Rooted Wednesdays Vol. 15 Am I waiting… or just avoiding?

Whats On My Hair

This wash day felt simple.

No overthinking, no trying to perfect it. Just showing up and doing what I already know works.

I’m noticing something: my hair responds best when I stop trying to control every little detail and just stay consistent with what’s been proven.

Not perfect. Not new. Just… consistent.

And honestly, it felt a little boring.

But in that “boring,” my hair is actually thriving. And I’m realizing I don’t just do this with my hair…

Whats On My Heart

I’ve been sitting with this quiet fear that I might “do life wrong.”

Like I need permission before I move.
Like if I don’t get it exactly right, I’m out of alignment somehow.

And if I’m being real…
that fear has been slowing me down.

Because when every decision feels like it needs approval,
you start to freeze.

But I started questioning that.

In the healthiest relationships in my life, there’s trust.
There’s space to move, to learn, to adjust.

Not constant fear of getting it wrong…
but confidence that I’ll be guided as I figure it out.

And maybe that’s the shift I’m stepping into right now:

I don’t need permission to take the next step in my life.
I need trust while I’m taking it.

Because sometimes what looks like “waiting”
is really fear in a softer voice.

Just like my hair doesn’t need a new product every week…
my life doesn’t need a new answer every time I feel uncertain.

Sometimes I already know what to do.

I just have to do it.

So I’m asking myself: Am I actually waiting for clarity…
or avoiding movement?

From my wash day to yours,
what’s one thing you already know to do, but haven’t moved on yet?
