Today I was determined to just chill. But first I had to go to my solo performance class and rehearse the first 18 minutes of my show. It went well and I got good feedback. Then I went home and rehearsed the rest of my show and then gave myself permission to do nothing. Well, not nothing. I did wash some dishes. But that’s it.
And what a difference it makes on my brain. Mental health is real. Just 24 hours ago I was mentally fried and today I feel so much more relaxed. My job has been so taxing lately. I wish I didn’t have to work at all. I would find plenty of things to do to keep myself occupied- no problem.
Tomorrow morning, I rise early and perform my first morning gig ever. I have to be in Novato for tech at 9am, show at 10am. Lord, give me energy, I pray my adrenaline will kick in. And then afterwards I will reward myself with some geocaching in the backroads of West Marin.
Alright, gonna try and go to bed earlier than normal. Pray for me!
