Stress neverending.....

Stress for me comes in many forms like everybody else. And it's all self-induced, no matter what the situation. That fact doesn't help when I'm in the middle of a beyond stressful moment. What could be the most stressful job?? There will be many out there to disagree with me but for me a month ago was ......wedding photographer!!!! Hands down!!!! When the photographer doesn't do a good job, the bride will let you know about it.
Photography is one of my passions. I love it. I only do outdoor weddings on the rare occasions I give in and take pictures for a wedding. I'm picky about the lighting and surroundings and when those criteria don't work I'm my own worst critic. That's not saying much since I am a Virgo. But in my opinion to do a job is to do it the absolute best I can do or what's the point especially when I'm getting paid. So that's where the stress enters my life. Never ending perfection in my own head. I push myself and it works sometimes and if I'm not careful I receive the wonderful migraine. Usually three days worth.
Passions are important but I need to try and not get so overwhelmed by other personalities. They are draining, exhausting and sap any ounce of reasonable calmness located in my body.
I'm learning stress is linked to fear.
No fear.....ok.....no stress........hahahaha.
