Iron Deficiency Anemia

9. The Power of Reflecting


Listen Later

I am honored to share, connect, and reflect with you on your journey. I truly am and I am thrilled to get to share with you in Episode 9 today, the fifth stage in my five step process: The Power of Reflecting. In the previous episode, we discussed the power of listening to your body and I hope that through the journaling exercises I provided in that episode that you are feeling empowered and confident and more in tune with your unique body.

 

Now that you’ve listened to your body, it is time to reflect. This is not always an easy step, but it is the most powerful in not only getting things under control, but also in maintaining that control. Reflecting allows you to look back so you are not constantly reinventing the wheel. And reflecting gives you the power and the confidence to do more of what is working and less of what is not.

 

Show Notes:

[1:52] - Each stage plays a key role on this journey: Discovering, Exploring, Nourishing, Listening to Your Body, and now stage five is all about reflecting.

[2:45] - What reflecting gives you is the confidence to look inside, monitor results, and make changes if necessary.

[3:27] - All five stages in Asia’s process are all interconnected. Throughout the entire process, you are learning so much about yourself and your body.

[3:50] - Asia admits it is hard to reflect. It is difficult to take a step back.

[5:07] - One question to ask yourself when reflecting is: What adjustments have I made?

[5:53] - The next question to consider is: What foods are working for me? You don’t have to recreate the wheel. If these foods are working for you, keep them on rotation.

[6:15] - Another question Asia suggests reflecting on is: What foods aren’t working for me? This is just as powerful.

[6:35] - And the final reflection question is: How am I feeling now? Compare how you felt at the beginning of this process and how you feel now. What do you notice?

[7:42] - Asia encourages you to reach her through her website, through email, or on Facebook. Send her a note to let her know how you’re feeling and do more of what is working and less of what is not.
