I wanted to start a new discussion about
thoughts coming to you while being at the hairdresser- an important time for every woman.
Here is the thought I had at my last
appointment which I also posted in
writing Vs. Abstract thought as it is somehow related.
Every time I go to the hairdresser I am
forced to look at my reflection for a long time. Every time, I think
that this time I will prepare and won't have to behold a tired and
drawn face, but a smiley and glamorous one. I think this time I will
dress nicely and put on make-up so that the act itself of looking at
my reflection won't make me feel even more tired and drawn. It never
works, I'm always late and running to my appointment and don't get
the time to prepare. While sitting there last time, I thought about
the ideal way I would like to appear, and understood that this is
actually a question of imagination, focus and performance. I should
imagine myself in a situation, see and focus on how I would like to
appear and subsequently perform myself to the best of my
capabilities. It is a mistake to want to appear with no preconception
of what I want my appearance to be like.
