The Diaries Of A Sweaty Girl

I really appreciate all of your questions and comments you have given me! It makes me feel great to know that there are awesome people out there and people who have hyperhidrosis out there too! 

I am sitting here late at night with my mind buzzing about so many things. 

The main thing and positive message I want to convey to you all is to just be yourself. Don't be anything else but that. Don't rob yourself of life. 

I talked about this a little bit in my video yesterday about how I am a huge advocate for being confident in your own skin. While there are so many things that might be a little more sweaty about having hyperhidrosis, there are so many GREAT things about living a happy life. 

So many people have asked tips on how to be more comfortable with hyperhidrosis. It is great to feel comfortable and I believe everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin, but there is also something so liberating about feeling a little uncomfortable. Pushing yourself outside of your limits. Standing up and giving a speech in front of a group of people. Blogging even though the sweat is dripping off your hands and onto the computer (me currently) :). Isn't that what life is about? Taking risks and going for something?

It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Go out and get em', you great, sweaty achiever you. 

Thanks for reading!! Have a GREAT week and do something that makes you feel uncomfortable this week!! Let me know how it goes.

"Remember to just take off your coat, and leave it at the door", my mother would call out to me as I left to go out. "Pish posh", I thought. 

I have never fully understood what that meant until now.

You see, we all wear this coat, whether we like it or not. Within this coat contains our insecurities, doubts, fears, the things we don't like about ourselves, whatever negativity we can associate with ourselves-- it's in this coat, and we go out into the world with this coat on. 

Many of us don't even realize we have this coat on, and many others think that others don't have a coat like theirs;  however, we still wear this coat. So, in my insightful mother's words, "just take off your coat, and leave it at the door". 

But it sounds so simple! -- IT IS!

Now this may sound silly, but I challenge you to try it. If you can literally envision all of the negative things about yourself on a coat that you, yourself are wearing, accept that you have one, and then when you go somewhere or do something, envision taking that coat off-- it is incredible. It has helped me become more confident, happy, approachable, courageous, outgoing-- you name it! It is also important to remember that other people wear this coat as well-- one identical to the one you are wearing, but fashioned with different colors, ties, and pins. Then you can do the proper, chivalrous thing and help them remove their coat-- just by having yours removed!

So the next time you freak out about your hyperhidrosis, just remember-- "take off your coat, and leave it at the door". 

Happy Wednesday!

xoxo,
