You guys! LET. ME. TELL. YOU. WHAT!!! A sister got herself some braids and she is a new woman! Yes, ma’am! I am in complete love with braids! They are officially my go-to spring and summer hairstyle. The ease and convenience of them have been one of the best things for me. Not that I live a busy life or anything, but simply putting them into my jumbo bonnet at night, and waking up, taking off the bonnet, and going is something to be appreciated. I’m just saying.
Not only has having braids been a huge time-saver, but it has also been a major confidence boost as well. I have legitimately been owning my magic these past few weeks ladies. I know you know the feeling I’m talking about. You know when you just leave the nail salon, or the hair salon or buy a new outfit that fits you in all the right places. Yep, that’s the one.
Having braids reminded me that this kind of confidence is something that should be exercised all of the time. We have it in us but the cares of life will sometimes suck it out of you. As women, we have a tendency to give and give and not refill ourselves with the good things that we love. This is why we have to constantly be just as aware of keeping our cups full and pouring back into us, so we can continue to fill others. When we do that, not only are you giving from your abundance, but the abundance is full of love and joy because you are giving from a good place. You aren’t stressed or pulled in five million directions or feel the need to give out of obligation.
The goal is to fill others from your overflow. That being said, go get your nails done ladies. Go get your hair done. Read your bible. Take that bath in the middle of the day because you feel like it. Buy that lipstick in the shade you’ve been wanting to try. Or simply light some candles and put on your favorite music and just relax. This doesn’t have to be a difficult or expensive thing. Something that I actually want to do is start to read my bible every day. That is a HUGE factor in my life. I will save this for another blog post. I just encourage you to start that flow of consistent fill-up. You deserve it.
