I want to share with you the biggest physical transformation I’ve made throughout my life.
For those that don’t know I had long hair for 15 years. (I’m talking about shoulder length glorious locks of love)
Now I didn’t really have any major intention when I started growing it out of high school except that everyone had short hair.
I guess you can say I wanted to stand out from the crowd.
Well over the years it definitely seemed to fit my free spirited vibe, and I felt the longer my hair got the wilder I became. (picture a long hair party guy who drove an animal print party bus)
Anyhow I finally hit a point in my life where I began making strides with my personal growth and I no longer felt the hair fit who I was / who I was becoming.
However making the change was easier said than done as I wanted to cut it for probably for about two years prior to actually doing so.
I often felt uncomfortable in my own skin during that time, but I was just scared of cutting it off because I felt like it defined who I was.
When something is part of you for so long it’s not easy to just go about changing it.
Unfortunately you often end up thinking too much about how others will feel about you instead about how you will feel about yourself.
Well after much debate I finally set a date and with the support of my hairstylist I felt the confidence to cut it.
Long story short I cut my hair, moved to New York shortly after, and then eventually became a model.
What I really want to share with you all though is that it’s ok to feel scared of making a major change to your life.
The thing you have to realize is that what you might think defines who you are is most likely the thing thats holding you back from the beauty that lies on the other side of it.
If you desire a change because you don’t feel comfortable in your own skin right now then ask yourself why would you want that feeling to keep defining who you are.
My best piece of advice for anyone looking to make a change is to take some time to align with your vision, put a time stamp on when you want to complete it by, and then bring in the right support to help you create that vision.
Just remember when you choose to base your decisions not on fear of loss, but on love for yourself then the possibilities of life become more abundant than you can even imagine!
Love,
