Britney Spears' Hair - is it Personal Growth?

A Shaved Britney...Why?

As I write this article the world is waiting to find out why Britney spears has shaved her head and let her long, long locks drop to the floor. Although I don't have a way of reading her mind or have an insight of Britney spears' reasoning for what is being perceived by the media and the public as an indication of her instability; I can express my opinion on how something as simple as shearing off ones hair can be a greatly needed spark to sustain a lasting change within oneself.

Our identity is dependant on our appearance and contributes to what we accomplish in life or not may the case be!

Behind almost every lasting change in a person you will find an identity alteration. Only a minority of people have the tenacity needed to uphold changes within their behavior without an identity shift of some kind.

Just take the new inductees of the armed forces for example.

When the army shaves off a new recruit's hair, it's shaving a part of their old identity - this to be able to reshape theses young men and women. They no longer look like an individual anymore; they all look the same, they're all in affect are starting at the same point. It is much easier for the army to rebuild and mold their beliefs to serve as an obedient soldier; as opposed to struggling with different identities.

Women who undergo chemotherapy say that losing their hair is the worst part of the treatment; this is because a person's hairstyle is literally merged with them; it's their identity. Taking away their hair is taking away a part of them.

This also explains why men spend so much money on hair products to prevent the loss of their hair rather than depositing the money into their retirement account.

As strange as this might sound, if your ultimate goal is to lose weight, don't focus on forcing yourself to exercise more and eat less, you should become that person first. The sort of person who only eats healthy foods and someone that couldn't even imagine a day without exercise! If you begin to adopt these concepts of eating healthily naturally and exercising regularly, you will find that this will become a part of you - a second nature.

You might say "How do you do that"?
