Unlocking the Powers of my Subconscious Mind

Day 30 - Drag You Down❌

What is the one that drags you down?
 
What is the one that puts weight on your shoulders and mentally drains you?
 
Everyone can link something to these questions. But the weirdest answer might be mine.
 
The one that drags me down and gives me mental weight is my hair. Sounds silly, right? But anyone can have such simple things that drag them down.
 
I have coarse, frizzy, yet thick hair. My hair was once admired by many people, and most of the people, if not all, wanted my hair to be long. I always get suggestions from random people advising me not to chop my hair. Though I didn't take random advice so seriously, close people of mine were also against hair cuts. Though I preferred short hair, I took their suggestions to heart and stopped chopping my hair for 5 years straight.
 
Sounds silly, right? I put myself in a mental state that hair cutting is banned. I thought I would get used to it. But nah! I started to link my hair to my freedom. I assumed a hair cut was proportional to freedom. I couldn't cut my hair because I didn't have freedom, or vice versa. But that's not at all the case. My family will not disown me for a haircut. But I believed I lacked the freedom to do so.
 
As I held so much negativity in my hair, it started to lose its density. I grew so much gray hair, and the beauty in my hair slowly started to fade away.
 
Every time I saw my long hair, it just reminded me that I lacked freedom. It was just a mentality with which I viewed it. I connected two completely unrelated things, which will not benefit me in any way.
 
As my hair grew thin and long, I started to feel a decrease in my freedom. I felt suppressed by my hair. My hair held an intangible weight that dragged me down. The k-drama "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" heroine also links her toxic mother to her hair, and she was also afraid to chop it. That k-drama resonated with my feelings so much, and maybe that's why it's the most liked k-drama for me.
 
Just like the female lead, I also got the courage to chop my hair, finally. But that's not what I wanted at that time. I preferred long hair aesthetically, though I need to chop it off to regain my mental freedom.
 
I was in a confused state for some time, and it was hard for me to overcome that ugly correlation without chopping my hair. So I finally chopped it two months ago, and that's when all this started—all the good things that my hair stopped from reaching me.
 
It's definitely not the hair that holds power, just like Rapunzel; it's our mind that gives power to certain things. If you believe that your lucky shirt will bring luck to you, it will. If you believe Mondays always suck, they definitely will. So the power always comes from your subconscious mind.
 
I gave negative powers to my hair. I believed that it was dragging me down. I should have stopped that negative belief, but it was hard. So I chopped it to get out of that curse.
 
If you feel you are dragged down by something, you can also chop that off, as long as it's not what you want. Some people may link their dressing style, family, or even the location where they live to their freedom. If you want a change, change your mindset. Change your negative beliefs. Stop linking two unrelated things in a negative manner. If it is already dragging you down, if it is hard to escape, and if it's as simple as hair, you can chop that off.
 
That's the thought of the day. Am I right? Should I have tried hard to overcome that negative belief without chopping my hair?
 
Anyway, I needed a haircut.
 
Bye byeee
 
Gonna sleep at 2.50 a.m. Sorry for getting worse. Maybe tomorrow I will try hard🙈
