<strong>SOADI</strong> FRONTLINE TRAINING 30 We mustn’t let stress build up and rule our lives. We can never underestimate the power to choose the way we react. We can choose to maintain a positive frame of mind. Start with positive self-talk: • I can do it! • I am open to new ways. • I have control of my life. Symptoms of Diabetes-Related Stress Some signs of diabetes-related stress are: • Blood-glucose increases. • High blood pressure. • Fatigue. • High pulse rate. • Dilated pupils. • Shallow breathing. • Sleep disruptions due to an inability to relax. Prolonged stress can lead to: • Feeling tired (“burnout”). • Depression. • Over- or under-eating. • Illness and accidents. • Headaches. • Smoking and drinking. • Muscle tension. • Heart attacks. Finding ways to relieve stress will be your own worthwhile personal journey. A few ideas to reduce stress include: • Good blood-glucose control. • Drumming and singing. • Eating healthy, balanced meals. • Smudging with sweetgrass, sage, or cedar. • Praying to the Creator or a higher power. • Participating in healing circles. • Meditation or yoga. • Speaking to an Elder. • Walking.
<strong>SOADI</strong> FRONTLINE TRAINING 31 • Dancing at a pow wow. • Joining a support group. • Reading. • Learning to say no (setting boundaries). • Positive self-talk. • Live one day at a time. • Humour—laugh often. Laughter is one of the best medicines for relieving stress. It lowers your blood pressure, your heart rate becomes more regular, and stress decreases. It is important to remember to enjoy life and embrace it for what it is—a wonderful, but at times a stressful, journey.
