This subject hits home in so many ways.
In light of my recent family tragedy I thought I would speak a little more about mental health and just self care in general.
On my darkest days during my chronic phase of my autoimmune, doing my skin care routine was sometimes the entire highlight of my day. Just doing something for myself.
And can you imagine how humbling it was to struggle so badly with a disease that’s affects your skin, while being an esthetician? I truly thought the universe was playing a sick joke on me.
But through this struggle I learned to love myself and my skin even more.
Mental health is not talked about enough. Especially in the world of chronic disease. No one really talks about how as much as it is about the body and health, it’s even more about the mindset.
My mindset and having strong mental health is what got me through my hardest days when I wanted to give up.
I share this because we all have our struggles and some harder than others. Reach out to those you love especially those you know who are going through it.
We could all use a little more love and compassion.
