Doing what you want

Today I got my nose pierced, and even though it's not really a big deal, I have been thinking about it a lot because it is a part of my journey from defiantly going against what I think I "should" do and embracing what I love, simply because I love it. I have done so much inner work this year on self-acceptance and it still strikes me as a radical act. What would your life look like if you accepted, nurtured, loved every aspect of yourself? How would you be different? How would your views on the world change?

As a side note, I have stopped washing my hair and am relying on heavy brushing to move the oils from my scalp to the rest of my hair. I do rinse occasionally with apple cider vinegar (like once a week). I love not only how healthy and happy my hair is without any products in it, but also how much water I'm saving, how I no longer have to buy plastic bottles of conditioner (this is how I used to "wash" my hair), and the dreamtime of the daily ritual of hairbrushing. I usually do ten minutes a day. Sometimes my husband will brush my hair for me, my favorite. It is a really special thing!
