Resilience is the word of the day! Also “struggle” because I seem to have said it a lot in this video.
I think we all have times when we wish we had more resilience. Mental resilience to deal with the ups and downs of life. More resilient skin to bounce back from breakouts and reactions or to hold its firmness as we age. More resilient nails that don’t bend and tear, more resilient hair that doesn’t split and break. More overall physical resilience as we head deeper into communicable illness season would be nice too.
I’ve been going through a depressive slump lately and thinking a lot about what it means to be resilient. I wanted to share my thoughts with my fellow Type A depression sufferers who get to live with both the suffocating fog of depression and the overachiever inner voice berating ourselves when we’re having a hard time getting through it. Thought it would also be a nice time to throw in some of my favorite 2023 beauty products too, organized around the theme of resilience!
