I've been under the weather (sore throat mainly) and have been doing the strictest self care as I am performing on Saturday (I had almost no voice last Monday). I've been doing - Soft foods: Oatmeal, peaches in jelly, loooots of chicken noodle soup, soft fruits (I ate a fig for the first time in my life) - Tea, so much tea - lemon, ginger & honey - I've been having a vitamin C&b effervescent tablet drink in the mornings as an immunity booster - Masking up when I'm inside/around lots of people/interacting with small children - Rested as much as I was able last week, I'm back to work this week - Steaming - warm water - Burning eucalyptus oil in an oil burner - Restricted caffeine intake - just teas and drinking decaf coffee Xo, a fatigued singer

I feel like my brain just exploded and a whole world of possibilities just opened up for me🤯 I've been in a really sticky mental place lately. I'm slacking off in classes, I make excuses for not doing work, and I feel unmotivated overall. We had a discussion about core values today in class and while I could pinpoint important values in my life, such as self-respect, I couldn't say with 100% certainty that I committed to them everyday. Later tonight I taught my first dance class and struggled to even gain the respect of this group of 15 year olds. Which got me thinking: do I really respect myself as a performer? I tend to consider all the obstacles and achievements from my life as 'worthless', I feel embarrassed as to where I am right now in my journey, and disappointed for the times in the past I didn't fight for myself. I retreated back into my old habits as 'punishment' and lost the confidence I worked so hard to gain. But by not working hard now, I'm not respecting myself, which means I'm letting my future self down. I'm setting a strong goal for myself this week to respect myself and everything in my path right now. I started writing out my affirmations and I really feel the sun starting to creep through the clouds now. Excited to update you all next week☀️

Imagine this… 💭 Waking up clear and focused, knowing exactly how to train your mindset for success in this industry. 💭 Walking into any room with confidence and presence, fully owning your space before you even perform. 💭 Learning how to rewire self-doubt into self-belief, so you stop second-guessing yourself and start stepping into your career with certainty. 💭 Knowing how to shift your energy instantly, so nerves don’t take over in auditions, performances, or high-pressure moments. 💭 Understanding the mindset foundations every working performer relies on to stay consistent, resilient, and in control of their future. This is exactly where you’ll be two weeks from now. Something BIG is dropping this week, and I can’t wait to share it with you. 🚀 💙 Taylor (Drop a 🔥 below if you’re ready to step into your next level.)

I was addicted to doom-scrolling on my phone as soon as I woke up in the morning, but I'm consciously trying to change this habit everyday. Instead, I've been reading (currently reading 'The Source' by Dr Tara Stewart), using the meditation practices Taylor has posted, and kept my phone in a separate room. I've noticed a significant shift in my mindset as a result - I'm less focused on comparing myself to those around me and more likely to recognise old thought patterns so I can re-direct them. I do often crash at the end of the day and get glued to my phone ... if anyone has any tips for that afternoon slump I'd love to hear your thoughts! xx
