About 3 weeks ago, I was feeling rather glum. My typical, SAD-induced January blahs. Specifically I thought my performing career options were bleak.
Then, I stopped and actually looked at my calendar. Guess what? I have had more auditions this year then I had ALL last year. Okay, 2021 was a pandemic mess, as was 2020. So I looked back at 2019. More auditions in the first 6 weeks of 2022 than in 2019. My energy changed from "nothing happening" to "around the corner".
This small exercise reminded me of how much the stories I tell myself can get in my way. I've actively returned to transforming the story in my head to the open, positive, creative one that was so dominant in 2021.
I'll post here when that first contract starts. In the meantime, consider signing up for my Creatavita newsletter . Creatavita is my creative guiding business, and in the usually-monthly newsletter you'll find a creative thought, an inspiring creator, and news about upcoming events (online and in-person, free and paid). More creating, less noise - that's my goal with this newsletter.
Oh. The photo above. The inside of a hot-air balloon that I rode in 10 years ago in Luxor, Egypt. Time flies and so do balloons.
