the other night right before a show i found myself thinking: “why am i not rehearsing as much as i used to? am i not...dedicated? if i’m not dedicating hours on end to practice...am i going to fail?”. i started applying every idea i’ve read regarding “success” to my not having spent hours rehearsing and suddenly felt like shit. then a friend said “stop. you didn’t rehearse as much as you think you should’ve. the thought ends there. no great or philosophical reasoning to be made about everything.” 😂 and that pulled me out of my downward spiral instantly. page 120 ‘home body’
