For National Diabetes Awareness Month, we’re doing a special five-part Mental Health series with friend of the pod, Mary Mosier.

We’re kicking it off with Part 1: Practical Advice About Therapy (English).

Be sure to check out our new page at DiabeticsDoingThings.com/mental-health for more!

In this episode, Rob talks to Mary about:

• What is mindfulness? Mary simplifies mindfulness to staying present and being present in the moment.

• How to connect with your body in small ways through your five senses especially when you’re overwhelmed with Diabetes or life.

• Practicing non-judgment around Diabetes is recognizing that Diabetes exists in a state of ebbs and flows. It’s okay for your relationship with your diabetes to fluctuate

• Some mental health resources mentioned in the episode:
