I was told repeatedly to cross my arms to which I finally asked, "Why? Are my boobs too big?" Ha Ha "No, but it makes your shoulders look smaller." To which I thought,"Why would I want to do that, I have worked damn hard on my shoulders and I like them just the way they are." I later did a shot in a tank top and I was told to angle my body to "soften the look, like everyone else does" Again, I thought; "I don't want to look soft in this picture and if everyone else is doing it, maybe that's a good reason not to." He also kept saying, " Big smile, big smile" The truth is I'm not a big smile kind of girl, ...SO BACK OFF!!! I did try to voice my opinions politely, but was just looked at as being ignorant.
Needless to say, the shoot was a disaster and now I am back to see my original photographer. Ah, how much time and money and energy could have been saved if I had only listened to my spirit initially.
So what's my point to all this?
Only this - Your spirit "knows" what you should do or not do , before you do. We would all do better if we listened to our spirits daily!
Maybe it will tell us to do something that isn't the popular thing to do...
Maybe something that doesn't even make sense...
But I have come to learn through experience that a lot of time and pain can be saved if we heeded our spirit's calling.
