When life gives you lemons, make limoncello! 😉

That’s what I thought when I was taking this photo. In fact, I was quite overwhelmed that morning before this photoshoot. My son had just started his summer schedule so I felt quite unprepared with a new routine for personal and work. When I arrived at this ice cream shop for my photoshoot, I was able to recognize my anxiety and started to calm myself down by thinking about the positive outcome of this new routine. Maybe it means I can spend more bonding time with my son in the morning; maybe it means I can explore a different area of the town for my photoshoot; maybe my outfit photos can be taken at a different time of the day so I can improve my self-portrait skills.

I once read about a book about mindset and resonated with the concept of turning anxiety into excitement. Having that positive attitude, adjusting your expectations and allowing yourself time to reset are all so important steps to have a happy and balanced life.

So don’t worry if you think you received lemons, you’ve got lots of options on how to make them into something exciting.
