Do you experience days where you feel like no matter how hard you try, your blood sugars continue to be out of control?
It is on these days that the stress, frustration and overwhelm of living with diabetes can be at an all-time high. It is on these days that the stress, frustration and overwhelm of living with diabetes can be at an all-time high.
You may be experiencing what is known as diabetes burnout.
The emotional burden of living with diabetes is often overlooked as health professionals focus only on blood sugar values, test results or counting carbohydrates.
As a diabetes dietitian that takes a whole health approach with diabetes care, I want to share my favorite mantras that you can use to combat burnout.
Whether you have been battling diabetes for 6 months or 6 years, these mantras for success are meant for you!
A mantra is a word or short phrase that holds significance. They can be repeated out loud, recited internally or written down in a journal depending on personal preference.
Mantras are a powerful tool to help focus the mind, raise self-awareness and center thoughts, emotions and feelings.
Mantras are believed to bring about positivity, encouragement and improved well-being, especially during difficult or challenging times.
Use mantras when seeking encouragement, inspiration or handling a challenging moment to maintain a positive mindset.
Mantras can be especially helpful during moments of stress, anxiety or self-doubt. Repeating your chosen mantra will allow you to navigate these challenges with greater resilience.
Many clients find it helpful to incorporate mantras into their daily routine by reciting in the morning or practicing before bed.
