Hello friend,
Welcome back to The Diabetic Toolbox, where we are on a mission to end type 2 diabetes, one family at a time.
Today is Day 12 of our Emotional Eating & Diabetes Course, and we’re diving into a topic that’s often overlooked when building a wellness plan:
Your Mindset.
Let’s be honest—you can’t remake your outside without doing the inner work.
So many well-meaning folks get caught up in the diet merry-go-round, not because they lack willpower, but because their mindset hasn’t caught up with their goals.
Why Mindset Matters đź’
The way you think plays a powerful role in:
- Blood sugar and weight management
- Emotional resilience
- Your ability to stay consistent on this journey
When you begin to shift your mindset, you’ll learn to quiet that inner critic, the one who:
- Tells you you’re not doing enough
- Shame you for eating something “off plan”
- Makes you feel like you’ve failed when you’ve only had a hard day
Mindset is Essential to Holistic Health
True wellness isn’t just about food and movement; it’s also about how you talk to yourself and treat yourself during the ups and downs.
Try These Simple Mindset Shifts:
- Practice self-compassion.
Be kind to yourself when things don’t go perfectly (because they won’t). - Reframe negative thoughts.
Turn “I failed again” into “I had a rough day, and I’ll try again tomorrow.” - Use affirmations.
Say things like: “I am healing and proud of every small step I take.”
