How to stay present amidst all the chaos

from The Aligned Actor · host Amy Schloerb 🎭

We’re practicing mindfulness today because mindfulness is an incredibly important tool that can help us thrive physically, mentally, and emotional in all areas and aspects of our creative lives.As a reminder, mindfulness is an incredibly simple practice — it’s a special way of paying attention to the present moment with kindness and curiosity.In the past I’ve used the term, “non-judgmental curiosity” but I’ve been enjoying Mindfulness Daily with Tara Brach & Jack Kornfield — a free 40 day course I highly recommend — and they often use the word “kindness” to describe the quality of mind cultivated through mindfulness. I’m finding I prefer the term “kindness” over “non-judgmental” because it keeps the focus on what to do instead of what not to do.Check out my website --> thealignedactor.comGet my Pre-Audition Focusing Meditation (free!) --> https://pre-audition-focusing-meditation.teachery.co/get-it-now Get full access to The Aligned Actor at thealignedactor.substack.com/subscribe
