Stress Management

(My new pixie - what do you guys think?)

I was at my cousin's salon this weekend getting my hair done when I was told that I was losing a lot more hair than was normal. No new medications, no weird changes with my hair routine... it turns out that stress is the cause. What a slap in the face. I've been trying to hold myself together and put a smile on my face and my body has to go ahead and out me. I haven't been sleeping, I've been having anxiety attacks at night, and now my hair is proving it. I'm using a new tension aromatherapy oil and trying to breathe more. For now, those are the only changes I can make. To hide some of the damage, I went for a pixie. I've wanted to go short again for months anyway, but was thinking of waiting until I went darker so it's not a huge issue for me. In fact, I love it. 

Breathe deep...

Breathe

Do you ever have a rough few weeks and find yourself thinking, if I just had (blank) I would feel better? I do that a lot. I think, all I need is a weekend away or a visit with someone I miss or to quit my job and I'll be better. Getting what you think you need doesn't always fix your issues. I'm just trying to figure out what will. I'm starting by breathing deep.
