Focus

I find it interesting and appropriate that in Monday's Motivation post it mentions focus. As I sit here after two exhausting and exhilarating days of auditions, life handed me some stress with a car I'm locked out of, a battery that is dead and a tire that is flat with a notice from the city that I have 48 hours to get it off the street. What's an artist to do? Life happens, but I find it a battle of focus. In times of high stress my brain wants to shut down, what seems easy on other days; focus on the day job, organize the projects and the artistic endeavors, have a million meetings, is now a battle of capacity. I know I am not the only business owner or artist who deals with this. It is an exercise in management, it is an exercise of self-kindness, it is a practice of balance. I try hard to take the moments in life to bring me perspective and offer me lessons I can grow from. I cannot change the things that life throws my way, but I can learn to deal better with the adversities. Just my thoughts this morning.
