why I'm cutting my hair... (self-image shift HACK)

⭐

for the first time in 5 years... I am cutting my hair much shorter

I know this sounds like a silly thing to share however I wanted to share the deeper aspects and shadow side of how I will leverage it to wire in an inner shift

first off... why did I start growing my hair to begin with?

during covid when we weren't supposed to leave our houses it was not convenient to even get a haircut

plus around that time I hired a branding consultant who recommend I put more thought into my style and hair

I never really considered that I never really cared much how I looked... I just wanted the content to get out there

however that was when I made the choice to grow out my hair

it sounded new and fun to me and honestly at the very least it also felt "on brand" lol

so it started!

I went through many awkward stages to get to where it looked like "me"

once it was a couple years I felt I was "branded" of having long hair and if I went shorter...

it would confuse those that watch me...

so I just assumed.. this is me now

however as time has gone on recently...

I have felt like I have been in a trap of my old self image, an old version of me

I have expanded ALOT over the last year

I've run consistent live events, I do hot seat coaching on stage, I travel more and don't have a home base...

and I feel like a NEW me!

I also feel like if I cut my hair I can reach more people...

I know this sounds superficial and I shouldn't play into it and I should just do whatever...

however I have felt this and the moment people see content they do subconsciously or consciously judge it based on how I look sometimes...

my intention is to reach as many as I can with my message and I feel if I do cut my hair, it does open it up to more people

cutting my hair is a symbol to me of a whole new me emerging

it is a permission slip and a reflection of the inner changes I have already been making

its more of a reflection of my inner changes that have already been emerging

hair can represent many things...

the past, memory, power, vitality etc

and cutting it is symbolic for me of letting go of the past... of a phase or theme that I explored for many years

I used to say... I will NEVER cut my hair or go short again...

however things change and I have always loved change

I can let go of the past me whether I cut my hair or not...

I can embody a new me whether I cut my hair or not

at the core... the message here for me is to let go of an old version of me

to not be attached to how it is perceived

and to remember that I'm doing it for me...

its exciting! I've been going through pinterest looking at options and I haven't landed on a style yet but next week I have an appt set! any suggestions? lol!

I know this may seem like a superficial silly post to make...

but there were aspects of my shadow that came up that I wanted to share

my attachment to the old self image of me, the fear if I change my look people will be confused and unfollow or something, feeling trapped in my old view of myself, etc

the message for me to is do whatever I want and to not make any decision too "important"

ultimately its hair and not a big deal at all...

it's only the egos identification and attachment with it that makes it confusing

have you ever shifted something about your style or appearance and noticed a shift in your energy? what was it and how did it change you?
