My mind was consumed with taking that perfect picture for Instagram. Instead of being in the present moment, I became obsessed with capturing the perfect moment so I could post it later. I would Google and search Pinterest for the perfect caption and often used bits and pieces from other people’s caption to create my own. I would also redo real life moments just so I could capture them on camera. I ‘had’ to take good pictures of my food when I was on my weight loss journey and justified it as being able to inspire others on how I was losing weight. I remember asking my kids to hold their pose so I could grab my phone to snag the perfect picture. In the pursuit of trying to capture the perfect moment, I was not enjoying or being present in the moment. I was wasting soo much time trying to capture it with my phone that I wasn’t able to enjoy it with all of my senses.
