How simplicity is working for me.

Simple hair, simple eating, simple life...the only way to go!

I know that its only been a few days, but using purely natural hair products has been a very eye opening experience. My hair is reacting to it in a positive and healthy way. I have already received comments about the thickness of my hair, its luster, wonderful smell, and growth. Also, I had my hair trimmed twice and its almost back to it's pre-cut length. I also noticed that I have a minute amount to no breakage. That has been the best plus of all because it means I am retaining growth.

Since changing my hair regimen and allowing "my hair to do what it naturally does" (as Shaha told me), It has been growing. I am doing less and it is doing more. I cut out all the wild  product experimentation, put away the gel which I used to define my curls but made my hair hard, sought professional help, and learned how to correctly take care of my hair. Since the change, I have started feeling my "growth tingle", my hair is shinier and thicker, it has been easier to manage.

I'm ready to SHINE!

In the process of changing my hair routine, I have changed my diet. I  am currently in the process of detoxing off  meat and only eating vegetables, fruits, fish, and seafood...oh and I can eat a sweet or two. I have also increase my water intake. I am working on a brand new me. Its been hard, detoxing from meats, but it will be worth it. This will only improve my natural hair growth and my health.

Simplicity, its working for me. With my hair, I don't spend as much money on products. I plan on going to Natural Alternatives Hair Salon for treatments with the money saved and just stick with the natural hair care products that will help with my growth. I spend less time trying to figure how to fix it and I am beginning to become less  and less frustrated with the process and enjoy the journey.

By eating healthy, I am helping my body. Cutting portions, keeping a food diary,  and noting my intake, I find that the process is beneficial. I have already spotted that I am an emotional eater and that my body is taking on more calories than it is able to process at night than at any part of the day. This has taught to me spread out my meals more.  I want to be a healthy natural person inside and out.

A complete lifestyle overhaul.

When I started this blog and journey, I didn't expect a complete lifestyle overhaul. I just thought, Oh, I am going to go natural and stick with a hair style...that's it. But I didn't expect  that this change would transition into a a deep spiritual journey and awaking.

I am learning so much about myself. I am learning that I have this beauty, strength, and oneness inside of me that is growing. I am calmer, steadier, more mindful, and stronger. I have noticed a change, an invisible strength,  and patience that I have never had before. My meditations with God are more constant, I am learning to be comfortable with myself, and I have a desire to be healthier. This peace that I have found, I have come very protective of it and tend to stay away from situations or issues that would hinder it in any way.

Its funny that it took me 29 (I'm 30 now) years to get to this point, but at least I am here. My outside has to reflect the rebirth on the inside, and I am taking it one day at a time. Simplicity, wow....it works for me.
