You’d be surprised the life lessons that are learned when shooting outfit photos. Take this shoot for example: the wind would not let up and it was seriously dampening my mood. Once I decided to embrace it though, things went uphill instantaneously!
You can’t always control what is thrown at you. But, you can always control how you react to the situation. This may sound cliché & overused, but so many of us often forget this simple fact and let the situations control us.
With days that test our perseverance, all we need to do is take a deep breath & enjoy the wind through our hair! 🙂 You will find your overall mood brighten immediately when you don’t pay attention to the small obstacles faced every day. Most days I have a hard time taking my own advice. I am quite the perfectionist, and uncontrollable situations make my heart pound, my hands clammy, and my brain fuzz. Slowly, I’ve been learning to change my thinking in these situations. I know life is unpredictable and I know I won’t be happy with every situation I’m in. But, I also know that stressing over these things make them no better than before.
With all that said, enjoy life! It’s challenging. It’s imperfect. Still, it’s incredible. It’s unpredictably pleasing. And it’s short. So there’s no time to waste.
