Summer is here!

Summer is a time to reflect on our achievements and plan for the future. This period of introspection is not just about catching up on tasks or starting new projects but also about celebrating what we’ve accomplished and setting higher standards for the upcoming season. 

When you decide to be(come) a professional performer, you also agree with the life that goes with it. James Clear of ‘Atomic Habits’ says it like this:

‘If you want to be an author, you can’t only choose the finished novel and book signings. You are also choosing months of lonely typing. If you want to be a bodybuilder, you can’t only choose a fit body and attention. You are also choosing boring meals and counting calories.’ 

Choosing the path of a professional stage performer is not just about the glamour of the spotlight and the applause. It’s about the personal growth that comes from hours of memorizing, character studies, and practice. It’s about the satisfaction of a job well done, even if it’s not always recognized publicly. The rewards of this journey, the growth, and satisfaction, should be just as, if not more, fulfilling than the public accolades.

You need a particular set of skills to move from one performance or audition opportunity to another. Practicing mental skills is not just a supplement to your performance skills but a crucial part of building excellence, focus, resilience, and stamina. It’s what makes you not just a performer, but a professional performer, capable of overcoming any challenge that comes your way.
