The conflict is a play of the mind. It is taking two things, looking hot and everything that goes with it, and spirituality, and putting them in
polarity. This is not the polarity that Steve talks about on this forum. This is the old-school definition. You make them opposites.
But they're not opposites. They are individual, mutually exclusive choices.

Every choice is a unique act of creation. They are mutually exclusive and do not interfere with each other. One choice cannot cancel another one out. Creations that are seemingly opposite, can exist side by side.

All you've done is linked two choices. The choice to look hot and the choice to be spiritual. When you think they are opposed to each other you actually add a third choice - a choice to experience polarity (which is a form of denial).
To un-link them you have to catch yourself doing the polarity and separate out the pieces. "Oh, I've got my choice to experience looking hot and my choice to be spiritual and I'm making them opposite, but they're not."
Start there, get you mind used to seeing it. (and don't make yourself wrong, that adds more denial, make it playful) The mind needs to understand they are separate manifestations. There's more to be learned about self by pulling up the curtain on polarity, but that's for a later time.
As long as
looking damn hot and taking the time to be is what you want to do, there is no conflict. If you feel you have to do it because everyone else is, you'll have a conflict. But it sounds like you want to do it. You may only want to do it for a few months and then do something different with your look.
Your spiritual progress will move as you want it too, unless you link it to other choices. Then those choices could hold you back or add delay.
Did I explain that ok?
