The majority of people I know do not like their picture📸 taken, nor do they like to look at themself in the mirror🙈.
I understand this, I too was not a fan of my image.
The person I saw many years ago in the mirror◻ was a sad, overweight, frumpy mum.
I didn't want to be confronted with the truth.
I played the avoidance game well.
If I don't see it, then I don't see it. Right?
Someone wise once said to me,
'Misty, the pictures I take of you are not for you. These pictures are my memories.'
This statement stopped me in my tracks.
Who am I to deniey someone I love? If they want an image of me, it's not fair of me to say no.
I sheepisly came out from behind the camera📹, and learnt something that I didn't expect - I have the power to change my image.
I didn't like what saw so I had to change.
It then became a mission of mine to be present in pictures . I learnt how to look at a camera and how to position my body to get the right look.🤳 Over time I learnt to like and now love❤ what I see.
From pictures of the past I can see the changes in my image today. My shape and posture has improved on purpose.🔥
At the moment I am focused on my running 🏃♀️ style. Weekly parkrun pictures 📸have enabled me to make adjustments to my stride📏.
Last year I was shuffling, this year I am flying!🛫
Good think I have my dog by my side to keep me from floating away!
Pictures are memories of the past, they are not who you are today. It is your power '
I hold myself tall,✔ as I want to project my inner health and happiness. Being a sad, frumpy mum is not who I am today.
