Psoriasis often causes feelings of shame and embarrassment, of wanting to hide. My guest today is here to share about her journey with psoriasis: the ups and downs.
My guest today is Reena (aka Psoriaris_Thoughts). I found Reena on Instagram where she bravely shares her personal journey living with psoriasis. She's not just inspiring... she's also kind and real.
Joining us from Canada, Reena is very candid about the ups and downs as well as what has helped her find peace living in her skin.
Honestly, her approach to life can resonate with anyone living with pretty much any type of skin rashes.
Join us as we discuss how your state of mind and how you see yourself -- either as a victim or hero of your story -- can impact the quality of your life.
Have mindfulness and lifestyle changes helped your psoriasis? Let me know in the comments!
In this episode:
- Reena's story of living with psoriasis
- How Reena treated her psoriasis when she was in high school
- Insight for people who are struggling with how they view their bodies because of their chronic skin condition
Quotes
“I've written a lot of poetry about that. My body's my enemy, my body's other, my body is something that's betrayed me, that doesn't love me back.” [7:39]
“So your heart, your body, your mind. It's like this trio of buddies. And we can take care of each part of ourselves and really start to feel great. So when I started giving my body what it needed, I find that my skin is much easier to live with.” [10:04]
