Get so solid in who you are that a bad haircut can’t shake you.

How badly a small change to your appearance can wreck a week is a decent gauge of how much of your footing is resting on it. That is not a flaw in you. It is what happens when nearly everything around you rewards the surface. A haircut grows out, and whatever was actually holding you up should still be there on the awkward days.

Notice what does not change when you feel like you look wrong. Your friends still text, the thing you are good at is still yours, the day still works. Name two of them out loud.
