People talk all the time about someone and their new looks; rather it'd be a hairstyle choice or a current workout they are trying out that makes something about them glow. It's something we as the human species like to call minor change. Minor change is a healthy routine that individuals need to face to basically survive in a sense, but what about complete changes? What if that one focused workout became a whole picture or that hairstyle changed to a hair cut? What if you move from one state to another? Those are big changes but they are sometimes even more healthy than those minor ones.
So currently I am writing about changes because well, honestly because I am personally changing. I had a situation take place that opened my eyes to change my so average self into a hot mess - if that is the terms we should use. I am honestly just so tired so with the help of my best friend and pinterest, I'm changing. I'm changing a lot and it includes cutting 4 inches of my hair off. I was advised to do squats both with and without the weights, and I'm changing my food habits. I even picked up the new hobby of indoor salon tanning (Careful and read through every inch of paper when it comes to this). I'm changing because it's time to find a new me.
Below are a few steps I have found to be useful for this...
1.) A New Coat Doesn't Always Have to be Orange...
Like I mentioned above, tanning is an okay thing for change just find a routine that isn't only safe but right for you and your body. I personally go every two to three weeks just so the aging process isn't as extreme as someone who goes once a week.
2.) The Hairstyle Doesn't Always Have to be Long...
Hair grows... and grows.. and well grows. If you cut it for a change, don't be scared because remember it always grows back. The other piece of advice I am sharing here, is once you pick a style you like, don't make it your main cut for the next ten years. This idea of change is supposed to be an idea of a healthy, fresh you but also don't jump in head first and change the hairstyles drastically or too often either. Take it slow and just remember it all grows back.
3.) Don't Go Too Far...
In some cases change might be a new wardrobe. With this, don't jump in too deep either because it's not exactly the best idea to spend hundreds of dollars on items that don't even make you happy. If you really want to go full on out and revamp your wardrobe, shop low. TJ Maxx and Ross are two great places with affordable yet cute items. Also and if you must, watch for sales at name brand places or even go out of your way and normal routine to go to an outlet mall.
The most important thing is though, when I say don't go too far, I'm meaning don't spend hundreds of dollars to change or make it where it's a constant idea of life. The important thing to always remember is to stay true to yourself and know that if you do make any changes at all, it's for YOU. Nobody else, you.
I hope this helps out in the brief article it was. Good luck and remember to stay the you you are.
