In this busy season of wedding photography, fall sessions, etc. Take some time today to just be present. Even if you are working a 9-5 job, be present.

What I mean by this is, don’t wish your time away, don’t spend all your time wishing you were doing something else. I know it’s so easy to do this, especially when you have really big dreams, and you are no-where near where you want to be. It’s easy to get caught in that loop of complaining, and whining, but let me tell you a secret. It gets you no-where, and fast! 

Start out today by thanking God you are alive, and meditating on His word this morning.

Make a top 5 list of things you are grateful for.

Now when you are at your job, and you feel that urge to wish your time away, start by calming your mind down. Take a deep breath, and re-focus.

Silently go about your day, naming off things you are thankful for in this moment. It could be that you are working along-side your best friend, remind yourself you have worked hard to get where you are so enjoy it, or that you have not had to deal with a rude customer today.

Don’t wish your life away my friend. Your life is precious, and each moment we have is a chance to do something for someone else.

Be present.

Love,
