it gave you to take through life, would the picture stay the same? What changes would you make to the picture, if you could?
List the changes you made to the picture.
