can the mind/brain reset?

hello, I had over 38 inches of hair (which I donated to the cancer society) and I hadn't cut my hair for 16 years, not a trim and I always had my hair braided, so it as basically the same hair style everyday.I decided to cut my hair to donate it all to cancer patients. When I came home from the hair salon, when I looked at the mirror, I did not recognize myself at all. I felt so confused and I thought I was looking at someone else. After that incident, I forgot how to do a lot of things that a normal person should already know how to do like how to drive a car, talk to people, eat, how to respond to questions such as ''how are you?'' how to shop at a grocery store, and even how to walk. The real weird thing is that when I look at an old picture of myself before the hair cut, I remember how to do all of the normal things a person should already know how to do. So I was wondering, is it possible for the mind to reset or something?

It is possible to reset. We should not unsettle our mind first of all. It is a feeling. We have to give a wise understanding and adjust our self in order to come back to our original position.
