Guide to fighting the Blues!! Keeping the Boudoir Empowerment Alive!
You’re back to the everyday grind since your boudoir session, and while the excitement and confidence from that day may have faded slightly, the empowerment you felt doesn't have to.
This guide is designed to help you keep that positive energy alive and fight off any post-session blues.
1. Revisit Your Photos Regularly
Daily Reminder: Set a daily or weekly reminder to revisit your boudoir photos. Whether it's a full album viewing or just glancing at a favorite image, let these photos remind you of the strength and beauty you embodied during your session.
Photo Placement: Place a printed photo in a spot you frequent daily, like your bathroom mirror or workspace, to keep the positive vibes flowing. Wall art is always a wonderful reminder of your day! Go back and ask Sarah about getting your fave image made into metal wall art! (PSST…ask about the discount ;-) Thank me later!)
2. Self-Care Rituals
Pamper Yourself: Treat yourself to a self-care ritual that makes you feel special—whether it's a bubble bath, a spa day, or just taking time to relax with a good book.
Mindful Meditation: Engage in daily meditation, focusing on self-love and healthy body image. Visualize the feelings you had during your session and let them guide your day.
3. Affirmations & Journaling
Positive Affirmations: Write down genuine authentic positive affirmations inspired by your boudoir experience. Repeat them daily to reinforce your self-worth and confidence.
Journaling: Keep a journal to reflect on the session, how it made you feel, and any progress you've made in your self-love journey. Journaling can help you process emotions and maintain a healthier outlook.
4. Engage in Activities That Boost Confidence
Exercise: Engage in activities that make you feel strong and capable, like yoga, dancing, or a workout routine you enjoy. Physical activity can boost your mood and reinforce the healthy body image you embraced during your session.
Creative Expression: Channel your energy into creative outlets—whether it's painting, photography, or even trying out a new look with makeup and outfits. Creativity can be a powerful way to reconnect with the feelings you had during your session.
5. Celebrate Milestones
Set Personal Goals: Set small, achievable goals that celebrate your body and accomplishments. Whether it's mastering a yoga pose, completing a fitness challenge, or simply feeling confident in a new outfit, every milestone is worth celebrating.
Reward Yourself: Reward yourself for these milestones with something special—a new piece of lingerie, a day out with friends, or even a mini-photo shoot at home (More guidance on that to come).
6. Stay Connected with Your Boudoir Photographer
Follow-Up Sessions: Consider scheduling a follow-up session or a mini-shoot to recapture those empowering feelings. Sometimes, all it takes is another session to reignite that spark.
Engage in the SARAH LANE STUDIOS FB Group: Stay connected by following Sarah on social media, engaging with their content, and even sharing your own experiences. Seeing others' journeys can keep you inspired.
7. Join a Supportive Community
Group Engagement: Join groups or communities focused on healthy body image and self-love. Engaging with like-minded individuals can provide ongoing support and inspiration.
Accountability Buddy: Find an accountability buddy to share your goals and progress with. They can help keep you motivated and remind you of the empowerment you felt during your session.
The empowerment you felt during your boudoir session is just the beginning.
By incorporating these tips into your daily life, you can keep that incredible energy alive and continue to celebrate the beautiful, confident person you are. Remember, the journey to self-love is ongoing—embrace it every day!
With Gratitude,
