What does solving a Rubik’s Cube and achieving good Diabetes control have in common ?
- commonly thought to be 'overwhelming', 'impossible' or 'very difficult' to achieve
- many get frustrated with the process and give up (but may come back later to try again)
- often patterns are recognized, and progress is made, or knowledge is learned from 'mistakes'
- believing that it IS solvable is a great motivator (especially when seeing 8year olds master it)
- learning the 'steps' one at a time is more successful than trying to learn it all at one time
- practicing each step for as much time as it takes, results in better success at following steps
- having the right training tools (and equipment) is a great benefit
- sharing with others who are or have already achieved success is motivating
- there are 'simple' rules/tasks, but the combination of situations seems endless, and the same 'move' doesn't always get the same result.
- each can stop at the level that suits them best
