I got told off by my hairdresser yesterday (she’s my auntie so it was delivered with a cup of tea which was grand)

But I’d put off having my hair cut for 8 months

The split ends were tragic

I needed more off than I wanted

And I’ve been told never to do that again

I didn’t even have a valid reason for why

My auntie is 20 minutes away from me

But I’d been telling myself stories:

I didn’t have time

I was too busy with work

I couldn’t justify an hour out

It was finally the length I wanted it to be after my turning 30 mental breakdown (not about being 30 I'll let you know, but I realised I wasn't happy so I started by changing my hair and ended by leaving my relationship.. ohhh memories)

When really it was just because I was being a bit lazy

I didn’t value it enough

But something as simple as not going for a hair cut is honestly just as bad as putting off your health and fitness goals

And I don’t mean dieting

But how many times have you said I don’t have time for the gym

Oh I’ll do it next week, I need to do x instead right now...

And before you know it it’s 8 months since you’ve had a proper workout or even gone for a decent walk

I want you to learn from me this week

Stop putting things off

Because the longer you put them off, the more work needs to be done later on

Get that workout scheduled in your diary

Commit to going just once

Book onto that class even

Add an extra serving of veg to your meals

Just do it

It all adds up, and if you start now you won't have to do as much

Future you will thank you for it

And if it’s anything like my hair chop, it’ll be painless and you’ll feel bloody fantastic after

Okay?

Have a great weekend
