KAIZEN FOR LIFE

I never used to be the picture taking type – I just forgot about taking them or was against doing it for some reason or another (especially food pics). However, I am a changed woman. I take hundreds of pictures of moments that I think I may want to remember and look back on, like a visual diary.

Let me first just quickly add that you SHOULD NOT let taking pictures take away from the actual MOMENT ITSELF. I don’t take a picture every time, sometimes I like to enjoy the moment or the scenery first and find that’s special enough as it is or at other times I will take a picture later on. So pick and choose your pictures and make sure you are LIVING IN AND APPRECIATING THE MOMENT IN ALL ITS GLORY. I’d also like to add that for me it’s not about the actual picture so I’m not worried about it being perfect or getting the right angle etc, it’s simply so I can look back and reminisce or share it with people I love.

Now that that’s out the way let’s get back to the taking the piccy bit. I will take pictures of sunsets, views or nice scenery, my dog, the people I love, random cool things, plants and flowers, nature I’m general and so on. I just absolutely love getting to look back and see all that I’ve experienced and seen.

Most importantly, I find that this helps me to be grateful and reminds me of how lucky and blessed I am – for the amazing views I’ve seen, the beautiful people in my life that I’ve met (whether they’re still in my life or not I still appreciate the time they were), the cuteness of my dog, the love I am surrounded by, the fact that I’m alive and have the capability and opportunities to take these pictures.

I truly think it is a beautiful thing to do, when done right.

So take more piccys!! But enjoy yourself at the same time!!
