Finding ways to work out comfortably and safely with my new pump system!

The past couple of days I’ve found myself frustrated using this new pump because of the awkwardness of it when wearing certain types of clothing. I either have a big bump, it presses into my underarm area in the car, there’s no real comfortable way of wearing it when wearing a one piece outfit.
The story goes on. And I let myself feel the frustration and notice my thoughts of “poor me” for a bit. And THEN I chose to shift my perspective to what this pump system IS doing for me. I am more at ease knowing it will alert me before I get too low of glucose levels, being able to go about my day more seamlessly, and avoiding hypoglycemic seizures. And it corrects if glucose levels are rising, preventing long term future problems. So…acknowledging the crap can mean going through the anger, bargaining, and sadness in order to get to surrendering and acceptance. And the faster I get from one to the other, the better my life is! And who doesn’t want to live a life more peacefully??

Before starting Hypnosis for myself, I never knew how to get past old feelings of unforgiveness. I was living with continuous guilt and shame, fear and mistrust.
My coping mechanisms were to put up walls and to constantly try to prove that I was always right. I felt inferior and controlled by my thoughts, continually worried about what others thought of me.
