Self acceptance - Always!

Self acceptance - Always!

So a lot of people have given me compliments on my new hair cut, asked me how and why I did this, and also a few have said that it’s a big thing!

Yes, I’ve been thinking of this for a long long time. Did not have the courage to get a short hair cut done.

Thoughts that kept me from getting this short hair cut.

1. I’ve put on weight, might not look good

2. I have round “chubby” (that’s what my sweet husband calls me) face and it might not look good

3. What if I have to wear India’s, it might not go well.

4. My gray hair will be seen. (I have got a lot of grays! Maybe 80% of my crown)

August has always been a special month - my mom's birthday, my nephew's birthday, and my Fofoo’s birthday as well.

I decided that I should let go of this whole self-judgment, learn something (about self) and unlearn somethings.

From the time we have been working from home - thanks to COVID- 19 I’ve been super busy, business is growing and kids at home.

I did not comb my hair more than 4 times in the last 4 months. Not even when I took a head bath, my hair was a mess!

Decided to chop them off and let go of everything that was holding me back.

When the stylist cut the first bit, my heart was racing and then I felt a deep sense of relief and pride!

It felt like a big weight was off my chest! I felt so confident as though I had accomplished something.

I sat there for about 10 minutes thinking of everything I had told myself and believed about my flaws.

We all judge ourselves so much... I decided to only love myself, love the flaws, love the flab, love the grays!

Today I started meditating again and reading( which I love doing) and the book that I am reading is “ego is my enemy”

I am ready to grow and to take care of my mental health, and I hope I can truly be there for people who are dealing with self-judgment.

A stronger mind is a stronger body. Mind-body and soul - everything else later!
