Embracing Imperfections

If only this version of me knew there was a big bruise headed her way she probably wouldn’t be smiling so much 🤪 Yea right! She was totally still smiling after that fall! In case you missed it, check out my stories to hear about it all, but yesterday I took a fun spill on the trail. I don’t remember the last time I fell as an adult. Cuyler’s actual words were “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you fall.” 🤣 And we have been together almost five years! A year ago that fall probably would have hurt me physically and mentally a whole lot more than it did. I’m not perfect but moving my body a minimum of three times a week and working on moving my mind away from perfectionism played into this situation so much! A year ago I probably would have cried and panicked a bit about this fall and how bad it was going to hurt/look later, but taking that spill yesterday, getting up, laughing, and continuing on proved the work I’ve been doing is paying off. In a world full of instant gratification, don’t forget to take a moment and look back at where you used to be, even if you’re still working through changes to get where you want to be! Or just fall down one day and realize you’re stronger than you thought 🤪 Do you fall down often as an adult? - Reminder: @maza.travel and I are going live today at 12pm MST to answer loads of photography, travel, and business questions!
