Self care : Taking Care Of The Real You

 To fall in love with yourself is to love all your flaws without a doubt. Not just to love your outer appearance or physical features but the internal you. The soulful you, that part of you that no one else can see and the part that can’t be physically altered. 

What is it like to have a beautiful soul?

What is it like to see another person’s light?

What is it like to give off an aura unlike no other?

I wonder how many of us are truly happy within ourselves. Taking care of ourselves is the first step of acknowledging how we truly feel about ourselves. Mentally, Physically, and emotionally are what we should consider when taking actual care of ourselves. 

•Mental Self Care

Learning what we like and don’t like. What makes us truly happy and at ease throughout a period of time. Learning how to feel and accept our faults. Becoming one with our spiritual self and being easy with our thoughts.

•Physical Self Care

Health updates.

Hygiene awareness.

Appearance grooming.

Exercise.

Eating right.

skin, nails and hair treatments.

•Emotional Self Care

Praying.

Eliminating any stressful events.

Not being judgmental. 

Enjoying the moment.

Learning how to love.

Accepting love.

Being patient.

Being patient is crucial to learning how to not compare ourselves to others or their achievements. Learning how to take our time and prefect our craft, business, etc. “Rome was not built in a day” and neither were we. It took nine months for us to even develop in the womb. Comparing ourselves sets back our biological clock. When we see others climb the success ladder, we don’t know how long it took them to reach to the top. That’s why staying in our own lane and mastering patience is essential to feeding our soul. Everyone is different and has different paths in life. 

e.g; It may take me 5 years to be a assistant manager at my workplace and 2 years for you to become a manager at the same work place. But that doesn’t mean the other person is better than the other. Everyone has their own timing in life and that’s what makes life so special. 

Coming to terms with certain aspects of life allows growth within yourself. Judging other people or neglecting health is not self care. Self care is about loving yourself in many more ways than one. Understanding your passion and what gives you drive, maintaining your health and canceling anything that brings stress. Self Care is treating others with respect, loving them, and allowing them to love you. Self care is being a good person even when no one is watching.

Modelographer

Model To Photographer

Jack of all trades …maybe?

My goal is to create content that tells a story. Take a look at life from my view.

As humans we are not made to just to do one thing and settle. We have been multi- tasking for years. Someone asked me “ I thought you were model, so how can you be a photographer? “. I noticed how people can become baffled when they see you do something else other than what they’re normally use to seeing you do.

My response is always “I do both”. I never really give a reason to why I do both but here I am today telling you all about it. Having more than one job/hobby isn’t taboo (I know shocking!). So here’s my answer: I simply enjoy both.  I get pleasure from doing both my passions , which I am very dedicated to. I’m a creative visionary so it’s impossible for me not to recreate my ideas and indulge in projects other than myself. Learning photography is just as tedious as learning how to pose in front  of a camera. Believe it or not, they both take a lot of time. I honestly put my all into my work and every piece I put out is very special to me. There’s always a story behind every picture. That’s what intrigues me even more when I see a photo. It’s literally art that speaks a thousand words or more. Seeing my ideas come to life is so satisfying and I enjoy working with my muses. My favorite types of photography would have to be architectural, portrait, and fashion photography. I take my craft serious and usually prefer to work one and one to capture the perfect moments.
