Want to know the quote I have hanging on my Coaching Room wall? One of my favourite favourites of all time?
It’s a Chinese proverb which says “The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is now.”
So good, yes?
🧘♀️ When was the best time to take up yoga, and keep up your practice every day? Well, twenty tears go, but the second best time is NOW.
🧼 When was the best time for you to have started that amazing skin care routine? Well, twenty tears go, but the second-best time is NOW.
💰 When was the best time for you to have started saving extra for retirement? Well, twenty tears go, but the second-best time is NOW.
🚶♀️ When was the best time for you to stop eating sugar/start doing 10000 steps a day? Well, twenty tears go, but the second-best time is NOW.
You get it.
Anything seriously life-enhancing benefits from longevity and the benefit of compounding returns. From it becoming so routine and such a habit it just becomes our natural baseline of how we take care of ourselves.
The same goes for taking care of our mental and emotional health.
