Living with Arthritis – Radio Live Interview 19.03.2016 with Cate Grace & Arthritis NZ
And seven of my tips for starting to manage your Arthritis for a positive and happy life!
- Be Ok with asking for help and get a team around you including medical people, an Arthritis Educator fron Arthritis NZ, friends and family, and support person (especially for appointments).
- Book in regular friends and family dates where you and loved ones agree not only focus on your illness
- Focus on what your body does well – stop beating yourself up for what it doesn’t
- Hang out by yourself doing things you like doing
- Give yourself pat on the back for all you did well today
- Drink more water; hydration is a great pain killer
- Move more – start with a few minutes, build up to exercise snacks and focus on what you can do not what you can’t
Keep practicing on your positive mindset
I believe it is the best the way to cope
for there’s no arthritis cure… yet
but there’s a lot that can be done
many small steps lead to big possibilities
and if you positively embrace life with arthritis you can achieve all that you desire
Smiles for a fabulous day & rest of your weekend
