How often do you feel unmotivated? Here’s my secret to fighting it 👇Tell me yours in the comments! I don’t have one secret. When I feel unmotivated and there isn’t one magical thing or morning routine that’ll change my mind. So instead, I have a list of things to run through that my (or may not) snap me out of it: - take an hour off to reset - smack talk myself into moving even if I’m moving slowly - energy drink - do a “mindless” task - do smaller tasks first - create a fun working environment (snacks/netflix) - Talk to someone - get off social media - read a chapter in a book - play with my kids - take a walk - get a massage Note that exercise is NOT on that list. Exercise has never been an upper for me, it always drains me. 🫠🫠🫠 What’s on your list of motivational tricks?

This conversation is a HUGE part of photographing anyone, but especially corporate headshots and small business lifestyle sessions. Knowing their goals and how they want to be perceived, not how you perceive them, is key to a successful session for both the photographer and client. Thanks to @lexarmemory for giving me the opportunity to work more closely with them and for these incredible cards and SSD drive that I worked off of SEAMLESSLY for editing and processing these images. Couldn’t be happier! Sponsored by Lexar
