We tend to use New Year’s resolutions as an opportunity to finally commit to living the life we want. As an actor, you are already doing that. The entertainment industry may seem like a glamorous place where dreams come true, but in reality it is one of the toughest industries for a professional. Rejection is hard in any capacity—especially if you are in a profession as personal as acting. It can be difficult to accept setbacks in a career when they seem like setbacks in a dream.
While you may not be able to change a director or casting director’s decision, you can change the way you look at these situations and how you approach future ones. Writing and reciting daily affirmations (short powerful positive statements) can truly change your outlook on yourself and your life. Instead of resolving to make yourself immune to failure, start off this new year by reflecting on why you’re pursing your passion as you celebrate yourself. Here are some affirmations you can say to yourself to get you thinking as you begin to manifest what you desire in your acting career and life.
I make my own happiness.
I create my own work.
I am unique. I feel good about being me.
I have a great memory and learn
