Take time to take care of your mental health. Super, super important. If we are not healthy mentally and physically, we just can’t work. If you had a broken leg would you expect yourself to run a marathon? Of course not. With our loud, distracting, difficult world mental health is on the decline. As actors we use our bodies, our minds, our souls, our emotions to do our work. If we are unable to access ourselves due to mental health issues, we simply can’t do what we need to survive, let alone thrive. So take breaks, exercise, practice mindfulness, get help from a professional if needed, build your support system. You deserve to do what you’re called to. Don’t let depression, anxiety, addiction, lack of self-confidence, etc. get in your way!
