How Are You Spending Your Days?
April 25th, 2020
Hello my friends! I hope that you are staying safe and well in these crazy times. We have now been under stay at home orders for over a month and I finally feel like I am ready to talk about how it has personally affected me.
I know that everyone is going through their own struggles in these unprecedented times. Some days I wake up feeling like I’m in some terrible movie while others I wake up ready to be productive and use this time for good. It changes that quickly and do you know what? That’s okay! It’s okay to feel however you are feeling and to cope in whatever way you need to.
So what does that look like for an artist? What does that look like for someone who’s job revolves around collaborating with others and performing onstage?
Well, everyone is a little different but this is how I’m choosing to spend my days…
· Looking inward and using this time to listen to myself. I am one of those people who fill their days to the point of bursting and the first thing that gets neglected…ME. So everyday I take time to meditate, workout, read or just take a walk. Also, learning how to REST. For someone that thrives on being busy, this is a hard lesson.
· Taking time for self-improvement. Part of this is physical…eating well, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep & fitness. However, I’m also continuing my education about different aspects of the entertainment industry through virtual classes and discussions with a wonderful community called NO MARKING.
· Finishing projects that have been left on the backburner for too long! So far that has included updating my website, resume and audition book (a never ending project). I’m also editing video footage and working on new arrangements for my solo show!
· PUPPY CUDDLES
· And of course…discovering new music, watching plenty of BroadwayHD, Netfilx & Hulu,
BE WELL. STAY SAFE. WE ARE AII IN THIS TOGETHER.
