## Body Awareness and Trust Building

1. Daily Body Check-In Practice
Purpose: Develop accurate awareness of bodily sensations and trust in your ability to assess them
Practice:

- Spend 5 minutes each morning scanning your body from head to toe
- Notice physical sensations without immediately judging them as good or bad
- Record your observations in a simple journal format
- Track patterns over time to validate your perceptual accuracy
- Celebrate instances where your early awareness prevented larger issues

Weekly Exercise: Review your body awareness journal entries from the week. Identify three instances where your self-assessment was accurate and helpful.
2. Symptom Interpretation Skills
Purpose: Build confidence in understanding what your body is communicating
Practice:

- When symptoms arise, pause and ask: "What might my body be telling me?"
- Consider multiple possibilities before settling on interpretations
- Notice connections between symptoms and lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, diet)
- Trust your gut feelings about whether something feels serious or manageable
- Document your interpretations and their outcomes to build confidence

Weekly Exercise: Choose one recurring symptom or sensation. Research its common causes and compare with your own observations about triggers and patterns.

## Decision-Making Confidence

3. Health Decision Validation Practice
Purpose: Build confidence in your ability to make sound health choices
Practice:

- Before health decisions, list what you know, what you don't know, and your gut feeling
- Make decisions based on available information plus your intuitive sense
- Follow through fully rather than second-guessing constantly
- Evaluate outcomes objectively and learn from both successes and mistakes
- Acknowledge when your initial instincts were correct

Weekly Exercise: Reflect on one health decision you made this week. Rate your confidence in the decision and identify what information or instincts contributed to it.
