Find support
Never journey alone. Surround yourself with love and support from family, friends, and health care professionals. And remember, you are not alone. Diabetes is common. Consider joining a support group to connect with others who are on the same journey as you are.
Stay motivated
Find your ambition in the improvements you feel. Do you have more energy? Are you thinking more clearly? Focus on what feels good and keep doing what you are doing to get there. (And hey, reward yourself along the way!)
Set goals
Set goals to keep yourself on track and accountable. The key with goal setting is to start small and be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Realistic, and Time-bound. By doing so, you set yourself up to celebrate healthier days along the way.
Prioritize self-care
Make self-care your priority. To succeed, you need to count on the best version of yourself showing up each and every day. Consider things like being well-rested or making healthy boundaries for yourself. It’s about progress, not perfection, so don’t overdo it. Take one step at a time.
Eat mindfully
Be aware of what your body needs (vs. those unhealthy cravings you may want). Eating mindfully can transform your health. It takes practice and patience, but the results will be worth it.
