Five in the morning is when my subconscious mind\u00a0decided to wake me with this gnawing reminder, “You did something stupid yesterday.”<\/p>\n

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the clock then tried to roll over and fall back to sleep when, “Oh wait!\u00a0 I did do something stupid yesterday!”\u00a0 And with that I was wide awake and ready for the day.<\/p>\n

Though my subconscious mind’s\u00a0mocking words were meant to\u00a0scare and protect me from\u00a0ever doing anything stupid again, what\u00a0she didn’t know is that\u00a0she was playing right into–what I like to call–my “defusing my stupidity” plan.<\/p>\n

Allow me to explain.<\/p>\n

After making the stupid decision to get bangs yesterday… Bangs.\u00a0 I love bangs on others which is what\u00a0got me into this predicament in the first place–dadgum you Pinterest–but I had forgotten how much I hate them on me.\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 Anyway after I returned home, no longer drunk on Pinterest dreams, I took a sober look at myself and thought, “Okay, well now what?”<\/p>\n

Coming up with the plan to wear my hair pulled up with a headband securing my bangs\u00a0against my head\u00a0for 3 maybe 30 months seemed reasonable enough but I never expected it to change my entire life!\u00a0 Ok so that might be a little dramatic but also kind of true.<\/p>\n

Allow me to explain.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0four months now.\u00a0\u00a0Four long months.\u00a0 I’ve been begging myself to start working out again, every time\u00a0receiving\u00a0the same Scarlett O’Hara response, “I can’t think about that today.\u00a0 I’ll think about it tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

But for some reason my ponytail, headband plan awoke a memory in me\u00a0that left me wanting to shout, “Down with tomorrows! I’m working out today!”\u00a0My ponytail, headband plan reminded me of when I was a workout beast, proudly sporting that ponytail, headband look everyday.\u00a0\u00a0And I wanted that back.<\/p>\n

One of the sayings posted on my kitchen’s vision wall tells me that,<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And I guess the same can be said about a powerful hairdo\u00a0(or whatever else makes one feel powerful)\u00a0because today–after four long months–with ponytail and headband in place, I got up and did my workout.<\/p>\n

But shhh.\u00a0 Don’t tell my subconscious.\u00a0 Her mocking, scornful words wake me up so much more efficiently than my alarm ever could.<\/p>\n

And she doesn’t have a snooze button.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Bobby pins and buns will also be playing a significant role in my 3 maybe 30 month plan<\/em>)<\/p>\n
