The most destructive habit I see in women isn’t sugar, isn’t wine, isn’t even the sun.
It’s this: you keep putting yourself last.
You’ll drag yourself out of bed for school runs.
Work like a lunatic to keep everyone else happy.
Answer your friends messages at midnight because “they need me.”
But when it comes to booking the one thing that would actually make you feel good in your own skin?
Suddenly you’ve got a list of excuses as long as your arm.
👉 “Maybe after Christmas.”
👉 “When I’ve lost a bit of weight.”
👉 “When life isn’t so stressful.”
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: life is always stressful.
The kids are always going to need you.
The house, the job, the chaos — it’s not going anywhere.
And while you’re waiting for the perfect moment, lines get deeper.
Skin gets looser.
Confidence quietly slips away.
Meanwhile, the women who stopped fannying around and booked?
They’re glowing.
They’re lifted.
They walk into a room and look alive again — while you’re still standing in the mirror pulling your face back with your hands saying, “one day.”
And don’t kid yourself that sacrificing your own needs is noble.
Your family doesn’t want the run-down, grey, apologetic version of you.
They want the woman who walks tall. Who feels confident.
Who actually likes what she sees staring back at her.
That woman only shows up when you stop putting yourself last.
So here it is:
👉 Book the damn appointment.
👉 Stop making excuses.
👉 Stop waiting for later.
Later is a lie.
