It’s easier to act your way into a new way of thinking than to think your way into a new way of acting.
That goes for life and for acting.
Why is this? Because the more we sit around thinking about something, the less likely we are to take action as the thinking process red flags us to all the reasons why (we believe) something won’t work.
Or maybe Yoda said it better: “Try not! Do or do not. There is no try.”
Just. Take. Action. So simple, isn’t it?
That’s the basic premise of acting that’s been taught for years. The art of doing. (It’s actually the art of being first before we do, because we must first be in something before we can experience it.)
But once those physics are taken care of, we simply must do.
We get in our own way because we have expectations of how we think something should look first before we attempt it. And that hesitation is what keeps us from committing. It’s never going to look how we think it’s going to look, and if we could just allow ourselves to surrender to that premise, we would be more likely to act.
Things often don’t work out. You have to get over that fact. Things don’t work
