I’ve been trying to brainstorm a new post for a few weeks. I
write down topics of discussion when the thought presents itself but lately it seems
like I am in a whirlwind that is on a path of destruction. I’m sitting here
trying to embellish my words to capture your attention but I’ve hit a brick
wall. So let me give you a brief synopsis of the wisdom I acquired over the
last few weeks.
· Turn setbacks into momentum. Aliments happen to
the best of us. When it rains it definitely pours in my household. It’s much
easier to channel my stress with a glass of wine while treating myself to
something sweet but the show must go on. Use the setbacks in life to propel you
forward.
·
The terrible twos are no joke. It seems like God
turned on a light switch and my daughter is constantly on seek-and-destroy
mode. Instead of letting my daughter go completely Godzilla on me while I lose
my cool, we play scavenger hunts and I do my best to redirect her. A broken spirit is much harder to mend than a
broken toy.
·
Embrace criticism. Just smile politely when your
work is criticized. Especially when it’s not constructive criticism. There is a
huge difference! Try to sift through the information, perhaps see a new perspective
but don’t take it to heart.
·
PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE! Remember the days when your
parents wouldn’t answer the phone past 7:30pm? Or when games were played on a
table instead of a tablet? It’s so easy to get caught up in the news or who’s
posting what on social media but honestly less is more. I have enough on my
plate to worry about than reading about what Jane Doe had for dinner. If you
are trying to build your business online through social media, set designated
times to post then walk away.
·
Don’t get discouraged while learning something
new. As a photographer there is always something new to learn. It’s so easy to
get overwhelmed and feel discouraged. Take a deep breath and don’t be afraid to
ask for help.
·
Stop comparing yourself to others. Surround
yourself with positivity and gratefulness. Negative energy and bitter thoughts
are extremely draining and counterproductive.
Maybe my next post will be a distinguished article but for
now life has me occupied. Go forth with
peace and blessings.
