Instead, I’m letting it be a slower start - a bit of a warm-up - so I don’t burn myself out before the year’s even properly begun.I chat about why traditional resolutions don’t really work for actors, how I’m thinking about goals in a more relaxed way, and why starting slowly might actually help us stay in this career longer.If you’re feeling behind already, overwhelmed, or quietly panicking about what this year is meant to look like - this one’s for you.Take a seat in the waiting room. There’s no rush.
