START AGAIN MONDAY

Welcome to Start Again Mondays

Alrighty…

Start again

Something I’m watching

When I woke up on Sunday morning

I thought about when next I would be on set

My stomach churned

I felt a deep pang of dissonance

Simply thinking about being on set brought up a fearful reaction

(the amazing power of a thought - sending my body into a state of survival)

Curious

When I was working up in Byron Bay last year

I was in a bath tub hunched over the evening before we began filming

Ive found this to be quite a common reaction the night before I begin a new job

I use to judge it

Thinking it was a bad thing, that it was wrong

Ive spent the last 5 years learning otherwise

So here are some lovely clips I like to watch to remind myself how normal my fears are…

DiCaprio talking about anxiety on the set of Wolf of Wall Street

Around the 11:50 mark, its about 45 seconds long:

Mike Tyson (known as the “baddest man on the planet”) crying before a fight

It’s about 2 minutes long:

Hope this helps x

Quote I’m considering

“I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy”

Philip Seymour Hoffman on winning an Oscar

mmm

Curious
