When I woke up this morning and finally emerged from my bedroom, I found this note written on our whiteboard by one of my house mates. I still don’t know who wrote it but I hope the sneeky little fairy writes down a tip every single day because it’s such a wonderful idea and a great way to fill our day with positivity and inspiration.
This quote in particular is something that I’ve been meaning to write about for a few days now. It’s from a book that’s just about become our household bible – Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch.
If you’re not familiar with the book then I highly recommend you check it out. I’m most likely going to be referencing it and drawing off its knowledge in posts in the future. I will not however go into too much detail about the book in this blog post because I don’t think I can give the contents any justice. And I don’t want to freak anyone out by using the word “God” (what I call the Divine Universe).
Now let’s get down to business about why this quote is so significant and how we can utilize it to clear our skin.
A positive mindset is very important when treating your skin, which you may already know. The concept I’m going to be showing you here is just taking that idea one step further.
The thing is, we can get whatever we want but most of us are completely unaware of this and don’t know how to make what we want turn into a reality. I recently wrote a blog post about this topic recently – Want A Healthier Lifestyle? You Can Get Whatever You Want – but for this activity we’re going to make it all a little simpler.
You see, the problem with our mindset when we have acne is that we’re always so desperately wanting clear skin. We’re constantly telling ourselves “I WANT clear skin” and “I WANT my acne to go away”. Now imagine there is a genie standing in front of you that is going to grant you every command that you give. If you say “I WANT clear skin” and this were to become a reality, then you will be spending your lifetime “wanting” clear skin. Get it? Let me explain in more detail.
The very act of wanting something is only going to create and fuel that desire of wanting. Whatever you actively think, believe and act will become a reality. Right now you’re thinking, believing and acting that you have bad skin and that you want clear skin. So you’re in effect making your journey a lot harder for yourself. Now let’s try something a little different.
Instead of saying “I WANT clear skin”, I want you to try saying “I HAVE clear skin” and “my skin IS beautiful and clear”. The first step is to think it, then begin to believe it, then act it. And I can guarantee you that it will make an unbelievable difference.
Don’t believe me? Then I challenge you to give it a go. It doesn’t cost anything, it doesn’t take any time, and the worst it can do is make you feel better about yourself and your skin. So for the next seven days I want you to change every “WANT” thought about your skin into an “I HAVE” thought. And at the end of the seven days I want you to let me know if you’ve seen any improvements in your skin because I bet you will!

Thanks for the post Fran. I’m always in an optimistic, clear mind after your posts, especially this one! It changes peoples perspectives and outlook on life. I’ll definitely try to be in a positive state of mind from now on!
Joanne that’s such a lovely comment, thank you for responding
This is great. Tapping into our mindframe to give it a better turning of it’s wheels is important to let us know just how something works. Another thing I find is that people whine about wanting clear skin yet they just don’t deserve it sometimes, and they still complain about the teeniest tiniest things. They really jsut send out this negative and annoying vibe to people around them, preventing them from thinking with clarity as well. Sounds weird?? I think it’s tru.
This is another top 10 article! Wow, what are you eating Fran?
LAW OF ATTRACTION!!!
lol
I chose to have this mode of thinking while I was healing my skin too. I did a little meditation at night where I would imagine my skin clear and glowing. It works!
check out “The Secret” by Rhonda Bynes
It’s in a movie and book form.
It kinda changed my life lol
but really it helps and kind of like what Frans talking about.
I believe in Law of Attraction & positive affirmations
aww fran you are so inspirational!
Hi Fran,
That was an inspirational article. I am so happy that I found out about this site, it was really by accident. All of your tips and the mini course have helped me alot. My biggest problem is picking. I only do that because I am nervous (you would be too living with my grandmother). As of right now I have a few spots, only because I was picking. Also thanks for introducing me to Bee Yummy it’s great. Do you have any tips for blackheads. I tend to get a lot on my forehead and under my jaw. It’s when I pick them, they get worse. When the few spots I have go away my skin will be at at level that I want it on. Making the blackheads go away would be nice also.
Many thanks,
Ryan
Story Waters is another wonderful author about this type of thing. From him I learned that it’s best to first recognize that having acne is not superior or inferior to clear skin. And it’s also important to know you attract everything and always have and always will, so accept that you chose to experience acne for however long you had it and know that it is okay to have done that, and now that you accept that, you can now in a loving way, “choose” to experience clear skin from now on. Believing that and affirming that was what helped clear my skin, almost instantly I might also add. Good luck everyone! =) xxxx.
p.s. you cannot change your reality until you accept it first (written by Story Waters– You Are God, Get Over It!).
I don’t know if you are referencing this sort of theory but physics has an intriguing explanation for this phenomenon. Check out this great video on youtube:

it involves quantum mechanics and some other concepts…not the most scientific film but very thought provoking!!
love your site
