Stress is NOT the solution
It’s all in the title. There is a huge part of me that is dying to spend my entire day stressing over many things: my injured foot, my next gig, booking gigs in the future, whether or not I will make it on broadway and continue working on those huge stages that mean so much to me, other people’s opinions, my weight, my family, my friends, my relationships with the current being I am working with, … the list can go on and on and I could seriously put myself in the hospital with all the stress. But in reality, I can only take my life a day at a time. I can only plan my future but that changes a day at a time because I learn more and more about what is more important. It is one thing to completely believe in myself. It takes constant effort to put all my faith in a higher power, but with faith, it takes a huge load of stress off my back. When I give away the stress, I start to see all the great things I have already and I am filled with gratitude. I am lucky enough to be booked through August 10 of this year. I am continuously working on my own music, the theatre I am working with is being very kind and patient with me - giving me the time I need to completely heal from this temporary sprain. I have friends and family who love me unconditionally. I’m continuously growing as an artist and growing into the artist I want to be … thinking about all of this does more than just relax my body - it gets me to smile. It makes my entire body float. I start to see how much has come true. If I chose to sit in a stressful place, it would not get me anywhere.
