Whilst honouring that some things are still a bit sh1t! ‘Finding the positives’ is something my friend Julie taught me... It’s not entirely dissimilar to a gratitude list but there is something about the slight re-frame that makes it feel less contrived.
Ahhh such beautiful photographs! You deserve to be included in this project that seems so important.
My small wins the past week have been: listening to my body when it told me to stop running, calming a panic attack with deep breaths and a cup of tea, and reading a poetry book that’s so enchanting.
Your photography is gorgeous. You’re clearly super talented! I love this too, the idea of searching for reasons to be cheerful. Often our brains are stacked up against us, but doing something a bit unnatural, like actively looking for the good, really does shift the mindset and can make a bad day into an OK one, or an OK day into a good one. Hope you’re well 😊
Congratulations on the shortlist, Emma!! I wish you continued moments of joy and gentle grace with yourself. My wins today have been taking time to dance, washing my bed linens, and making food to nourish my body before it reached a state of hanger. I am grateful for your invitation to pause and reflect. Thank you!
This is beautiful, Emma. I totally agree with looking for little positives and tiny moments that are lovely rather than trying to overlook or block out the hard stuff in the name of gratitude. And massive congratulations on being included in the book - your work is so gorgeous, it's well-deserved. The you capture the light makes me swoon. My small win lately: wrote and shared my first Substack this week! Lovely to see you here❤️ xx
