3 Places of Refuge for Actors

Do you ever feel the need for a safe haven? A place to go to rest and regroup? We all do. 
But I think actors, writers, directors, dancers and anyone in the arts need refuge more than most. There is so little security as an artist, so little control. There is also a good deal of rejection, often with no explanation. If those three things aren’t reason enough to have safe places to turn to, I don’t know what is! 
Following are three sources of refuge for the beautiful, weary, and tender soul of the artist.
The Heart and Body To sit down, to go inside, and look deeply into your heart and to feel how the hearts joys and longings live in the body, is to take the truest refuge possible.

A refuge is a safe place, not a battle ground, so before you take refuge in the heart and body, it is wise to make the decision to be your own best friend instead of your own worst enemy.
Your mind can contribute much to the worst enemy category. As the main function of the brain is to create logic streams and to keep you safe, it can come up with some really negative talk around
