In this episode of the Mind Body Beauty Show we’re digging a little further into the emotional side of dealing with acne.

We chat about:

• Dealing with the inner critic and learning to love and accept how you are right now and where you are on the journey
• Managing expectations and constantly shifting your attention, looking for things that will make you happy
• What self-acceptance is really all about
• Can you accept yourself with acne?
• Wanting everything to be perfect before you can love yourself, move on and live your life
• Putting things off until you heal your skin
• Where do you start with self-acceptance?
• Becoming more aware of your thoughts, especially when you’re talking down to yourself
• Watching your thoughts, realising they are not necessarily true
• Choosing to replace anxious, picky thoughts with something kind
• Treating yourself the way you would a friend who was in your situation
• Resolving fears around acne returning once you have clear skin
• Stepping away from the mirror and stepping away from the thoughts to deal with fear and anxiety
• Fear is a choice and stopping it from spiralling out of control
• The real work in clearing acne is in the emotional healing
