Heidi Rae Coaching - You Still Have Time

Babes!!

We have almost made it through January. How do you feel like you're doing?? Personally, the cold air feels very unnecessary. But some people thrive in the cold. Personally, the long and gloomy days can be hard on my soul. But some people absolutely feel their best on days like that. Personally, I am very grateful that the days are getting longer again. But can we just speed that up??

I have a sign in my office that my Miss Birdie gave me years ago. It reads, "It's Never Too Late to Live Happily Ever After."

I have always kept it in my direct line of sight. I need it to remind me often that I'm on a journey, not in a sprinting race. I also have several cards that T sent with flowers. They are all very T-esque! She is my tough-love-sister! One reads, "You have one day to be sad. That's it!! You are more than enough."

These words from my people are so true. We have time. In fact, it's really all we have. What we do with our time matters, yes. BUT, if you are reading this right now - you still have time!

This is just the best news ever!

I am going to tell you a story. Stick with me here because you're going to wonder how it correlates. It does! Pinky promise.

My friend, who also just started doing my hair a few months ago, asked me a question right when I sat in her chair. "What do you want your hair to look like in six months?"

I found my filter for a half a second, wondering why she wasn't asking me what I wanted it to look like this second. Six months?!?! "Ummm, well I'd like it to be more blonde and I'd like it to be longer and more one length than like six different haircuts - looking hair."

Then she explained that she asks that because there is no way to get my hair to the finish line today. Getting it blonde, without it all falling out, is going to take TIME. Getting it to one length when it's been a pixie cut for so long is going to take TIME. Growing it out is going to take TIME.

I loved that she asked me that and that she is doing my hair with the six month marker in mind. Our lives are not that different! We are not going to be who we think we want to be today or tomorrow. That's not how it works. Who do you want to be in six months? Let's start there!
