Taming the Diabetes Stress Reflux (How to do it once and for all)

Taming the Diabetes Stress Reflux (How to do it once and for all)

Even though I have lived with type 1 diabetes for over 20 years and have dedicated my life to helping other diabetics master and overcome their challenges with this disease, I do not profess to have this thing figured out. What I can tell you is that even if I “can’t figure it out” everyday I do have the power to choose how I respond to the ups and downs. This inner strength is all you need overcome even the biggest diabetes struggles. 

You always have two options:
RESPOND or REACT
 
Reacting is like a reflux. It is quick, impulsive, without thought and emotional. It can be aggressive and cause a snowball effect of more reactions causing unlimited suffering. Reactions are unconscious, meaning you don’t choose to react your unconscious mind does. 
 
Responding on the other hand, is conscious, meaning you have choice. It is calm, intentional and assertive. Once you respond from a clear place, the drama is over.
 
I think it's safe to assume that most of us would like to respond to type 1 diabetes from a calm place but instead we react without thought. Every time we have a negative experience in regard to type 1 diabetes this re-circuits the brain to make future freak outs more likely.
It’s no wonder so many type 1 diabetes report higher levels of anxiety and depression. 
 
Yoga tradition maintains that negative thoughts proceed negative behaviors.
The mind holds onto negative experiences more readily than positive ones.
​It takes about 10 positive experiences to overcome 1 bad experience.
I'm here today to show you how to overcome your learned behavioral refluxes which turns into diabetes chaos!
