Grounding Tips: Finding Peace in the Present Moment

Grounding Tips: Finding Peace in the Present Moment

Hey there, friends! Today, I want to share with you some grounding techniques that have been absolute lifesavers for me on my journey of healing and self-discovery. Life's twists and turns can leave us feeling a little lost and disconnected from ourselves, but these simple exercises can help bring us back to the present moment and soothe our souls.

5-4-3-2-1 Technique

Let’s start with the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. This powerful exercise engages all your senses, grounding you in the here and now. Take a moment to notice:

• 5 things you can see: Look around and observe the world around you. Notice the small details that often go unnoticed.

• 4 things you can feel: Tune into the sensations in your body. Feel the ground beneath your feet, the texture of your clothing, and the warmth of the sun on your skin.

• 3 things you can hear: Listen closely to the sounds of your environment. The gentle hum of traffic, the rustle of leaves, the rhythm of your own breath.

• 2 things you can smell: Take a deep breath and inhale the scents around you. Maybe it’s the aroma of freshly brewed coffee or the fragrance of blooming flowers.

• 1 thing you can taste: Pop a piece of gum or a small snack into your mouth and savor the flavors. Let it awaken your senses.

Categories

Next up, let’s get creative with categories! Choose a few categories from the list below and name as many items as you can in each one. It’s a fun exercise that gets your mind engaged and focused on the task at hand.

Movies Countries Books Cereals Sports Teams Animals Colors Cities Cars TV Shows Fruits & Vegetables Famous People

Body Awareness

Another fantastic grounding technique is body awareness. Take a moment to connect with your physical sensations:

1. Take 5 long, deep breaths through your nose, and exhale through puckered lips.

2. Place both feet flat on the floor. Wiggle your toes. Curl and uncurl your toes several times. Spend a moment noticing the sensations in your feet.

3. Stomp your feet on the ground several times. Pay attention to the sensations in your feet and legs as you make contact with the ground.

4. Clench your hands into fists, then release the tension. Repeat this 10 times.

5. Press your palms together. Press them harder and hold this pose for 15 seconds. Pay attention to the feeling of tension in your hands and arms.

6. Rub your palms together briskly. Notice and sound and the feeling of warmth.

7. Reach your hands over your head like you’re trying to reach the sky. Stretch like this for 5 seconds. Bring your arms down and let them relax at your sides.

8. Take 5 more deep breaths and notice the feeling of calm in your body.

Mental Exercises

Lastly, let’s explore some mental exercises that can help redirect your thoughts and calm your mind:

• Name all the objects you see.

• Describe the steps in performing an activity you know how to do well. For example, how to shoot a basketball, prepare your favorite meal, or tie a knot.

• Count backwards from 100 by 7.

• Pick up an object and describe it in detail. Describe its color, texture, size, weight, scent, and any other qualities you notice.

• Spell your full name, and the names of three other people, backward.

• Name all your family members, their ages, and one of their favorite activities.

• Read something backwards, letter-by-letter. Practice for at least a few minutes.

• Think of an object and “draw” it in your mind, or the air with your finger. Try drawing your home, a vehicle, or an animal.

I hope you find these grounding techniques as helpful as I have! Remember, in moments of stress or anxiety, taking a moment to ground yourself can make all the difference. Stay present, stay grounded, and most importantly, stay kind to yourself.

Until next time,

Accalia Carter

🌟 Reflecting on 2023: Lessons Learned and Empowerment Unveiled 🌟

🌟 Reflecting on 2023: Lessons Learned and Empowerment Unveiled 🌟

As we bid farewell to another transformative year at Boushie Babes Photography, I'm compelled to share the invaluable lessons that have shaped my journey and the path ahead. 📸💖

1️⃣ Perseverance Amid Challenges: This year reiterated the power of relentless perseverance. I embraced the mantra that failure is not a setback but a stepping stone. Every challenge became an opportunity to grow, and I discovered that the only true failure is giving up.

