Yesterday I lost it. I had a little breakdown after the realization that my body isn't cooperating to the extent I hoped it would. It happens to the best of us, especially with this kind of commitment and the pressure that comes with it. Self inflicted of course. I was playing with the idea of putting it off until the spring. I still may but I'm not giving up on the fall shows yet. I need to keep going and see how far I can get.
Today I'm refocused. I'm going to keep forging forward with my eye on the prize but with a realistic vision. I'm sticking with my plan and I'll assess each week where I am and as I get closer to the show/s I'll decide if the money is worth it to get on stage. Like I said, I'm not leaving without a trophy. So if my body doesn't respond I'll keep at it and hit the spring shows.
So I got up today, I put a smile on my face, took a deep breath and I got on the treadmill. And that's that :)
