Describe one positive change you have made in your life.
One day of October 2024, I looked at myself in the mirror and decided I was tired, super tired, of coloring my hair.
Every 3 weeks I was spending more than 2 hours on coloring my natural hair roots. And it seems like a little investment in self-care and happiness, but it was draining me. I had to plan when, how, how long – all year long. And the space it occupied in my head! More time than I can calculate.
In numbers: I had to color my hair an average of 17 times a year. And was using more than 34 hours each year for that. Way more if I count the stress I felt between colorings! Multiply that for 34 years!
Not any more. I took my hours back, even my money. Well not really, they are in the past and can’t be recalled. Going forward I have more time, more opportunities to be happy. Maybe this is the start of Nirvana…