2️⃣ The Mindset Shift: A profound realization dawned – mindset is the silent architect of our reality. Navigating through the labyrinth of overwhelm, I acknowledged that many struggle to begin their mindset journey. It's a space where I've invested my energy, learning that a positive mindset is a game-changer in both personal and professional realms.

3️⃣ Selective Connections: In the realm of personal and professional relationships, I recognized the importance of intentional connections. The people I invite into my circle directly impact my ability to serve from a full cup. Quality over quantity became my guiding principle.

4️⃣ Self-Discipline with ADHD: Managing ADHD requires tailored self-discipline strategies. Implementing systems and automation freed up mental bandwidth, allowing me to focus on what matters most – connecting with clients and creating transformative experiences.

5️⃣ Adaptation in Business: The landscape of social media advertising shifted, pushing me to pivot from traditional strategies. Learning to navigate these changes and adapting my approach became instrumental in sustaining the business.

6️⃣ Acknowledging Growth: Self-acknowledgment emerged as a crucial aspect of personal development. Recognizing my own growth and giving credit where it's due empowered me to move forward with confidence.

7️⃣ Shadow Work and Unpopular Truths: Embracing shadow work, confronting uncomfortable truths, and standing up for oneself became central themes. The journey within is challenging but unveils the powerful truth that we create our reality.

8️⃣ Financial Empowerment: I released the guilt associated with wanting financial stability and abundance. Acknowledging my worth and embracing abundance not only benefits me but amplifies the impact I can have on others.

9️⃣ Foundations in Business: Establishing solid foundations in business is an investment in future time and success. The groundwork laid today paves the way for more profound connections and impactful experiences.

🔟 Living Authentically: The resounding lesson of 2023 – live authentically. Answer the soul's call, embrace the unknown, and be the change you wish to see. In the realm of artistic creation and personal transformation, there's no greater magic than living your truth. 💫✨

11️⃣ Authentic Client Connection: This year, I delved into the art of authentic client connection. Instead of tirelessly reaching out, I embraced a more organic approach, allowing clients to come to me when they are ready. The shift from aggressive advertising to authentic magnetism felt more aligned and empowered. As a healer and intuitive, I recognized the importance of reserving my energy for those genuinely prepared to invest. It's a dance of reciprocity – I offer my expertise, and in return, I attract clients ready to embark on transformative journeys. This lesson not only elevated the quality of connections but also reinforced the notion that true alignment leads to a more fulfilling and sustainable business journey. 🌟✨ #AuthenticConnection #AlignedBusiness #BoushieBabesInsights #bestkeptsecret

Bonus Lesson - The Power of a Sacred Circle: This year, I discovered the profound impact of having a sacred circle. Gathering twice a month, following the moon, and engaging in our brand of witchy shit has been a blessing. From manifesting desires to sacred ceremonies, our sacred circle has created a space for support, connection, and genuine camaraderie. In 2024, I aim to expand these gatherings, weaving more magic into our collective journey. 🌙✨

As we step into the next chapter, may authenticity, resilience, and empowerment continue to guide our collective journey. Here's to more magic, growth, and uncharted adventures in the coming year! 🥂🌈 #YearInReview #LessonsLearned #EmpowermentJourney #BoushieBabesReflections

Capturing Brilliance: Rachel's Inspiring Headshot Session

In the realm of artistry and music, where every note and stroke holds a world of emotion, the need for captivating headshots is undeniable. Such was the case for Rachel, a talented artist and Flute player residing in California. Her journey to updating her headshots led her on a unique adventure with Boushie Babes Photography.

A Connection Forged Over Time

Rachel's story is one of artistry, passion, and a connection that transcended geographical boundaries. She had been following Boushie Babes Photography for years, patiently waiting for the perfect moment to update her headshots. Despite the miles that separated us—she in California and me in North Idaho—her dedication to capturing her essence through my lens remained unwavering.

