CHANGING SEASONS: WHEN HAIR CELLS BEGIN TO DIE!




Image result for hair shedding pictures


Nothing stays the same, and you can almost always count on things to get worse before they get better.
We observe the wind, the clouds and brilliantly study meteorology but many times, it seems a little difficult to tune into and quickly adapt to the changing seasons in different portions of our lives. And truly, with all the emotional attachment we’ve had to each peculiar season, it is indeed hard to pack our bags and just move on.
Hair cells undergo drastic changes; from anagen (growth) to catagen (involution) to telogen (shedding) phases. The anagen phase is usually the longest for most hair cells, as about 90% of them are in this phase for at least 3-5 years. Therefore, it serves as a rude shock when involution and shedding of the cells begin to occur.
Such rude shock waves may seem to permeate our spaces and here are a few tips to help us survive the telogen phases of our lives and re-launch into the anagen phases:
1.    1. Get out of circulation! The best thing to do at first is to go into seclusion, trying to understand the season and appropriate steps to take so as to get our feet back.
Isa 26:20
 Go home, my people, and lock the doors! …
2.    2.  Be sensitive. The new comes after the old, always. Forget the previous occurrences. Certain things and people in our lives are seasonal.
Isa 28:12
This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:
3.    3.  Be ready to take new instructions. In this new season, you might be required to leave your comfort zone. They might also come in a step-wise fashion, climbing the rungs of the ladder might prove difficult if one doesn’t take them as such.
Isa 28:13
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little;
4.    4.  Do not make haste. This is the time to create more beautiful, greater things; not the time to ‘show people pepper’. Stop trying to prove to people that you have moved on.
Isa 28:16
…he that believeth shall not make haste.

5.     5. Carry out the specific instructions specifically. Do not be surprised if all things you are to do require entirely new and fragmental steps to be carried out- afterall- this is new territory! The same technique will not be appropriate for all situations.
Isa 28:24
Do farmers plow and plow and do nothing but plow?
Or harrow and harrow and do nothing but harrow?


Nothing stays the same. Make the best use of seasons, even when they change.

Lateral Thinking with FEMI OLADELE

Blessed trinity; how many times and in how many ways? How convenient it is for me to try to estimate the virtues that the presence of GOD exudes; in ignorance obviously. Can you imagine the power of HIS might? And HE took me through a journey of understanding and I failed HIS test, because my human ability is frail and fails. Only a supernatural understanding of GOD as the three-in-one GOD appearing as: Our help in ages past; Our hope for years to come; and Our very present help in time of need. If you therefore need help, fetch from the fullness thereof; it is inexhaustible yet with a price. Many misconstrue the gifts of GOD as free; I presume, it is cheap and affordable but not free. The difference between HIM and his arch rival is that the latter charges high interests like Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. GOD pays premium however; if you have to choose; choose LIFE and BLESSING. It is not without challenges that this life we live, that I live, actually.

#PROSE MONDAY# THE LINE

There is an arbitrary line, which once you cross, you know in your heart that you can’t step back. This is for those of us who have crossed that line and now, are somewhere betwixt full fruition and total loss… ‘If I did not dream, it would have been acceptable, If I didn’t nurse these thoughts to maturity, I would be flawlessly faultless, And if I had used adequate contraception to intercept this zygotic dream, this musing would be absolutely unnecessary, But the truth is, right now, I have lost the right to give up and as a matter of necessity, I have to reach the other line- the finish line. In and out of the labour ward, that has to be my future route. Now whether or not there’d be an after party, that’s seemingly irrelevant. Provided my baby is born! And although, like hyperbaric oxygen, the O â‚‚ of fierce thoughts roll through  my mind at an extremely high pressure, I have to stand. And yet, if a lumber puncture is done on my mind, there is a si...

RESOURCEFULNESS

We all have about 6 needs, which we have to uncover, not necessarily create: ·          CERTAINTY ·          UNCERTAINTY ·          SIGNIFICANCE ·          CONNECTION & LOVE ·          GROWTH ·          CONTRIBUTION, WHICH IS BEYOND OURSELVES The first 4 needs don’t necessarily bring about fulfillment but the last two do. You can have all the comfort/certainty in the world and still remain unfulfilled. You could even switch over to variety i.e. uncertainty-yes, you’ld get adrenaline pumping through your veins, but it’ld be temporary. Significance? We all try to find significance, be it through achievements or by gaining recognition as one thing or the other. Connection is a beautiful thing and love is very accepting, irrespectiv...
