From the Lesson Workbook

The Bigger Picture

Taking good care of ourselves goes way beyond the food we eat.

Don't get so caught up in the fine details that you lose sight of this bigger picture.

Sometimes how we are feeling has nothing to do with our diet.

Also Think About:

  • The quantity & quality of your sleep.
  • Appropriate and enjoyable movement.
  • Relaxation and stress management strategies
  • Connection to others and the quality of our relationships
  • Engaging with your physical and mental health – noticing when things change or symptoms occur, seeking appropriate support and advice in a timely manner, avoiding smoking, moderating alcohol intake, attending screening appointments etc.
  • But also remember that not everything in wellness is essential. It's OK not to do things too.