Seizing the Opportunity

As fate would have it, Rachel's work brought her to North Idaho, offering a rare chance to make her vision a reality. She seized the opportunity with enthusiasm, knowing that this was the moment she had been waiting for. We planned a session that would fit seamlessly into her busy schedule, sandwiched between lessons and recitals.

A Transformation and Exploration of Artistry

On the day of the shoot, we spared no effort in ensuring Rachel looked and felt her absolute best. A touch of glamour, a dash of confidence, and she was ready to shine. But this session wasn't just about capturing an image; it was an exploration of her artistry, a dance of creativity, and an opportunity to unveil her inner brilliance.

Two Evening Gowns, Countless Possibilities

Rachel brought with her two stunning evening gowns, garments that she elegantly wears during her Flute performances. We saw these gowns as more than just clothes; they were symbols of her art and her passion. With these dresses, we embarked on a journey of self-expression and artistic exploration.

A Profile Image That Speaks Volumes

Rachel's delight was palpable as we reviewed the images together. She found six extraordinary headshots that perfectly encapsulated her essence, ready to grace her website and portfolio. Eager to claim her artistry, Rachel opted for a payment plan that allowed her to break down the cost into manageable installments. With a significant initial payment and her commitment, she paid off her balance ahead of schedule.

A Speedy Delivery and Immediate Impact

The joy of our collaboration didn't end with the shoot. Rachel made her second payment late on a Friday night, and by noon the next day, she had her images. By late Saturday, one of these captivating headshots had already become her profile image on Facebook. The immediacy of her impact left us both thrilled.

Unveiling the Essence of Confidence: A Street-Style Session with Sharnai, Our Fearless Brand Ambassador

In the realm of photography, every session is a unique journey, a canvas waiting to be painted with the essence of the subject. And when our brand ambassador, Sharnai, approached us with a vision of embracing her confident and powerful self, we knew we were in for an extraordinary adventure.

1. Embracing Confidence in Unusual Places

Sharnai's desire was clear – to embrace the strong, confident person she knew she was becoming. She yearned for a session that would reflect this newfound self-assuredness. Together, we set out to find a location that would be anything but usual for a boudoir session. The choice was Graffiti Alley, an unconventional yet vibrant canvas where artists have left their colorful mark.

2. Sharnai: A True Brand Ambassador

Sharnai embodies the spirit of Boushie Babes Photography. She initially became a brand ambassador because her first session left her in awe. She was eager to explore more facets of herself, and when we launched our brand ambassador sessions, she couldn't resist the opportunity to work with us once again.

3. Graffiti Alley: A Playground of Colors and Self-Discovery

Graffiti Alley, nestled downtown, offered us a world where we could play, explore, and embrace every facet of Sharnai's personality. It was the perfect backdrop to showcase her inner strength and newfound confidence.

4. Early Mornings and the Magic of Dawn

For this session, we chose an early morning time slot at 6:30 AM. Why? Downtown areas are bustling during the day and night, but the early hours grant us the freedom to capture solo street shots without the hustle and bustle. The soft, ethereal light of dawn added a unique touch to our photographs, creating an enchanting mood.

5. Dancing in the Rain

The day of the shoot greeted us with rain, but that didn't deter us. We both embraced the drizzle and decided to go ahead. As it turned out, the rain created picturesque puddles that added to the possibilities of our shots.

6 & 7. Wardrobe and Props: Unleashing Sharnai's Inner Badass

Sharnai brought an array of outfits, including a black nighty ensemble, a sleek leather jacket paired with jeans, and a cozy sweater. She also came prepared with a bat and a few other props that we used to create magic. The bat, in particular, symbolized her inner badass, and we used it to capture shots that screamed confidence.

8. Challenges and Surprises: Morning Rush and Broken Coffee Pot

Our morning started with a few unexpected challenges. A broken coffee pot left us caffeine-deprived, and we were running late. As the session progressed, traffic started to pick up with the approaching school hours, but these challenges only added to the uniqueness of our experience.

