The Dangers of Going Girlie

How come nobody warned me? Why didn't someone take me aside and give me a slight indication? I really had no idea that going girlie would have hazards to my health. What? You didn't know either? Wow! I am really glad to be able to offer this information.

One of the possible dangers of getting girlie is when you let your hair grow out you might be inclined to twirl your hair. You may think this is a harmless act, however prolonged hair twirling can create an achy shoulder, elbow, forearm and hand. Obviously, I have a hair twirling problem.

My massage therapist asked me this last week, "What's going on with your left shoulder?". I admitted to her that I hadn't quit twirling my hair. "What?", she exclaimed, "What am I doing here? I am trying to help heal your muscles and you haven't quit that yet?" I turned to her with a big'ol guilty smile on my face, with my index finger to my lips as I jokingly shushed her. I said, "Shhhh, don't tell anyone". Then vowed to stop. I never really thought about my hair twirling having a serious affect on anything, but it turns out it is harmful and kinda painful to me and creates more work for her.

This new perspective will have a stronger impact on my choice to say NO to the twirling.
