Those tasks get a home so your brain doesn't have space to negotiate with you. Because if you let your brain negotiate, you might lose. Think about training the way you think about brushing your teeth. You don't wait to feel inspired for that. You do it because you're a person who brushes their teeth. Same energy. You do the work becaus…","meta_description":"There's a version of an acting career that looks like a highlight reel. Big auditions. Exciting callbacks. The moment everything clicks.
