Days like Today

It has been a slow few weeks in terms of auditions and I've started to feel antsy.  I have to remind myself that I've done a lot in the past month despite the lack of "going out."  Shooting the commercial, shooting the webseries, shooting a short film, production meetings, writing, painting, and a lot of knitting have all been happening.  I just get incredibly restless and am always wondering what's next and when "next" will happen.  When I start to feel this anxiousness, I open up The Artist's Way and skim over the parts I have underlined or highlighted.  Today I randomly turned to the section about "Filling the Form":

Most of the time, the next right thing is something small: washing out your paintbrushes, stopping by the art-supply store and getting your clay, checking the local paper for a list of acting classes...As a rule of thumb, it is best to just admit that there is always one action you can take for your creativity daily.  This daily action commitment fills the form. (pg. 141)

The bolded section of that quote is what I have underlined in my book.  And it is true.  I can't discount the "one action" I've been taking each day.  I'm looking for a new class to take - I'm thinking sketch comedy is on the horizon - and I've been doing all that I've already listed.  We have rehearsal tonight for this weekend's shoot and I plan on writing this afternoon after I go to yoga and meet with my friend T. for coffee.  Things are happening all the time.  I have a vision of the "big picture" of all I want to be doing and I always want to skip ahead.  For example, my screenplay that I'm working on, I keep picturing our shoot days...even though I'm still in the research phase. I'm looking way beyond instead of looking at the next right step.  And that is where all of the anxiety is stemming from.  In my acting career, in my writing career, in my life.  I need days like today to remind me that I am exactly where I should be and that each step I take is leading me to where I want to be.
