Day 17: Fresh Haircuts for a New Attitude
You can feel better if your hair looks good
My kids and I have been emotionally and physically drained lately from all the school activity. As good as I was in making good food choices at the party Thursday night, Friday night in Little China Town, Flushing, NY, was a genuine food fest of family favorites and I tasted everything. I have a food hangover and low, low energy.
On Saturday, my son and I go to the gym and drop my daughter off at ballet. My son needs a haircut badly and I use my Mother's Day card to demand it. My daughter has beautiful long hair and requests a hair cut separately from him and I make appointments in the afternoon. Rushing around in the afternoon to do errands, I realize my hair is wild and decide to get a blow out while they get theirs coiffed so we all look good and it is almost Mother's Day.
Somehow the new hairdos put is in a better place and that was the point. Maybe it doesn't take much to get out of a funk i.e., wearing a certain color, listening to music, reading a great book or watching a movie. Whatever it is, it just takes some sort of shift, even a small one can reap great benefits.
