Let me tell you about my girl Monica.
Monica LOVES a reset. Like, she's OBSESSED. π€ͺ
New Year? Reset. πNew month? Reset. π
Bad week? Reset. π€Mercury retrograde ends? RESET. πͺ
She's done:
- The 30-day hair reset (made it to day 4) ποΈβ
- The skin barrier reset (gave up after one week) π§΄
- The clarifying reset (her hair was MAD at her) π‘
- The "back to basics" reset (added 6 new products by week 2) π
Every time, she starts with SO much energy. New notebook. βπΎ New plan. New commitment. πͺπΎ
And every time, she quits because "it's not working." π«
One day I asked her: "Monica, what are you even RESETTING? Like... what's the actual problem you're trying to fix?" π€·πΎββοΈ
She stared at me. ποΈπποΈ
"I just... I feel like my hair and skin aren't where they should be."
"Okay but WHERE should they be? And why? What's actually wrong?" π―
Y'all. She didn't know. πΆ
She was just resetting because everyone else was resetting. Doing challenges because influencers said to. π² Starting over because it FELT like the right move.
But she never actually understood what she was resetting FROM or TO. πΊοΈβ
Sound familiar, Melaninaires? π
We LOVE the idea of a fresh start. A clean slate. A 30-day challenge that's gonna fix everything. β¨
But here's the truth: You can't reset your way out of confusion. π
If you don't understand what's actually happening with your hair and skin, every reset is just guessing with extra steps. π²
You'll start strong πͺπΎ, get frustrated when you don't see immediate results π€, and then... reset again.
It's a cycle that keeps you busy but never gets you anywhere. π
The Clarity Continuum isn't another reset. It's not another challenge. It's the thing you do BEFORE all of that so you actually know what you're working with. π§ Because once you understand the signals your hair and skin are sending π‘, you stop needing to reset every month. You just... adjust. Tweak. Refine. ποΈ
No drama. π
πΎββοΈ No starting over. Just informed decisions that build on what you already learned.
If you're tired of starting over every few weeks, maybe it's time to start with clarity instead. π
Drop a π if you've "reset" more times than you can count AND be honestβwhat's the longest you've ever stuck with ONE routine before jumping to the next? No judgment... we've all been there! π
