We’re talking about MINDFULNESS with musical inspiration from P!nk. Mindfulness is a technique adopted to become aware of moment-by-moment thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in a non-judgmental way. ... In the US, mindfulness is increasingly used for eating habits and diabetes management. Research has shown that mindfulness enhances the clinical effect of glycemic control. Mindfulness can help break down the constant cycle of becoming stressed, anxious and depressed. Pressures and strains of everyday diabetes life cause an internal battle of avoidance. People strive to avoid ‘negative emotions’ such as guilt, sadness, frustration, and anger and are attracted to feelings of happiness and contentment. Mindfulness allows you to accept the way you feel rather than constantly battling to try and change it. Guests include Chilbrook Kennels Breeder Author, Diabetes Alert Dog and Scent Detection Expert, Debby Kay, ‘Walking with Peety’ Author Eric O’Grey, Poet Lorraine Brooks, ‘Yoga for Diabetes’ Author, Rachel Zinman, and the Charlie’s Angels of Outreach featuring Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE.  Throughout the podcast, we will feature songs from P!nk’s ‘Beautiful Trauma’ album courtesy of SONY Music.
