Easy Does It

by

Definitely feeling a lot better today in the throat. I am not 100% because of all the pollen in the air that ceases to die away. I set a goal to wake up several times throughout the night to chug some water. It made a huge difference. If I let myself talk for too long, the air gets into my lungs and make it sore all over again. I want to review the role I am understudying, but I have to use my voice. I think I will go for it later on after the show this evening. As long as I am taking it easy, I am happy.
I feel myself having to constantly remind myself to breath. A great solution - a nice bath. I love it when these ideas come to me! Brilliance! No, seriously, it really helps when I just let my thoughts ramble. The solution shows itself. To be in a nice bath and review my lines sounds fantastic. I suppose it would be true to say, one of the greatest things about “getting better” is all the extra pampering I do for myself.
