Support and Motivation

If you could take a positive step for their health this spring, what would you say to them? What kind of motivational support would you share? Right. I would definitely have some motivational support because the evidence, my legs, oh, And, you know, well, I smoke. I smoke cigarettes. That's like, really hard. I tried to quit and start to quit. I want to tell people that like smoke or have diabetes like me, you know, like don't give up. Keep trying, take the necessary steps to make you feel better. Because that's really miserable, being in pain like that all the time. So I also suggest going to pain management, because that works, and that'll get you started on walking. I'm the proof. I could barely walk. And I've talked to so many people, and I share my experience with them. And you'd be surprised how many people have sciatic nerve damage. So I didn't feel alone, and I made that person feel like, you know, like, okay, I understand. I've been through that. And what did you do? Okay, we'll try this, you know, so it worked for me. Amazing. Thinking about the kinds of behaviors and attitudes that support good health. Is there one that really speaks to you right now? And why that one? I'm talking about things like, you know, eating well, reducing alcohol, not smoking, you know, these sort of things. Yeah, my smoking. been very stressful. So my smoking is, I think that was, I think that kind of did it. Did I, no wrong or right answers, but my smoking is because I have to go and get my mammogram and check, you know, because I understand that I could get cancer and stuff from smoking so much but I'm very stressful. I'm dealing with a lot of stress but I'm handling it. Okay amazing. What support do you think helps people stay on track with their health goals in the spring season in particular and it could be family, community? Okay. Repeat the question again. Repeat it again. What sort of support do you think helps people stay on track with their health in spring? family support. That really works, because your family see what you do, your behaviors, you know, especially if you live with them. Especially if you, if you, they don't smoke too much. And my daughter really gets on me really bad. Mommy's smoking too much. Okay, well stop stressing me out, I tell her. This cigarette stink. You need to really work on I mean, why are you eating that? You know, you're not supposed to eating that. My close friends, very supportive. You need to quit smoking. Well, just try this. So just maybe not smoke so much like, like less than my cigarette smoking. You know, when you, yeah. Family and friends, that's really in your corner. You know, not those phony friends. Really close family support. It helps, and friends, and friends support. That's really, really nice.
