Trust

Last week taught me that I need to listen to and TRUST my body. The human body is an amazing thing. Not listening to it gets us in all sorts of trouble. Not trusting it leads to issues like picking, I think. What does picking have to do with trust? Well, when I pick what I'm doing is exhibiting aggression towards my bumps, blemishes, and scabs. They have a purpose, though. They don't come out of nowhere, and if left alone, they will undergo a transformation. I get super impatient. But what has my impatience and interference ever brought me when it comes to my skin but misery? I've got to trust my skin to do its job, and support it in doing so, by eating right, resting, exercising, and covering it up and/or moisturizing it when it's called for, rather than attacking it in a misguided attempt to "fix" it. My skin is doing just what it needs to. It's time for me to get out of its way.
