I AM AN ACTOR

This week I saw my therapist and and this is the sentence he got me to write down; I am an Actor, and gave me homework; for one month I am to live this mantra, to fully embrace being an actor.

Self motivation. That’s the stuff that can get tricky if you’re having a down day or you’ve had a week of no auditions.

Welcome back to the LA Diary; the week that was in LA. 

This weeks thoughts (plus oracle card reading at the end!

It’s funny how as an actor some days it feels like you’re in a contact state of failure, with absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel. Then there’s days when everything feels possible, it’s like this indescribable energy that only comes when you’re truly going after your dreams.
