“It all depends on how we look at things,
and not on how they are themselves.”
~Carl Jung

Are you willing to get uncomfortable,

to completely reverse your diabetes?

Life is like a long, muggy summer; we seek comfort. Why?

It’s natural to dislike being uncomfortable, we take the path of least resistance and do what’s most “comfortable”.

Comfort comes in many forms, like old slippers, or a good friend, but have you ever considered that what brings you the most comfort, might be the way you see yourself? The stories you tell yourself about yourself?

Imagine this:

You want a “magic bullet”; a drug, a supplement, or quick fix diet that will cure all. You don’t want to face the pain of being accountable to your choices. Because you don’t want to get uncomfortable and confront the symptoms, that’s exactly what you end up with – discomfort and pain.

The person in that internal battle is fighting against the way they see themselves, and the reality of what they’re creating in their life.

It’s what many people go through during pre-diabetes and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. Did it sound familiar? (it does to me, I went through it)

Have you grieved for the loss of your once well functioning body?

Grief is uncomfortable, however:

The only way to improve anything is by doing what is uncomfortable, yet necessary.

When I say uncomfortable, I’m not just talking about changing physical habits, like your diet and level of physical activity and fitness, though those are important too.

I mean being willing to be emotionally uncomfortable.

Ask yourself these questions, don’t settle for the first answer that pops into your head, dig deeper:

• Are you willing to fully accept the positive and negative consequences of your actions?
• What are you now willing to do to cure your diabetes that you weren’t willing to do before?
• What are you now willing to not do that you have been doing?
• Are you now willing to think differently?
• And who would you be without chronic illness?

Are you feeling uncomfortable yet?

Would you be more comfortable if you could stop taking insulin shots, stop taking strong drugs with mood altering side effects, stop losing your vision, and no more pins and needles? Because a new lease on life is the benefit of getting uncomfortable short term.

Are you willing to get temporarily uncomfortable for that kind of payoff?

Here’s another question, and I want you to know, it should make you uncomfortable. Why?
Because discomfort is the path to change. It’s the path to finding an answer to the question, “There’s got to be more to life than this, right?”

Don’t settle for the easy answer. Be willing to be uncomfortable enough to admit that the true answer may not be what you want it to be.

Watch your knee jerk reactions, and question if it might be something deeper.
