**Health Decision Made Recently:**
Recently, I made the decision to reduce my caffeine intake by limiting my consumption of coffee and energy drinks. I noticed that my anxiety levels were increasing and that I had trouble sleeping at night. By replacing caffeinated beverages with herbal teas and water, I have been able to foster a calmer mindset and improve my overall sleep quality. This change has led to a notable decrease in stress and an enhancement in my daily energy levels, ultimately benefiting my mental and physical health.
**Overuse of Technology and Social Skills:**
The overuse of technology can significantly impact a person's social skills by reducing face-to-face interactions and leading to difficulties in interpreting non-verbal cues. As individuals become more accustomed to communicating through screens, they may struggle with forming genuine connections and navigating social situations in the real world. This reliance on digital forms of communication can result in a lack of empathy and effective communication skills, as well as increased feelings of isolation when not engaged with their devices.
**Ways to Prevent Brain Drain:**
1. Engage in Regular Physical Activity: Exercise boosts brain health and enhances cognitive functions.
2. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation: These techniques help improve focus and reduce stress, promoting better mental clarity.
3. Maintain a Balanced Diet: Consuming nutrient-rich foods supports brain function and overall health.
**Healthful Behaviors:**
Healthful behaviors are actions and habits that contribute to an individual's overall well-being and prevent disease. Examples include regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, hydration, stress management, and avoiding tobacco or excessive alcohol use.
**Questions for Reliable Information**:
1. Who is the author or publisher of the information, and are they credible?
2. What are the sources used to support the claims, and are they reliable?
3. When was the information published and is it up-to-date?
4. Is the information biased, or does it provide evidence and multiple viewpoints?
**Ways to Say No to Risky Behavior:**
1. Be Direct: Clearly state your decision to decline without giving a lengthy explanation.
2. Offer Alternatives: Suggest a different activity that is safe and enjoyable.
3. Use Humor: Light-heartedly dismiss the offer with a joke, so it’s not confrontational.
**Health Skills:**
Health skills are abilities and strategies that enable individuals to make informed health-related decisions, effectively communicate, manage emotions, and adopt healthy behaviors. They include critical thinking, decision-making, goal setting, interpersonal skills, and advocacy.
**S.T.O.P in Refusal Skills:**

**Time I Used a Refusal Skill:**
I recall a time when I was at a party and a friend offered me a drink. I used a refusal skill by firmly saying, “No, thanks. I’d rather stick with water tonight.” I then suggested playing a game instead, which diverted the attention and created a fun alternative to drinking.
**Influence of Friends on Health:**
My friends significantly influence my health by the activities we engage in together. They encourage healthy eating and motivate me to stay active by inviting me to join them for workouts or outdoor activities. Additionally, their attitudes towards stress management and mental well-being shape my own habits, reminding me of the importance of balance in life.
