HOW TO NOT BREAKOUT OVER A FLAT TIRE...

CONTROLLING ACNE IN CHICO, CA    AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

It's day four of my road trip through the Pacific Northwest. So far, I've forgotten my purse with all my money, credit cards and passport in a restroom in which I had to drive back 2 hours to get. I've had a dead battery and a flat tire. Both the battery and the tire occurred in remote locations. In an attempt to prevent totally freaking out, and thus, breaking out, I've been exercising the Zen portion of my brain, which can be particularly challenging when your body is yearning for a big bowl of sustenance.

There's been a lot of deep breathing and snacking my way to tranquility - waiting for the Zen vibe to dominate me. As I crawled out of my tent to a lopsided truck this morning, I took some deep breathes, ate an apple with almond butter, took my B and C vitamins to support my adrenals, pulled out the manual and then proceeded to finesse my tire (that's not me in the photo - I was peaceful, not radiating joy).

Learning to manage stress can be one of the most difficult challenges, but can be an enormous help in controlling acne. When you feel the crazies sneaking in... just breathe.
