Continuing on from our introduction to our re-vibe detox challenge in 2025 and best practices for your body, we dive into part 2 and the daily practices for your mind.
- Mindful moments – Dedicate 10-15 minutes to calm your mind and practice silence.
Breaking your negative thought loop - Use affirmations and gratitude to shift your mindset from negative to positive - Journaling – Reflect on your day, set intentions, and express gratitude.
- Digital detox – Spend at least an hour unplugged from screens, especially before bed and when you wake up. This will help support your cortisol + melatonin hormone functions.

Affirmations: Why they Actually Work
Affirmations are positive phrases like “I am confident,” or “I can handle this”—might seem like feel-good fluff at first glance. But what if we told you there’s actual science behind this self-talk trend? Think of it as your ultimate cheerleader or a declaration of what you want in your life. Let’s dive into why affirmations work, how they impact your brain, and how you can use them to rewire your mindset and work on your Psycho-dermatology. and body. Created by Dr. Weil - watch our guided tutorial here.
What is Psycho-dermatology?
Psycho-dermatology is the study of how the mind and skin interact. It explores the connection between psychological well-being and skin health, recognizing that emotional stress, anxiety, and other psychological factors can trigger or worsen skin conditions. This field combines dermatology with psychology to treat skin issues through both physical and mental approaches.
Common examples of this mind-skin connection include:
- Stress-induced acne breakouts
- Anxiety-related eczema flare-ups
- Depression affecting skin healing rates
- Emotional trauma manifesting as skin conditions
That’s why we LOVE affirmations at eyeam and created to the “eyeam prescription” to go with every single product. Let’s break it down:
Your Brain on Affirmations: The Neuroscience Breakdown
At the core of affirmations is something called neuroplasticity, your brain's ability to adapt, reorganize itself + create new path ways in the brain. Every thought you have fires neurons in your brain. When you repeat a thought enough, it strengthens the connections between those neurons—like creating a well-worn path in the woods. This is how beliefs are formed, good or bad. Every time you write or say a daily affirmation, you prime your brain to start building this belief in your mind. With consistency, you will begin to create change from within and break the negative thought loop.
But the only way to reap the benefits is daily repetition. That’s why we created a daily habitual method called the “eyeam prescription” to create sustainable change. By pairing affirmations practise with our products it allows you to stack your hack and create an automatic response in your brain to not forget! Use our In my Healing era Affirmation Deck for daily inspo!

“Its the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. and once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.”
