We all easily recognize a woman who has chosen to age gracefully. She has an effortlessness about her — a freedom. She shuns societal flaws and instead embraces signs of aging as courageous signs of growth. I continue to do all I can to stay mindful of aging, but yet never give up on looking and feeling my best. These are things that I choose to do to help me stay engaged and connected to vitality and health. It feels good inside when we look good on the outside.

For those who struggle with skin issues here are a few thoughts on the topic. According to Louise Hay when our skin is out of balance whether it be from eczema, acne, or psoriasis we are dealing with limiting subconscious thoughts often centered upon: feeling a need to protect our individuality. Having anxieties and fears. Old, buried things. Perhaps even the silent repetitive belief, “ I am being threatened.”

Therefore, when dealing with skin issues — it is important to commit to soothe these deeply rooted beliefs with positive affirmations such as:

* I feel safe to be me.

* I lovingly protect myself with thoughts of joy and peace.

* The past is forgiven and forgotten.

* I am free in this moment.
