It has been an incredibly exciting two weeks. Sorry about the delay in posting. As promised here’s the cover of my upcoming book.
I’ve been going out on auditions and was grateful to book one last week.
I’m also updating my soon-to-be-released ebook Inspire Me Series: Book 1 & 2 is now available for pre-sale on Amazon.
I’ve been working on the paperback and it should be up for pre-sale by May 20th.
On my Poetic Resurrection podcast, I did an episode called Overwhelmed Yet Excited, and here’s an excerpt from it.
Have you ever wished for a certain situation to happen, be it a career, family event, or a relationship, only to be overwhelmed when it does? There’s excitement there to see how a dream is materializing and then the overwhelmed button seems to turn on just when you feel your life is going your way. Is it because we’re not prepared? Can it be that we anticipated a different scenario? What we perceive is just that—a perception.
This happened to me lately. As an actor, you want more opportunities to audition. More auditions equal more possibilities of booking a job. Got a new agent, and I assumed the experience I have had in the past, would continue. It didn’t. I’ve been going out on many auditions. It’s so exciting to audition and book one or two here and there. Great! I love it!
The situation of feeling overwhelmed happened when I didn’t alter my regular routine to accommodate the change. I was trying to do it all.
I believe the answer I’m looking for is: balance because life is good.
So, what is being overwhelmed, excited, and balanced?
Overwhelm
According to the GoodTherapy website, the definition of overwhelmed is emotional overwhelm is a state of being beset by intense emotion that is difficult to manage. It can affect your ability to think and act rationally. It could also prevent you from performing daily tasks.
Excitement
Whereas excitement is an emotional state marked by enthusiasm, eagerness or anticipation, and general arousal (APA Dictionary)/
Balance
Is a harmonious relationship or equilibrium of opposing forces or contrasting elements.
Can we do it all? I believe you can make the most of these situations. First, ask yourself what is really important to you? What are you willing to let go of? Can you write out a pros and cons list for each situation? Quiet the mind. Do some meditation, and go for a walk. Do something that brings you joy, right here, right now. Life changes and so can you. Let go of what no longer serves your life. Follow your dreams. We are resilient.
Many Blessings!
