I remember the days where I struggled with keeping positive during these dark times.
I remember the nights where I cried asking why this was happening to me.
Why my body and skin was against me.
I felt like I had no life because my life revolved around my Eczema.
I thought everyone was judging me for how I looked.
Our thoughts have the ability to create our reality.
When I started being more conscious of my thoughts, I started to see more and more healing.
I was no longer a victim of my Eczema.
I started to have a better relationship with myself and my Eczema.
I know I cant always control my flares, but I can control how I react to them.
If I reacted negatively and with anger, the more angry my flares felt.
If I reacted with compassion, the less debilitating and painful my flares were.
We are incredibly hard on ourselves when it comes to healing.
We want things to go well, we want to desperately heal.
We constantly look for ways to heal our skin because we want to live life normally again.
But sometimes, its not about doing all the things to heal or being desperate for healing.
You are a separate entity from your Eczema.
Your Eczema may come and go, but it does not mean anything about you when it is here.
When I started thinking about my journey this way, I stopped making excuses for my Eczema.
But we have to not let those emotions consume us for longer than we need them to.
We have to learn how to control our thoughts.
We have to learn how to create a better relationship with our mind, body and Eczema.
Changing your mindset when healing eczema is challenging, but we have more control than we think.
You have more power than you think.
