Managing Stress
Stress management is important when it comes to controlling Rosacea. Not only is it beneficial for the overall health of the body, but it is better for the self-esteem and mindset of the person who must cope. No one should feel like they have to hide from the world, because of blotchy red skin. Depression, frustration and desperation all just the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to the felling associated with this dreaded condition. Of course everyone’s condition is different, but there are things that do work. You have to experiment until you find what works. Everyone’s “happy place” is different. Perhaps distracting the mind by creating artwork, listening to great music, cooking a favorite dish or taking an evening stroll immediately after work will be the perfect way to stop stress in its tracks. Read a book full of positive and uplifting words that can be meditated up and recited, can help ease the mind back into a positive state. Controlling rosacea is a constant battle that must begin with the determination of the mind. There are ways to head off an outbreak before it gets a chance to “flair up’ completely. Take control of it before it gets out of hand.
Sleep and Rosacea
Stress is a lot easier to put in its place when you have had a good night’s sleep. Being tired and sleep deprived has to be an epidemic. All work, no sleep can really wear you down, and cause unnecessary stress. This will not only bring bouts of stress, but create an unstable mental environment that will almost become impossible to control. The more tired you get the less rational and calm you become. Fighting through the day with a lack of sleep only leads to more stress and fatigue. You set yourself up for failure when you do not get enough rest. There may be reason it is called “beauty sleep”.
Mind, Body Connection
Yoga is an excellent practice to help with the “mind, body” connection. Yoga principals are interwoven with the ideas of mental discipline and the positive effects reflected in the outer body. Just as we have learned with stress having the opposite effect, the idea behind yoga is to train the mind so that you become stronger, and capable of creating the life you want to live. Meditation is a simple way to control the pattern of thought while observing what is happening in the mind like an “innocent bystander”. This is a great practice to learn what thoughts “trigger” the stress. Meditation takes a little time to get used to and can be the most powerful mechanism used to control this skin condition. It can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Once the “observer” can see the thought come, it is easier to stare it down like a bull fighter and dominate it, until it retreats in fear.
