Health as progress, not perfection

Old mindset: My health isn’t perfect, so I must be failing

New mindset: I should celebrate any progress because health is a cumulative build over a lifetime

Prevention, instead of reaction

Old mindset: If it isn’t broken yet, don’t fix it

New mindset: I am making choices to invest in my health

Sustainable habits, instead of quick fixes

Old mindset: I should see fast results if I try this new diet, drug, etc.

New mindset: I am building a toolbox of skills to address my health. Consistency is key

Nutrition as fuel, not as punishment

Old mindset: I must diet because I haven’t been good about my health lately

New mindset: I am nourishing and treating my body with good food

Exercise as fluidity, not rigidity

Old mindset: I must follow a strict regimen to get the physique I want

New mindset: I can build a rhythm and routine that works best for my physical and mental health

Chronic conditions as multi-factored, not just lifestyle

Old mindset: Diabetes is self-inflicted. People with the disease are the only ones to be blamed

New mindset: Diabetes is deeply influenced by genetics, age, ethnicity, social determinants, and other medical conditions

Holistic care over symptom-management

Old mindset: Focus on treating symptoms and looking for results

New mindset: Focus on treating the whole person: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually

Compassion, not judgment

Old mindset: I judge myself and others for having certain conditions

New mindset: I accept myself and others and hope to improve our conditions
