Afternoon Pep Talk

Words & Photography
by Tayler Golden



It's 1 o'clock and I'm still in my robe with old mascara eyes. You know those days when you have so much to do that you don't end up doing anything...oh, just me? Well, I'm laying here looking at my calendars trying to find some motivation.

I am feeling spread thin right now. Trying to be a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, and friend. Trying to work out, constantly eat healthy, have my own style, keep our home clean, read, take pretty photos and run a business.

Life is just overwhelming when we think of the big picture too often...I need to put myself in the present. 

Life is just overwhelming when we think of the big picture too often. The only thing I can do is right now, in this moment. I know it's now a cliche but I need to put myself in the present. Restart my day right now. 1 o'clock isn't too late for a restart, right? And first on the list: Going to take a shower.
