Learning to LOVE yourself

Why rosacea and love?

Rosacea is not fun it does not have a lovable bone in its body.

It constantly drains energy and causes angst among it’s suffers and those around who see and feel the agony of those who have this rash on their face.

But that is exactly my point. So bear with me for a moment while I unfold this idea for you. Because you will find that your feelings and emotions have a great deal of relevance to this and in fact any other disease.

You may have heard or believe the idea of the “mind body connection”

Well it seems to be pretty accurate when it comes to my cure from rosacea because as I went through the process of changing some of my thinking about myself and saw that in many ways I had really bad thoughts about my self and therefore my behaviour seemed to reflect that with inappropriate diet and sometimes to much alcohol and a kind of malaise depression that would engulf me .

So change became inevitable. I

How do you overcome the feelings and emotions related to rosacea?

The ones where you feel downcast and or just a bit hopeless because the rash is not going away no matter what you do?

What I began to understand as I investigated my cure from rosacea was that I had to change my mind about a lot of things. Not the least being how I felt and thought about myself and how I treated myself. Even when the rash was there as I awoke to a new day with the same rash.

I had to change my mind!

It wasn’t that I thought a few nice things and whammo rosacea gone or anything as simplistic as that. What I read about the mind body connection and healing (especially from people who had cancer) was that you had to start loving yourself and treating your body with the same respect… ( rosacea or no rosacea).

I know it wasn’t and still isn’t the easiest thing to do, but the payoff has been fantastic as it is part of the whole package of my cure. One of learning; making mistakes and then learning some more, because I knew that to cure rosacea there isn’t a quick fix, I knew I couldn’t take a pill or rub on some cream and it would go but I knew I could do it if I put all the aspects of my research into action together. And self love is part of that. Depression at whatever level be it stress related or a long term deep feeling is a suppressant for the immune system and if you read my book you will see the whole cycle explained. http://www.cureyourrosacea.com

The best was a positive attitude 24/7. Not just occasionally or every now and then, but all the time even when I had a flare up.

So that my attitudinal healing became a habit; a good habit, one where I became happy to carry out the tasks I’d set myself for my cure and not give into feelings of despair. I made a choice.

In short I learned to calm my emotions and love myself.

There is so much that has been researched and written about the mind/body connection and the power of a good attitude to heal, both in the mainstream hospitals and in the natural healing clinics.

One of my main sources of information and guidance has been the Mayo Clinic in America which you can easily look up on the net yourself.

Does all this take practise?

Of course it does!

Daily every day until it becomes a new habit

I have heard it said that we have to repeat a new habit every day for a month for a change to come into play

You will at some stage find a new life and at some stage even be grateful for the experience of rosacea, if like me it bought you to a new understanding of yourself.

But we won’t jump that far ahead. Just know that you can heal and there is a way out.

Cheers and all the best with your cure

Anxiety and Rosacea

For many years the first thing I would do when I woke up was look in the mirror.

And I guess it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess what happened next. First I saw the rosacea on my face, then I would spiral down to a state that was a mix of anxiety disappointment and anger. Upon those feelings I’d go to my large screen TV and play games or go to the kitchen and be rude to which ever member of my family just happened to be there.

Then just to reinforce my mood I’d check a few times during the day. Just in case a miracle had occurred. I remember when I stopped doing the mirror thing and .much to my families delight stopped blaming them for my anxiety and my rosacea.

There is a sense of freedom in my life now that I have stopped being so anxious about this disease.

The reason of course is that I decided at that point to take responsibility and change things for myself. I took a course of action, one I had researched over many years and began to make a lot of sense to me. I have followed this “path” in a fairly strict way
And as a consequence discovered much about how the body works.
In discovering that I am responsible for my rosacea and its cure and that I could not sit around waiting for a doctor or research scientist to come up with a pill or a potion, I was able to then take action.

So one of the first things I did was to work on my anxiety levels and stop doing some of the habitual things, like mirror watching and give myself a chance to heal.

I discovered it was whole body healing that takes rosacea away. And that of course included how I thought about myself and my life.
Removing what I call rosacea anger/anxiety, I began the process of self respect again and looked more closely at my relationships and my career.

Good luck and cheers to all
