#135: Why You Should Do It Scared with T1D

My guess is, there are a lot of things you want to be able to do in your life T1D, but you don't do them because your fear gets in the way. Maybe you want to go hiking, or go camping, or travel to a foreign country.

But... You've convinced yourself that these activities are too scary or dangerous. And because you have T1D, they're off-limits. What if, just maybe, this isn't true?

The only way to change the story is to prove yourself wrong and lead with action.

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about how your behavior impacts your emotional health with T1D. Most people allow their emotions to control their behavior, and they won't change their behavior until their emotions change. These are the folks who feel stuck in their lives with T1D. When you lead with action, you take back control of your behavior (safely of course) from your emotions. In this episode, you'll learn about the Lead with Action framework and how to use it in your life with type 1 diabetes.
