Mental Control of Diabetes

We have all heard it over and over again, "diet and exercise for diabetics", but I believe more emphasis needs to be placed on our mental outlook of this disease.Learn all that you can about your condition and get ready to do battle.

Start your morning with a wholesome breakfast and eat just enough to be a little hungry as you leave the table. Now the mental part comes in. Bring to mind pleasant thoughts like maybe being on a South Sea Island watching a sailboat off in the distance. As you are relaxing you can start visualizing your day.
See youself being joyful and thankful for being alive today. Look for a way to make someone else as joyful as you are.

Now get some exercise. Find something that you love doing and don't make a chore of it. I love walking and meditating on all this great World has to offer us. If any negative thoughts try to barge in, just change the subject. That gets a little easier to do as time goes on. Just think of this, you just had a great breakfast and now you are getting exercise and building a positive mental attitude. Isn't this just what the doctor ordered?
Don't be a loner in your battle with diabetes. Support groups are perfect for you to help someone else. By helping others, you probably help yourself even more. The good feeling you get from doing it is doing wonders for your therapy.

Just taking charge of your body in this way is going to make a big difference in your health. You will feel the difference right away with more energy and a better outlook for your life.
