Do you ever have weeks where you are feeling down? Self-conscious? Sad? I do. And last week, I had one of those weeks. Lately, I have been struggling a lot with my self-esteem and image. This semester has been extremely overwhelming for me. Between starting my own business, working a full-time job, and taking 15 credits I have had no time for self-care. Self-care is something that I am extremely passionate about. Setting aside 20-30 minutes a day to practice self-care is something I recommend we all do. Lately, I have not been that great at this.
I decided that it was time for me to do something for myself that would make me feel beautiful and happy. I got ready for the day, took out my camera, and headed on the road with my friends. I turned off my notifications, blasted my favorite tunes, rolled down the windows, and just enjoyed life. I enjoyed just living in the moment and letting my intuition guide me to my next destination. I headed towards Enterprise where I came across this beautiful landscape that I could not resist taking pictures of. I ended up packing my tripod with me and decided this would be the perfect time to get some new pictures of myself! I honestly had SO much fun standing in front of the camera and posing. As a photographer, you don't get to spend much time in front of the camera and I honestly forgot how to pose for a second. But overall, I had such a blast! For the first time in a while I acted on my adventurous, spontaneous side of myself and lived without a “plan.” I recommend you all try it once.