9. Graffiti Alley: A Moody, Real, and Beautiful Backdrop

The location, Graffiti Alley, played an integral role in shaping the session. It provided a moody, authentic, and breathtaking backdrop that enhanced our creative journey. We had a blast, and the images speak volumes about the fantastic time we had.

10. A Spectrum of Emotions: From Soft to Over the Top

The session encapsulated a wide spectrum of emotions. From soft and strong to a bit crazy and over the top, we explored a range of moods that allowed Sharnai's personality to shine through. The result? Timeless beauty is captured in every frame.

This street-style session with Sharnai was a testament to the power of self-discovery, confidence, and embracing all facets of oneself. We hope these images convey the essence of our extraordinary journey.

Stay tuned for more captivating sessions and stories from Boushie Babes Photography!

Celebrating Joana: A Tale of Renewal and Self-Love

In a world where the pace of life often leaves us breathless, there are moments that stand out as reminders of the importance of self-care and self-love. Joana's story is one such reminder—a beautiful narrative of how a simple giveaway turned into a transformative experience that touched our hearts and rekindled her spirit.

📸 The Giveaway: A Glimmer of Hope

Last year, we held a giveaway that sparked curiosity and excitement among our clients. As the names were drawn, Joana emerged as a runner-up winner. Little did she know that this unexpected twist of fate would lead to a journey of rediscovery and rejuvenation.

💫 A Boost for the Soul

The giveaway came at the perfect moment, offering her an opportunity to pause, reflect, and invest in her well-being.

📷 The Day Just for Her

When Joana stepped into our studio, her warm smile masked a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, nervousness, and a touch of vulnerability. We set the stage for a day that was entirely hers. From the moment she sat in the makeup chair, surrounded by a team dedicated to making her feel cherished, it was evident that this experience would be more than just a photoshoot.

💖 A Celebration of Joana

As the session unfolded, Joana blossomed in front of the camera. Each click of the shutter captured her radiant spirit, showcasing the beauty that comes from within. It was more than photography—it was a celebration of her journey, her strength, and her individuality. From the twinkle in her eyes to the curve of her smile, the images told a story of resilience and grace.

🌟 Embracing Self-Love

Through this experience, Joana learned that self-love is not a luxury, but a necessity. It's about embracing the person you've become, acknowledging the chapters you've lived, and taking time to nurture your soul. Joana's story is a testament to the fact that it's never too late to invest in yourself, to be celebrated, and to shine.

📝 Joana's Journey Continues

Joana's story is a reminder that every person deserves to feel special, cherished, and celebrated. We are grateful to have been a part of her journey, and her radiant spirit continues to inspire us.

Unveiling Authenticity and Self-Love: Shanna's Empowering Journey with Boushie Babes Photography

At Boushie Babes Photography, we believe in capturing stories that go beyond the surface. Our 40 over 40 sessions are a celebration of life, resilience, and the unwavering spirit that emerges with age. Shanna's journey embodies the essence of this transformative experience, as she opens up about her struggles, triumphs, and her remarkable partnership with her Harley, Zephyr.

Shanna's path to self-discovery has been marked by remarkable milestones. Having lost over 100 pounds twice, her journey wasn't just about physical transformation but also a profound inner metamorphosis. She faced her insecurities head-on, opting for a tummy tuck and implants as a testament to her commitment to self-love and acceptance.

However, Shanna's story is more than just a journey of physical changes. Behind the captivating images of her arm tattoo sleeve and the fierce Harley Davidson, lies a history of resilience and healing. Shanna opens up about her traumatic childhood, a period that left her grappling with feelings of unworthiness and a profound sense of unlovability.

"My coping strategies were codependency, an eating disorder, and eventually alcoholism," Shanna shares. It wasn't until 2008 that she embarked on a path of self-discovery and healing. Slowly, she began awakening to her truth, embarking on a journey inward, and embracing her own worth.

