Challenge Your Perspective

As we grow up, we constantly change our looks, places we live, values we hold. That move-the transition-can be butterflies in the stomach exciting. We see these transitions like graduating, moving somewhere new, or traveling as an opportunity to tweak who you are to the new people you meet and leave behind the person you were before. Let it be known that losing your hair can be seen the same way. Create and harness that excitement! Like a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly, you can incubate yourself and find the best way to feel safe and confident until you can emerge to your own form of butterfly. It is a transition into the new you. Alopecia is a chance to recreate yourself into a form only you will know is possible. “It’s not that easy,” you’re saying to yourself. I know. Recognize that this process is a thousand small steps. Sometimes forward, often times back, but the outcome of the journey is up to your determination. The seeds you plant today, can be nourished day by day until the result is an awe inspiring creation that you have personally put work into. “Seeds?” What seeds?” The seeds are the goals of what you want to achieve, the person you want to be.

Consider these questions:

1. What do you want?

2. Who do you want to become?

3. What negative thoughts are you planting that can be changed into positive thoughts?

4. Who are those thoughts projected upon?

5. How can you manifest your best self?

Do you notice a trend in how you’re thinking about yourself and what kind of reactions you are getting from people who surround you? How does it make you feel? Are you willing to shift your perspective?

Instead of avoiding yourself in raw form, IMMERSE yourself into this new self-expression. Take a dive into the cool, revitalizing waters of change! Let your fears wash away and come up for a fresh breath of authenticity. This positive perspective is up to you. What kind of seeds will you sow?
