Skin Deep


Dear Friends,
Having conducted my parent-teacher interviews with flying colours, I thought, just for the weekend, I put Bill 115 on the back burner and expand my mind, still rummaging through my 'incomplete' reading materials. Big mistake! I should have limited my activities to putting up my feet, with my good old friend Merlot by my side.
According to Perri Lewis' article in the Psychologies Magazines (August 2012), conditions that trouble our skin hold the secret to what's going on inside our body and in our head. Well, according to my mirror, my exterior doesn't scream peace of mind, or joy! The dark circles, the sagging, flaking skin, the fine lines, the deep wrinkles, the sunken cheeks, the reddish cheekbones and one drooping eyelid attest to a very disturbed personality! 
Apparently, my emotions have an impact on my hormones, which in turn affect my skin, which proceed to influence my mood that definitely gives rise to the kind of personality that lets emotions affect hormones. 
To make matters worse, I also came across an article on morphopsychology. According to Dr. Georges Roman, our face is the exit point of our thoughts and emotions! If I were a Californian celebrity depending on my looks to earn a living, I probably could've sued Bill 115 for damages, from the poor house. However, my success as a teacher rests on my commitment to my students - enthusiasm, energy and creativity runneth over.  

The rest of the weekend went something like this; stressing over stressing over the amount of cortisol my harassed mind pours into my strained body that my silly face feels compelled to show!
The only consolation remaining -  my looks don't impact my teaching! Accepted and filed! 
What have you accepted and filed today?
