Motivation and the right attitude towards your illness are two of the most important in the fight against diabetes. Understand what is important to you, define your values and goals, and then reconsider your lifestyle and start over.
Instructions
Step 1
Has it ever happened that when you woke up in the morning, you wanted to throw the meter out of the window and flush all the tablets down the drain? What stopped you at that moment? Maybe the thought of family and children? Or an inspirational note with motivational strings attached to the refrigerator?
Step 2
What do you need to motivate? To be close to loved ones and just live? Everyone finds comfort close to him, sometimes even in trifles that seem absolutely insignificant. What are others doing, where do they find motivation and joy?
Step 3
Here are some of the responses from a survey of diabetics of different ages and professions:
• I weigh myself every day and look forward to the desired result;
• I grow vegetables in the garden, this is my life and joy, I love digging in the mud;
• I cook constantly, turned a routine activity into a holiday and art;
Step 4
• it may sound silly, but I like to drink water … just drink water, I always carry it with me, I always have several bottles at work and in the car, as well as in and during training;
• I love to change the direction of training: today yoga, tomorrow a pool, it's fun, and most importantly useful;
• my children make me work on myself, how can I otherwise?
Step 5
• I compete with a friend, she also has diabetes. We keep each other under control. Motivation can diminish or disappear under the influence of age, circumstances, relationships, and other reasons. Therefore, try to periodically review your goals and priorities, especially when you feel that you are losing confidence in your actions. Get rid of dark thoughts and stupid prejudices from your head. You can do everything. Your health and joy of life are only in your hands.
