Stop worrying

I saw a stop sign yesterday.  Someone had put up a sticker under the word "stop" that said "worrying."  I feel like I've been doing a lot of that lately - worrying.  The little stop-sign-reminder made me laugh and reminded me to let go a little.  At the beginning of the year I swore I would get off of the hamster wheel and now at the middle of the year, I feel myself belly-crawling toward it again.  Seeing that friends are going out on auditions, wishing that I was too, wondering what I'm doing wrong, wondering if it's time to throw in the towel, worrying that I'm not doing enough to let casting directors know about the festivals I'm in, worrying about what my next step should be - another class? More workshops? Will my new headshots make a big enough difference?  Worry worry worry. Negative negative negative.

And then, last night, my friend K. sent me this message:

We have 3000 thoughts a day.  What type of energy are you filing them with?

...I mean, right?

Ok, Universe. I get it.  Thoughts become things. It's up to me to make them the things I want.  Today is a new day...
