11.8 Reflection

Reflect on the following questions:

1. Reflect on a recent meal or day’s worth of eating. What specific choices made you feel energized or sluggish, and why do you think that happened based on the nutrition concepts you’ve learned?
2. Reflect on a recent stretch of nights when you struggled to fall asleep or stay asleep. What specific factors (e.g., your pre-bed routine, emotional state, or environmental conditions) do you believe contributed most to your sleep difficulties? How might adjusting these factors help you achieve a more consistent and restorative night’s rest moving forward?
3. Think back to a period when you felt consistently fatigued or unmotivated. Which specific habits around nutrition, sleep, or self-care might have contributed to this feeling? How did you, or could you, alter these habits to regain energy and improve physical well-being?
4. Recall a time you or someone close to you faced a serious health scare. How did factors like nutrition, sleep, or timely medical care shape the outcome? What lessons did you take away that now guide your daily health decisions?
5. Consider the cultural or societal norms that have shaped your views on food, body image, and health. Which of these influences serves you well? Which might you challenge or redefine to create a more personalized and sustainable approach to optimal physical well-being?
