Daily positives

Daily positives

Hi everyone, will so much happening atm i think nows a good time to try to find some positives in the day. i know how extremely challanging this might be on some days but even if its something as simple as reading a chapter of your favourite book, doing a study session, making a cup of tea and sitting outside, painting your nails, washing your car or whatever might come to mind. it really doesnt have to be big.

i would encourage everyone to just pop in here and write each day something/s good that has happened for you in the day!

I was wondering about my occasional compulsion to cut my hair.

I use to have long blonde hair, but I took to it with a pair of kitchen scissors 2 years ago, and about every 6 weeks I give it another hack. Especially when I’m stressed.

I stumbled across this:

”Dr. Lauren Appio, a psychologist and career coach in Manhattan told Lifehacker, a short haircut can actually help to renew a woman’s sense of self-assurance after suffering a setback.

“I’ve found that people typically have an impulse to cut their hair after they’ve experienced stressful situations, positive or negative, where things have felt somewhat out of their control,” she says. “Making a significant change to your appearance can be soothing because you can see the immediate results of your actions, which reminds you of the power and agency you have in your life.”

@Glisten

I love to buzz cut my hair but when I do so I get questioned about my mental health. However I find that haircut so freeing

In response to: Re: Daily positives

Re: Daily positives

that is an interesting theory @Glisten

many people seem to change their appearance after a significant change

Re: Daily positives

Oh my gosh @Oaktree. They were almost the exact words I used when someone asked me how I felt about cutting my hair off.

”I felt liberated!”

Since I was child no one saw me, it was always my bloody hair.

Like the ability to have long blonde hair is an achievement grrr.

It’s just economics. Cost less not to cut it and go to the beach.
