As an actor, you have a lot of stuff on your to-do list. Between classes, auditions, mailings, bookings, job, and life you may find it hard to carve out any time to take care of yourself because no two days ever look the same. But the truth is that your body, mind, and emotional health make up your instrument. To take care of your instrument, a self-care practice is a must!
One of the best ways to make sure you get in some “me time” every day is to set up a healthy morning routine.
The goal is to fit this in every day, even if that means going to sleep and getting up a little earlier. In my own experience, I feel so much stronger, focused, and ready to tackle whatever the day holds when I stick to my morning routine. Of course, some days don’t go quite as planned and I skip it. Life happens! But I encourage you to get in the habit of taking care of yourself first thing, before you let the rest of the day in.
To give you some ideas about how you can start creating habits that will keep your instrument happy and healthy, I’m sharing my own morning routine. Feel free to take it as your own, make tweaks that work for you, or create something totally new!
