    Your Spark Action Steps This Week

    1️⃣ Sit, Hydrate, Breathe. When dizziness strikes, stop, sit, breathe, and sip water slowly.

    2️⃣ Electrolyte Boost. Add a pinch of mineral salt or an electrolyte packet to one glass of water daily.

    3️⃣ Steady Meals. Eat protein-rich meals every 3–4 hours to prevent glucose dips.

    4️⃣ Track Your Clues. Write down what you ate, felt, or did 20 minutes before each episode. Patterns reveal faster than guessing.

    5️⃣ Practice the 60-Second Grounding. Anchor your breath and body once a day—even if you’re not dizzy. It builds nervous system stability over time.

    Each of these actions isn’t just symptom management—it’s self-trust in motion. You’re showing your body that safety is possible again.

    Your Spark Action Steps This Week

    Reflect on what you’ve learned this month and choose ONE anchor habit to carry forward. Here are your options:

    1️⃣ Nutrition Anchor → Add one bone-friendly food daily: prunes, sesame seeds, or leafy greens.

    2️⃣ Movement Anchor → Do one weight-bearing or balance move: squats, stair climbs, or a yoga pose like tree pose.

    3️⃣ Lifestyle Anchor → Commit to 3 nights of better sleep or one daily stress reset.

    The goal is not perfection. It’s progress. By carrying one anchor habit into October, you’re proving to yourself—and your bones—that you are building a future of strength, resilience, and spark.”

    Your Spark Action Steps This Week

    Choose one non-fitness lifestyle habit to focus on this week:

    1️⃣ Sleep Ritual → Commit to a lights-out time 3 nights this week, aiming for 7–8 hours of quality sleep. Your bones repair most during deep rest.

    2️⃣ Stress Reset → Add one mini-reset every day—whether it’s a breathing exercise, journaling, or stepping outside barefoot for 5 minutes. Lower cortisol = stronger bones.

    3️⃣ Healthy Swap → Replace one daily soda, sugary latte, or nightly glass of wine with sparkling water, bone broth, or herbal tea. That single swap protects your calcium balance.

    Don’t try to change everything at once. Pick the one that feels easiest and repeat it daily. Small lifestyle tweaks, practiced consistently, are what build bones that last—and the confidence to carry them proudly into the next decade.