Shanna's boudoir shoot with Boushie Babes Photography represents a powerful moment of self-celebration. It's about granting herself permission to shine, to celebrate her authentic self, and to honor her journey. "To celebrate my beauty and light that I have found from the inside out," she reflects, a testament to her newfound self-awareness and self-love.

Her journey isn't just about personal growth; it's about the profound love she shares with her husband and her motorcycle, Zephyr. Shanna's words radiate joy and gratitude as she marvels at the unexpected and beautiful twists that life has taken. Her story is a reminder that life's journey is full of surprises, and embracing these twists with an open heart can lead to unimaginable joy.

Shanna's journey is woven with powerful mottos and sayings that have guided her. "To Thine Own Self Be True" is a reminder of authenticity, while "How Free Do You Want To Be?" serves as a challenge to break free from self-imposed limitations.

As Shanna embraces her path, she envisions the woman she's becoming. "She is no longer asking for permission or approval. She speaks up and asks for her needs to be met," Shanna declares. She's embracing vulnerability, curiosity, and self-compassion, all while standing firmly on the foundation of her worth.

Shanna's words of wisdom echo the hard-earned lessons she's gathered along her journey:

• Healing is an inside job, requiring consistent effort and support.

• You are more than enough just as you are.

• Life is on your side, and love is your guiding force.

Shanna's story is a testament to the power of transformation, self-love, and embracing life's twists and turns. Her journey is a beacon of light, inspiring others to embark on their path of self-discovery, authenticity, and unapologetic self-love.

If Shanna's journey resonates with you, if her story sparks a desire to celebrate your own path, we invite you to explore our 40 over 40 sessions. Contact us today to embark on a transformative experience that captures the essence of your journey and celebrates the remarkable person you are.

Embracing Fearlessness and Self-Love: Racheal's Empowering Journey with Boushie Babes Photography

At Boushie Babes Photography, our lens isn't just focused on capturing images; it's a powerful tool to reflect the strength, resilience, and beauty that reside within each individual. Racheal's story is one that resonates deeply with our core values - the journey of reclaiming self-love, celebrating individuality, and daring to be unapologetically bold.

Racheal's decision to embark on a Love Your Body session was a pivotal moment, a declaration of self-celebration in the face of life's challenges. As a woman who had navigated the realms of motherhood, life's trials, and personal trauma, Racheal's path to healing and self-discovery led her to our studio. She was determined to rewrite her narrative, to create boundaries, and above all, to love herself fiercely - a journey we were both honored and excited to be a part of.

"I love to be outside of the box. Make my own mold. Be bold and brave," Racheal shared with a sparkle in her eyes. Her words echoed the sentiment of someone who was ready to break free from the confines of expectations and societal norms. Racheal had spent years prioritizing others, often neglecting her own needs. But this time, she stood resolute: "Not this time. I'm doing this for me, and I don't care what anyone has to say about it."

In the intimate moments captured during Racheal's session, her transformation from vulnerability to empowerment unfolded before our eyes. The mantra "Tough times don't last, tough people do" became a guiding light. Racheal's journey had been one of resilience, a testament to her unwavering spirit. Her strength emerged from the battles she faced, the self-mothering, the determination, and the refusal to give up on herself.

Racheal chose the words "Head Bitch In Charge" to encapsulate her newfound identity - a declaration of authority over her life, a proclamation of her strength and control. It was a message that resonated with her desire to be fearless, to rise above struggles and external opinions. Through her words and images, Racheal showcased her transformation into a woman who was unafraid to carve her own path, to set her own boundaries, and to stand tall in her independence.

"I am becoming fearless," Racheal declared, her voice unwavering. The metamorphosis she described was a journey of shedding old fears, of stepping into the power of saying "no," and of realizing that self-care isn't selfish - it's essential. Her path towards true independence had been a beautiful, albeit uncomfortable, transformation. And in that discomfort, she found a sense of contentment that had eluded her for so long.

