Seeing that comment about three years of work really hits home. I used to think waiting so long was silly, but your story changed my view. It's like @nathan492's useless hills, but sometimes patience leads to great results. My first telescope shots were always blurry.

Back in Chicago, I had a two-minute rule between appointments. I'd step into the back room, close my eyes, and just listen to the white noise machine for a bit... it washed away the last session's energy. Then I'd splash cold water on my face, which always shocked me back to the present. Clients started commenting on how fresh I seemed, even during busy days. That physical reset made me more attentive to their skin's needs without saying a word.

Been there, it's easy to get lost in the rabbit hole.
