I got a hair cut this week. Like, a SUPER short hair cut. Like, my hair is shorter than my brothers. AND I LOOOVVEEE it. (yes, I know I used the word 'like' alot and such but I needed to get my point across.) Through this whole cutting my hair off process I have learned a lot about the female brain. I thought I would share my thoughts.
**Instead of often doing what we 'want' we consider what everybody else and their momma would say about it before we do it. I have wanted this hair cut for SO long but I did not know how it would be perceived. I did not want to be judged so I just did not do it. Sometimes, we just need to do whatever it is, and not give a rip what anyone else thinks. If we like it, YAY!
**We often think we are much larger than we are and therefore do not do certain things. I told myself for 2 years that I was too fat to have the hair cut. I told myself that if I hit my goal weight I could do it. Well, I have lost a good amount of weight, but I have not quite hit my goal. I still convinced myself(with the help of the two sisters-in-law) to just do it. Here is the thing: I am the size that I am. With hair or without. Magically the hair cut did not change that. Some times we need to realize things are what they are and we don't need to magically make it into something it is not.
**Doing what we have always wanted to do and have been to scared to do is freeing. I have wanted to do this for years. I didn't for various reasons. Now that I have done it. I love it. I feel better about myself just for the simple fact that I took a risk. I realize that not everybody likes my new haircut. That is fine. I like it. And for the simple fact that I like it, I think I will keep it like this for a while. Have no fear. Boredom will hit soon enough and something will have to change. But for now everytime I see myself, I want to pat myself on the back because I did something a lot of people wouldn't have done and it wasn't a totally terrible idea.
**I have had tons of people tell me "I love your hair. I would do it, but......" We as women live in a world of "buts". Sometimes we just need to put the "buts" out of our mind. Most of the time the 'buts' are a ploy of Satan to make us feel less worthy or down on ourself. I am trying really hard to live in a world of less 'buts".
Losing weight did wonders for my psyche' (sp?) but taking control of thoughts has done WWAAYY more. I am really learning to like who I am. Keep in mind, I did not say I was satisfied. I want to be better everyday. But in the process of pushing myself I want to take a minute to realize where I came from and where I am going. Constant evaluation in life is so very important. Learning to love ourselves is too.
