Last week was a difficult week but on Monday I felt like a weight was lifted physically and mentally.

I have a LOT of hair!!!!! I went for years with stylists complaining about how much hair I had and how long it took; but more recently I have found a stylist who loves my hair and enjoys working with it. On Monday I had an appointment and after 3 hours I walked out feeling relaxed and physically feeling considerably lighter!!!!! It felt like a relief as it had been getting annoying and I’d had to wait for a few weeks for an appointment as well.

That time being looked after also helped with the mentally feeling lighter as well. It seems odd in my current situation to feel that things are getting on top of me and that I’m feeling weighed down but I think that definitely had been happening. I had ended up hibernating at the weekend and this hair appointment really came at exactly the right time.

I tend to get my hair done twice a year. I know roughly when in the year that I go anyway, but I also know when it’s time to go when it’s heavy, unruly and not curling nicely, as well as rather long roots!!!! The husband has to shave his a lot more regularly – this normally happens when I mention that it’s looking fluffy!

It’s quite easy to know when it’s time for a hair appointment but it’s important for us to know when we need to ease the mental load as well. As I often write, this is going to be different for all of us, but being familiar with our tell tale signs and how we can ease our own loads will help us on that good old journey.
