When we get nervous, we make excuses. We make excuses not to love ourselves or take care of ourselves. That’s just unacceptable! We deserve time for ourselves. Sometimes life is just busy, we are too crazy at work, or life is just throwing us lemons! Sometimes it’s more important to spend time with our spouse. We also use excuses like “I want to lose 15 pounds first” and “I just don’t have the money right now”. I wanted to write this to show you all that no matter the excuse, you are worthy of self-love!
It’s also important to remember that if you aren’t taking care of yourself mentally, you’re not going to be able to handle taking care of everyone else, which makes sense but is actually much easier said than done! Sometimes I’m the worst at making sure I’m giving myself mental health breaks and that’s why I think it’s so important to share this with you all. I make the same excuses above and sometimes I need someone to look at me in the face and say slow down, give yourself a break, breathe for a minute! Recently the universe told me, ‘I TOLD YOU TO TAKE A BREAK’ when I broke my ankle. Sometimes the universe will force us into what we’re supposed to do if we’re not taking the steps ourselves to do it.
Out of a Boudoir shoot you’re able to breathe and love yourself for a few hours. Think of all the energy you’ll save on a daily basis if you stop comparing yourself to others or stop worrying about what other people will think of how you look. You get to see where your beauty really comes from, and this lifts such a huge mental weight.
“I don’t have enough time for myself”
You need to take time for yourself, why not spend it having an amazing time and getting glammed up for once?
“I’m not where I want to be weight wise/I don’t fit the media’s idea of a good enough size”
Did you know that the body type portrayed in advertising as the ideal is possessed naturally by only 5% of American females? Only 5%!
I will say this over and over again (and sorry, not sorry if you heard me say it before) but why do you have to be a certain size to love yourself? Why do you have to fit a stranger’s messed up idea of a perfect body to love your own body? Why are you comparing your size to everyone else, when no two women are the same!
I think it’s amazing to have goals and want to get healthy, but does that mean you have to hate your body to do those things? Absolutely not! You should love yourself every single step of the way. Be proud of where you are currently so that you can be proud of where you’re going! Have a Boudoir shoot to celebrate where you are now, and then have one when you lose that 15 pounds to celebrate how far you’ve come!
“I never feel sexy or sensual anymore so a boudoir shoot must not be for me.”
Wrong! This excuse is actually the exact reason you should do a Boudoir shoot. Often times we lose touch with our femininity or sexuality when life gets crazy because of health/kids/work. It happens a lot and it’s absolutely normal and okay! A great way to find the side of ourselves again is to have a Boudoir shoot done to put that spark back in us. I can show you that you have that inside of you somewhere, and it might even ignite a spark between you and your spouse as well!
Another thing to remember is that you don’t have to wear super sexy clothing/lingerie. If you feel like this doesn’t show your personality, then there are so other many outfits out there. If you need ideas, I will gladly talk to you about them or you can check out our blog on finding outfits here!
“A boudoir shoot is an investment and I don’t have all the money right now.”
Yes, a Boudoir shoot is an investment. It is also an investment in yourself! You are investing in your well-being and confidence as well! We do offer payment plans! In order to book your shoot there’s a booking retainer, and after that we can set up your payment plan for the remaining balance so that it might be easier to book a shoot if you have any questions about your payment plans, shoot us an email while setting up your shoot.
