Take a few quiet moments to reflect on Part One of this course. You may write your answers in a journal, a notes app, or on paper. Take breaks as needed.

Reminder: If you begin to feel overwhelmed or notice that you’ve touched on something sensitive while processing, please reach out to the Life4Real team. These moments are often a sign that you are truly reflecting and taking meaningful steps toward growth. We are here to support you!

What did your family dynamic look like growing up?
Were your emotional, physical, or safety needs consistently met? In what ways—or not?
What cultural or generational beliefs influenced how your family functioned (This may include taboo topics such as finances, sex, substance abuse, etc.)?
How do you see those early dynamics showing up in your life today?
Are there patterns in your relationships, emotions, or choices that feel familiar from your past (e.g., maybe you react the same way that a parent or guardian reacted in your life)?
Which patterns feel helpful—and which feel harmful or limiting?

Once you have completed today’s reflection, please send an email to wellnesswalk@life4real.com sharing one thought or takeaway.
