Diabetes Health: Transcending the Holidays

Photo by Meruyert Gonullu on Pexels.com

Hi there!

When we think about the causative factors of diabetes and prediabetes, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and diabetes complications, much of them surround food, physical activity, sleep, and stress. Without adequate amounts of each, the body can break down easily and become more susceptible to diabetes complications such as infections (e.g., COVID-19, flu, pneumonia) as well as high or low blood sugar. 

Like others, PWD often rush during the holidays, planning events, cooking, cleaning, preparing for guests, and buying gifts. Often, our health takes a back seat. The key is believing you have what it takes to transcend the holiday experiences, including putting your health at the top of your list.

Remember Who You Are Series #19: Look Beyond the Image.

Hi there!

Have you ever silenced your voice because of someone’s title or the perceived image of an organization? The image of someone or something does not negate the truth. Sometimes, people hide their pain behind their titles, places, positions, and accolades. We must see beyond images and accept the truth. When you embody and express the necessary courage to shine your light on darkness, we hold people accountable for their pain. At the same time, we can encourage them to acknowledge and safely address their unhealed wounds.

Check my Remember Who You Are Series #19: Look Beyond the Image on Create A Generational Love Cycle. I share my thoughts on moving beyond the image and acknowledging and accepting the truth.

Heal from the Inside Out Series #38: Vengeance is not a band-aid or cure. Create A Generational Love Cycle With Timika S Chambers

My mother told me that I did not have to do anything to anybody. Vengeance can be tempting. It’s easy to think that belittling, demeaning, cursing, and physically hurting someone may heal our wounds; however, vengeful behavior only deepens the wound and can change us into something unbecoming (not our true selves). Whatever we consistently think of, we deposit the seeds within us, and these seeds will eventually produce a harvest.Keywordspain, healing, self-expression, vengeance, love, mentalhealth, relationships, personal growth, emotional well-being, self-worthSummaryIn this conversation, Timika S Chambers explores theprofound impact of emotional pain and the weeds of negative thoughts that can hinder personal growth and relationships.

The Seeds We Plant Series #23: Confidence

Hi there!

I hope all is well with you and yours! Where do you draw your confidence from? Are you your source? Coaches? Family members or others? How do you empower your children to feel confident about their lives and the ability to transcend their experiences?

Confidence is knowing that you know what you know. It is consistently seeing beyond your life events and not allowing circumstances to deter you from your earthly mission. You are confident handling life circumstances, including guiding, loving, and protecting your children. 

You are fearless in talking with your children about life events. You encourage them to think for themselves and look beyond what they see. You help your children see the divine power we all have access to by sharing details about your relationship with the Higher Power. You feel confident in sharing how this Infinite Intelligence has helped you. 

You encourage your children to pay attention to the information they receive, whether from their dreams or that “gut feeling.” 

Confidence inspires our children instead of instilling fear. We share our life lessons to help them pass their life tests. We praise our children often for their successes and help them see and retrieve the lessons in their experiences.

My children are becoming more aware of their actions and others. Both of them have recently experienced bullying. And instead of getting angry, they’ve been able to respond to bullying without taking it personally and remaining still during the midst of their storms. They see how the cycle of pain continues when we don’t put our experience in a healthy perspective. My daughter recently told me. “Mom, I took up for her (a friend) and told the kids to stop bullying her. Now, it’s like she’s doing the same thing (bullying) that they were doing to her.” My daughter knew what the girl was doing was wrong and felt confident in telling the girl that if she wanted to remain her friend, she would have to stop her behavior. 

Confident children become confident adults. Isn’t it worth our time to remind our children that they can transcend their experiences?

 See, I don’t see parenting as just raising children but helping them embrace, nourish, and express their divine spirit. 

I share more thoughts about this life-giving virtue in The Seeds We Plant Series #23, Confidence on Create A Generational Love Cycle. Let me know your thoughts. Where do you draw your confidence from? Remember that we often pass on our beliefs to our children. So, in them, we see ourselves.
