Finding Peace During a Herpes Outbreak: Self-Care Tips
How do you find peace within yourself when your experiencing a herpes outbreak? How do you find peace in your body when it feels as though it’s at war with you?
No matter where you experience outbreaks, here are a few tips to support yourself:
🫧an outbreak is a reminder to take it slow.
🫧Develop a mantra to remind yourself of your worth if you feel stigma creeping in
🫧Create check-in alarms on your phone throughout the day (your new mantra, text a friend, take a walk, take a social media break)
🫧Lean into your community (online & IRL). Community care is just as important as self-care.
🫧Move or stretch your body for ten minutes a day. It will appreciate the love.
🫧Soak in a bath and listen to your favorite music.
