I am ALWAYS busy! Does this sound familiar? Aren’t we all? I don’t think I have had a moment of ‘freedom’ since I started my studies in nutrition.
I had a super stressful job in finance too. I was always wired, but honestly, there just wasn’t another way to achieve my dream of helping others with the power of food so I worked and still work my off!
But the stress of it made my eczema to flare up CONSTANTLY. I knew very well that it was stress, yet I didn’t do ANYTHING about it.
I know that you too have priorities, may it be work, family or to pursue dreams of your own. Perhaps ‘all of the above’. In today’s world we don’t just sit around, we work hard and play even harder.
But what about REST? That seems to be completely off the table nowadays.
Your body and soul needs rest to rid itself from tension and lower stress hormones such as cortisol, which is a major aggravator of eczema.
I have learned it the hard way that the only way to get rest is to schedule it in. I make rest a to-do, otherwise there may never be a good time to rest. Rest is not something you need to deserve, you don’t have to work for it.
Simply rest because you make it a priority to look after yourself and your skin.
