The Art of Letting Go


#LettingGo is an art.  It's a daily practice and it applies to so many things.  After an audition, it's especially hard.  And it only becomes easier with lots and lots of practice.  I used to obsess about my performance in the room.  My brain would play over and over and over again to the point of depression.  I would fixate on details of what I did #WRONG.

Letting go is especially hard when the people in the room comment on how amazing your performance was.  Even you pat yourself on the back and you are proud of your time.  And then you don't hear from them or you do but they've chosen someone else.  Letting go is hard, it stings.  #OUCH.

Letting go is difficult,  you've played the entire shoot in your head.  You can see the cameras, you see yourself, the set.  You picture yourself in the role.  You can't wait to shoot.  You have prepared for the role, in fact you are the role.  But you didn't even get the audition. #FUCK!

Letting go with relationships that don't serve you is the same.  You don't want to do it.  But you know you have to.  You have to press "#DELETE" on the friendship.

For me letting go is easier if I think of it as  "if its meant for me it will come back".  In my experience some don't and some do.  Even roles.  In fact it just happened to me recently.

Regardless, letting go is an art.  That you have to keep at daily, in your passion, in life .....  so you might as well get to practicing. #FIN
