Motivational Monday: Set Realistic Expectations

“Everybody is different and it’s not going to be 100% everyday. Expecting yourself to be a certain number everyday, all day, everyday, when it’s not going to be will stress you out.” - Anonymous

One way to overcome this is to focus on overall trends and patterns rather than getting caught up in specific numbers. It's also important to remember that each person's body and health journey is unique. Listen to your body and make adjustments accordingly.

Seeking support from your healthcare team and connecting with others who have similar experiences can also be helpful in managing expectations and finding ways to cope with individual differences.

Few and Far Between

When I decided to give this app a chance, “The Mighty” being it’s name was what drew me into downloading it. I was looking for some sense of community so as to heal from the emotional wreckage Type 1 Diabetes has caused in my little life. I looked up the topic (Type 1) and found this group. And, as I suspected prior to joining this group, we are indeed few and far between.

Eat well. Don’t feed your children (if you should have them) anything in a grocery store that contains single a word in the ingredients that represents a chemical compound. No matter how much they scream, and no matter how hard it hurts you to hear it; if you’re a lifelong Type 1 diabetic- take it from a 32 year old with 27 years experience, who’s been comatose, and actually dead on more than one occasion- . If you have this disease, and you cannot manage it alone, or with help, please know that you are the mightiest of the mighty, and that not all foods are created equal.

"Happiness is a habit."- Anonymous

Living with a chronic illness is undeniably challenging. Yet, even while managing such conditions, we can still opt for happiness. Cultivating happiness as a habit is one approach. Below are some strategies to achieve this:

1.Setting realistic goals that are small and achievable that aligns with our values and interests.

2.Practicing gratitude by focusing on the positive things that's happening in our lives. This helps us develop a more optimistic outlook on life.

3.Engaging in activities that bring us joy (traveling, spending time with loved ones, creating, volunteering) helps us cultivate happiness.

4.Prioritizing self-care by scheduling regular check-ups with our healthcare providers and adjust our diabetes management plan as necessary.

Creating a more positive and fulfilling life while managing diabetes is a journey that requires patience and perseverance. Adopt the practice of taking life one moment, one step, one day at a time.

By integrating these tips gradually, you will start to feel the positive effects of making happiness a habitual choice.
