change your hair change your negative mood

Your girl got a perm and I am absolutely loving all of it's big curliness!! "We always want what we don't have" and in this case for  me it was kinky hair. I've always related changing my hair to changing my mood. When I'm feeling shitty the thing I turn to is to change it up with my hair. I have this magical perception of myself that I'd instantly be in a better mood after I make some sort of hair change. It really does help me get out of a funk and I channel this whole new self. When I've changed my hair and I'm still in a slump there's nothing else to change but my attitude towards the situation. When I'm being negative that's a warning sign to GTFO of it pronto! Being negative has never solved and evolved to better things. What I've realized is to channel everything in me to work towards a healthier mindset and to stay in a slump for as little time as possible. I am stronger than I think I give myself credit for and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise.   

internal vs. external

Every day seemed to be a battle to face. I lost all interest in the things that would regularly make me happy. I wasn't getting immediate results with the goals I was working towards and became easily discouraged. I had to take a step back and reevaluate my life and what I really wanted out of it. All I really want is to truly accept myself for all that I am on good and bad days. I realized all the goals I was working towards were all materialistic and external factors, what should matter the most are my internal qualities that make up the core of who I am. I think it takes a lot to press the pause button and really humble yourself, another positive goal to work towards but also a challenge.