Racheal's wisdom was hard-earned, and she shared it generously: "Life is not fair. People do not care as much as they say they do." Her words carried the weight of experience, a reminder that our energy is best invested in nurturing our own hearts. Racheal had learned that redirecting that energy inward, towards self-love and personal growth, was where true fulfillment lay. Her message was one of kindness, resilience, and the unshakable belief that the world needed more love, not bitterness.

Racheal's journey with Boushie Babes Photography is a testament to the transformative power of embracing oneself fully, of rewriting one's narrative, and of standing tall in the face of adversity. Her story reminds us all that within each of us lies the strength to overcome, the courage to be bold, and the capacity to love ourselves fiercely.

If Racheal's journey resonates with you, if her story of healing and empowerment ignites a spark within, we invite you to embark on your own path of self-celebration. Let Boushie Babes Photography capture the essence of your strength, your beauty, and your unique journey. Reach out to us today, and together, we'll create a visual narrative that speaks to the incredible person you are and the remarkable journey you're on.

A Steampunk Adventure: Boushie Babes Photography Takes on Gunslinger Gulch

At Boushie Babes Photography, we believe in pushing boundaries and embracing creativity. That's why our recent camping trip with the North Idaho Photography Club to Gunslinger Gulch in Montana was a thrilling experience filled with epic fun, steampunk styling, and a chance to explore various photography styles. Join us as we dive into the unforgettable journey we embarked upon, complete with rain-soaked adventures, unique models, and the opportunity to unleash our creative spirits.

Styling the Session: A Steampunk Extravaganza

For this special trip, we decided to delve into the captivating world of steampunk. Armed with vintage-inspired costumes, intricate accessories, and a touch of Victorian charm, our team brought this distinctive aesthetic to life. The steampunk style perfectly blended elegance with industrial elements, resulting in striking visual compositions that were a joy to capture through the lens.

Models: Exploring with the Boushie Babes

Accompanied by two of our daughters, we embarked on this adventure with the perfect models to showcase the steampunk theme. Their youthful energy and enthusiasm added an extra layer of magic to the entire experience. As they effortlessly posed against the rustic backdrop of Gunslinger Gulch, their vibrant personalities shone through, creating photographs that captured their individual spirit and the essence of the steampunk genre.

Epic Fun: Camping in the Rain

Nature has its own plans, and sometimes that means camping in the rain. Despite the unexpected weather, we embraced the adventure with open hearts and made unforgettable memories. Our tent became a haven for our photography equipment, ensuring it stayed dry as we braved the elements. And though the rain forced us to sleep in the car, it only added to the sense of camaraderie and shared excitement among the group.

Creativity Unleashed: Exploring New Photography Styles

Gunslinger Gulch provided the perfect playground for us to experiment with different photography styles. We ventured beyond our comfort zones and dived into more editorial-style shoots, capturing dramatic and captivating moments that showcased the steampunk theme. We also delved into long exposure photography, adding a touch of mystery and ethereal beauty to our compositions. Additionally, we embraced lifestyle photography, capturing candid moments of joy and connection amidst the enchanting surroundings.

A Journey to Remember

Our camping trip to Gunslinger Gulch was more than just a photography excursion—it was a journey of self-expression, exploration, and bonding. We reveled in the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the steampunk world, create unforgettable memories with our loved ones, and learn from fellow photographers within the North Idaho Photography Club. It was a reminder of the immense joy and growth that comes from pushing boundaries, embracing challenges, and embracing our creative spirit.

At Boushie Babes Photography, we seize every opportunity to embark on unique adventures that ignite our passion for photography. Our camping trip to Gunslinger Gulch with the North Idaho Photography Club was a testament to the power of creativity, resilience, and the joy of collaboration. From styling our session in a steampunk style to braving the rain and exploring new photography techniques, this journey will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
