Staying focused but, not obessed...my musings.

[shinyblackhair]

Have any of you ladies found yourself thinking all hair, all the time??? For a coupla days there, that was me. However, like they say a watched pot never boils...I kind of think the same sort of thing applies here.

I want to achieve my goal, but I'm not going to stress out over it ('sides, I'll lose more hair that way, lol). What I plan to do, is devise a regime to follow, put it down on my calendar and then do my best to stick to it. I won't obsess and wonder contantly about my hair length and if I'm making progress or not. Whatever length I manage to achieve will be great. My health and personal well-being have to come first. The rest will fall into place.

Anyway, just thought I'd share my thoughts. I love to hear what you ladies think too. One of my good girlfriend always says "beauty is pain, and pain is beauty" I don't agree with that. I think that taking care of myself should be enjoyable and self-fulfilling, not some arduous task I have to do to keep my husband happy. Anywho...that's enough from me for now /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Shineyblackhair, I have to agree with you. And thanks for bringing this up. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I honestly don't have the time to obsess about my hair anymore. At first that is all I did!! I've made a calendar for 2003 and I'm going to follow it. I have products that I'm happy with and a regimen that is working for me. If that changes or needs adjustments I will deal with it then. I'm so very tired of checking to see if my hair has grown or how much outgrowth I have. My main thing right now is my overall health and I'm sure my hair will follow. My only real concern is maintaining my outgrowth with my extended touch up plan for 2003 and finding decent protective hairstyles for textured (nappy) hair. Always looking for pointers ladies from relaxed and natural heads. /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree w/ you Sbh, but I have to admit I have been obessing over this whole hair thing. But, it comes from a deeper place(ex. teasing when I was younger etc..) Don't get me wrong I don't have low-self esteem I got it going on /images/graemlins/cool.gif But, I have something to prove to myself first and foremost and to others. But then again, I'm just that type of person, when I get a goal in my mind(whatever it may be) I head straight for it. Not to say that I'm a complete basketcase over this current endeavor of mine but, I'm making sure my homework is done to achieve my goals.I might think abit differently once I see that I can do this. Because this is one task(if you will) I have not been able to complete, but once I do I will move on to the next goal to be conquered /images/graemlins/grin.gifWhen I think about I think I'm focused and on the brink of obession, but I'm happy there's people like you to keep me in check /images/graemlins/cool.gif
